Define Loading Groups (SAP Library

Define Loading Groups

You define the loading groups in this menu option. You enter the loading groups defined here in the material master record for the sales data for each plant.

Recommendation

The shipping point determination can only be carried out by the SAP System if a loading point is contained in the material master record. Since the shipping point is a requirement for the creation of a delivery, you should mark the loading point in the material master record as a required entry to ensure that the loading group is entered and can be copied into a sales document. For more information on how mark fields in the material master record as mandatory see the section "Define Material types".

If you do not distinguish between different loading groups in your company, you should work with a standard loading group, for example, "0001" which must be specified in all material master records.

Actions

1. Check which loading groups are used in your company.

2. Specify an alphanumeric key with up to 4 digits and a description for the loading groups.

3. Make sure that the loading group is entered in the material master records.
