Define Shipping Conditions
You define shipping conditions in this step. You enter the shipping conditions defined here in the customer master record in the sales data for each sales area. The SAP system copies the shipping condition into the sales document header.
Note
You can also determine a shipping condition for each sales document type. This shipping condition is then used for determining the shipping point in the sales document instead of what is specified in the customer master record (see the chapter "Determine shipping condition by sales document type").
Requirements
Shipping point determination can only be carried out by the SAP system if a shipping condition is contained in the sales document.
Recommendation
- Since the shipping point is a requirement for
creating a delivery, mark the shipping condition in the customer master record
as a required entry to make sure that the shipping condition is entered and
can be copied to a sales document. For more information on how to mark fields
in the customer master record as required, see the chapter
"Define account groups and field selection for
customers".
- If you do not make a distinction between the different shipping conditions in your company, you should work with a standard shipping condition, for example "01", which is specified in all customer master records.
Actions
1. Check which
shipping conditions are used in your company.
2. Specify an
alphanumeric key which can have up to 2 positions and a description for the
shipping conditions.
3. Make sure
that the shipping conditions are entered in the customer master
records.
