Use

This function supports the subsequent shipping of reports that have already been sent, if a new version of the report exists and has been released. The subsequent shipping function delivered in the standard system takes into account the legal guidelines for the validity area European Union.

Depending on the recipient country and region, you can modify the delivered function for subsequent shipping or develop your own functions and implement them in the program.

Prerequisites

In the IMG activity Specify Shipping Reasons, the reason SUB_CALL with the business process MSDS_DIST is set up for subsequent shipping in the standard system.

In the IMG activity Manage User Exits you can find the user exit EHS_SUBSEQ of user exit category SRE_SUBSEQ. The function for subsequent shipping is implemented in the program depending on the recipient country and region.

In the IMG activity Assign Check and Subsequent Shipping Functions, the function module to call the subsequent shipping function is assigned depending on the recipient country and region.

Features

Determining subsequent shipping orders can be set up to run automatically at set intervals. Using the validity date, the SAP System also takes into account reports that have already been released but only become valid at a date in the future.

Subsequent shipping orders are created by the SAP System as follows:

If the assignments match, the subsequent shipping orders are created and displayed in the shipping log (see Processing Report Shipping Orders). The current recipient data is determined during this process.

If you have used the shipping reason to specify that subsequent shipping orders should be created with the initial status Created, the subsequent shipping orders must first be released manually. All released subsequent shipping orders are passed on for further processing without additional checks.

See Report Shipping Status Network

Example

A customer orders a material on February 1, 1998 for which a material safety data sheet must be sent. The version 1.0 is sent. The subsequent shipping indicator is set. On July 1 version 2.0 is created and is shipped subsequently. The SAP System uses February 1, 1998 as the target shipping date. Version 3.0 is created on February 15, 1999 and is not shipped subsequently. Subsequent shipping took place eight months ago, but the target shipping date is more than twelve months ago.
