Shipping Package
Use
A shipping package is an aid to entering documents (please see: Document Entry ).
Example
A minibus is driven to a usage site with a box containing several small equipment items (a shovel, two buckets, five floor cloths etc.). The box and its contents are entered in the system and sent together as one shipping package.
Integration
You can integrate a Settlement Package into a shipping package. However, you cannot integrate a shipping package into another shipping package. Both physical equipment and materials are allowed.
Prerequisites
If you are dealing with materials, the material type must have been defined as allowed in Customizing.
Equipment must have been defined as allowed for shipping documents. You make this setting in the field for allowed document categories in the equipment master record.
The shipping package number can represent physical equipment or fictitious equipment.
Shipping package items can only be physical equipment.
You cannot enter the shipping package number (equipment) itself as an item (in contrast to the settlement package).
NoteIf the Copy shipping document indicator is set accordingly, you may be required to choose the equipment to be included in the shipping document from a list when you try to enter equipment in the shipping document. If you so wish, you can also set the
Copy ship. doc.
indicator so that this selection list does not appear.End of the note.
Features
When you enter shipping documents, the shipping package is split up into its individual items and the quantity of each item in the shipping package is multiplied by the number of shipping documents. In this way, inventory management is also performed. If the shipping package number represents physical/real equipment, the shipping package number is copied to the shipping document. If the shipping package number represents fictitious equipment, the shipping package number is not copied to the shipping document.
