Connection to Shipping 

Processing in R/3 Shipping makes it possible to carry out all shipping activities without an active connection to a central sales system. As with the R/3 WM system, this permits processing of shipping activities even when the host system is not available.

Bi-directional Process

  1. Delivery data is transmitted from the R/2 RV Shipping component and received by a receiving program in the R/3 SD Shipping system.
  2. In the R/3 System, deliveries are automatically created for the SD Shipping system.
  3. Via an interface to WM, a transfer order is created for the delivery and passed back to the SD system.
  4. The SD system then transmits a communication document with the appropriate data back to the R/2 RV Shipping component where it is posted.
  5. Goods issues in the R/2 Inventory Management system are updated as described in R/2 ® R/3 Processes.

 

Analyzing Communication Documents Received in Shipping

Procedures used to evaluate and process communication documents and errors which result from using the Shipping component are exactly the same as for WM.

For a complete description of these procedures, see The Analysis Tool.
