In the delivery, the route proposal also takes the weight group into account.A particular customer always requires immediate delivery. You enter the appropriate shipping condition into the customer master record. This means that when you process orders for this customer, the system automatically proposes the express mail room as a shipping point and the quickest way to the airport as a route.If a shipping condition has been assigned to a sales document type in Customizing, this condition will be proposed by the system in the corresponding sales document. If there is no assignment, the system copies the relevant data from the corresponding customer master record of the sold-to party. You cannot change this value during delivery processing.

You can predefine shipping/receiving points in the system, based on different combinations ofPlantsShipping conditionsLoading groupsDuring delivery processing, the shipping/receiving point is the most important criterion that you use to select deliveries.A delivery can be shipped from only one shipping point or received at only one receiving point.If you want to provide more detailed information about a shipping point you can specify a loading point (for example, one of a number of different loading ramps).If, for example, you want to ship refrigerated goods to a certain customer by rail, the system proposes a shipping point with a suitable location and equipment for loading refrigerated goods onto rail cars.The system can propose a shipping/receiving point. If valid alternatives are predefined in your system, you can change the shipping/receiving point manually. Maximum length: 4.

Shipping Type. Shipping type (for example, by road or rail) that has been selected for the transportation of the goods for the shipment legs. During automatic shipment leg determination, all legs created or only the main, direct, or return legs are assigned to this shipping type, depending on the type of leg determination.You can enter the shipment type for the main, direct or return legs in the shipping header. The value is proposed depending on the requirement in the shipment type.By setting the status "planned", you have the shipping type copied from the respective deliveries into the shipment header, provided:The shipping type is identical in all the deliveries.The shipping type in the shipment header is not already filled.See also: Leg determination. Maximum length: 2.

Transportation Group. A grouping of materials that share the same route and transportation requirements. Transportation groups are used for automatic route scheduling during sales order and delivery note processing.Suppose that you sell food products, some of which are perishable and require refrigeration. You create a transportation group that includes all the products that need refrigerated trucks for delivery. Maximum length: 4.

Transportation Planning Date. The date by which you must arrange transportation so that the delivery can reach the customer on time. The system can propose the transportation scheduling date from predefined time estimates. Estimates may be based on the route. If items in a delivery have different transportation scheduling dates, the system displays the earliest date in the document header. You can change the date manually.If, for example, you plan to use an external carrier for trucking, you must arrange for a truck to be available when the goods are ready for loading.

Transportation Planning Status. Indicates the extent to which transportation planning has been performed. This characteristic controls the selection of deliveries to make up shipments in transportation planning. It is used a selection criterion for finding deliveries.The indicator is set by the system on the basis of the leg indicator (preliminary, subsequent, direct, return) in the headers of the shipment documents to which the delivery has been assigned.Blank - Not relevantDelivery is not to be processed in transportationplanning. This is the case when:- the delivery type is not relevant for transportation, or- the route is not relevant for transportation (only foroutbound deliveries; not required forinbound deliveries), or- a shipment block has been set in the delivery (only foroutbound deliveries: not required for inbound deliveries)A - Not yet plannedDelivery is to be processed in transportation planning.It has not yet been assigned to a shipment document.B - Partially plannedDelivery is to be processed in transportationplanning. The delivery has already beenassigned to at least one shipment document but thetransportation chain is not complete (see status C).C - Completely plannedDelivery has been assigned to one or moreshipment documents in transportation planning. Dependingon the leg indicator in each shipment header, the delivery isconsidered to be completely planned if- it exists in a direct leg or a return leg or- it exists in a preliminary, main, subsequent leg or- each stage assigned to the delivery connects to asubsequent stage, thus connecting the pointof departure with the destination of the delivery withno gaps in transportation (as of Release 4.6A).
