Distribution of TAS-Relevant Documents (ALE)

Use

The Terminal Automation System for your depot receives the information about which load IDs are to be used, as well as additional details about the pick-up or shipment by means of IDocs.

In the case of pick-ups, this information is sent using IDoc OILORD02 and for shipments, IDoc OILSHL01 is used.

Prerequisites

Output determination controls the distribution of TAS-relevant documents using ALE. To do this, you have to assign a suitable output determination procedure at item level in Customizing:

To do this, choose Start of the navigation path Sales and Distribution Next navigation step Basic Functions Next navigation step Output Control Next navigation step Output Determination Next navigation step Output Determination Using the Condition Technique Next navigation step Maintain Output Determination for Sales Documents Next navigation step Maintain Output Types End of the navigation path . Condition 477 carries out the following checks so that the document can be sent:

  • The item has to be TAS-relevant

  • A load ID must be assigned to the item

  • The copy indicator of the load ID may not be set

The change message in Customizing determines whether the IDoc created is sent as a new or changed IDoc.

When document items or complete documents are deleted, corresponding IDocs are sent with deletion indicators. This occurs when the documents are posted.
