Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination (SAP Library

Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination

For each item, the SAP System determines the shipping point when processing a sales document. You can change the shipping point in the sales document manually. Shipping points are maintained in Customizing in Section "Create shipping point".

The specification of a shipping point is required for creating a delivery for an order item.

The automatic determination of the shipping point depends on the following criteria:

delivering plant of the item

The delivering plant is automatically determined by the SAP System in the sales document item, on the basis of the ship-to party and the material. You can manually change the delivering plant of an item.
