Define Transportation Connection Points

In this activity you define transportation connection points.

A connection point can be one of the following:

Note

On the detailed screen of a connection point, you can also enter locations as a reference. For example, you can define a shipping point or a plant as a node. Alternatively, you can refer to an address. The specification of a location or an address is required.

On the detailed screen, you can also enter an office of exit if you are processing export activities. For information on this subject, refer to the section "Define customs office and assign routes" . If you want to have the system determine the office of exit for export activities, maintain the address of the points that are defined as border crossings.

Activities

1. Define which points are relevant for your shipping processes.
2. For each point, enter an alphanumeric key of maximum 10 digits. Also enter a text description for each point.
3. Maintain the detailed data of the point. For each point, you must either maintain an address or specify a reference to an existing location.

Note about automatic shipment

Select the entries you want shipped and then choose Table view -> Shipment . You can still check the contents of these entries and then either transfer them into the transfer order you created or delete them.
