Define, copy, delete, check shipping point

In this step, you define the shipping points in your company or edit shipping points that already exist. In order to adapt the functional scope of a shipping point to the organization in your company, you should process the following check list:

• The shipping point is the top level in the organization for shipping.

• A shipping point can be allocated to several plants.

• A shipping point can be divided into several points.

• A delivery is always initiated from exactly one shipping point. Thus, all items of a delivery belong to one shipping point. Groups of deliveries also belong to exactly one shipping point.

• You can influence delivery scheduling via allocation to departure zones.

• The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing depending on the plant, loading group and shipping condition.

• A shipping point has an address.

• The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for lists of deliveries and the work list deliveries.

• The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for processing deliveries like printing, picking or goods issue.

• You can determine the printer destination for messages differently for every shipping point on account of shipping documents.
