Activity Profiles (SAP Library - Transportation (LE-TRA))

Activity Profiles

Use

Activity profiles define activities that are to be carried out in the shipment document when a certain status is set for that shipment. You can define a different profile for each status (planning, check-in, completion, etc.) Possible activities that can be carried out as the status is set include:

Add to the data in the dialog box
Post goods issue for the deliveries in the shipment
Calculate the shipping costs
Create invoices for the deliveries in the shipment
Print certain outputs

Prerequisites

A variant in Customizing must be maintained per shipment type for the status that is to be carried out. Define in this variant which activities should be carried out and whether a dialog box should appear when the status is set.

To configure the activity profiles, choose Define and assign activity profiles in the Implementation Guide (IMG).

Features

The system automatically executes the activities that you specified for the respective shipment type and status, once the relevant status is set.

You want to make sure that goods issue is always posted for all deliveries in shipments with shipment type Individual shipment immediately after the shipment is marked as complete. You also want a dialog box containing the driver’s name to appear when the status is set to Check-in.

You then define activity profiles for Check-in and Completion for shipment type Individual shipment. For check-in, you set the default for a dialog box that appears containing the contents of the field Driver. For completion, you set goods issue posting to be carried out automatically as this status is set.

Activities

Define activity profiles for your shipment types for any status at which activities should be carried out.
