Sending a Shipping Notification via EDI (SAP Library

Sending a Shipping Notification via EDI

Use

In the EDI scenario, you create a message with the delivery which is sent to the customer via EDI as a shipping notification. On your side, the delivery can be initiated automatically by a forecast delivery schedule from the customer.

In the scenario, a scheduling agreement is delivered. However, shipping notifications can be sent for each purchase order.

Prerequisites

Application

The scheduling agreement contains items confirmed by inventory management (i.e. items which can be delivered).

The scheduling agreement number of the customer is entered as the purchase order number in the scheduling agreement.

The material number of the customer is entered in the scheduling agreement.

Output Control

Maintain the following condition components in the scenario:

Condition component	Value
Access sequence	0005 (sales organization/customer)
Condition	0 (no condition)
"Exclusive"	select
Output type	LAVA (shipping notification outbound)
Procedure	V10000 (shipping output)
Application	V2 (shipping)
Processing subroutine	Program RSNASTED, form routine EDI-PROCESSING
General data	Select Condition access and Multiple sending of output, otherwise leave the fields blank
Time	e.g. 4 (immediately, IDocs are generated immediately after posting)
Transmission medium	6
Partner function	WE
Language	DE (German)

The output determination procedure must be assigned to the document type (delivery type) which is used. This can be done in SD Customizing by selecting Basic functions ® Output control ® Output determination ® Output determination via condition technique ® Maintain message determination for deliveries ® Assign output determination procedure (transaction V/71).

IDoc Interface

You must maintain the following values for both the outbound partner profiles and the additional partner profiles for outbound processing using output control:

Field	Value
Output category	DESADV
Partner type	KU (customer)
Partner function	WE (vendor)
Port	SUBSYSTEM
Output mode	Collect IDocs
Basic type	DELVRY01
Packet size	1
Application	V2 (shipping)
Output type	LAVA
Process code	DELV

Activities

You can post the delivery by selecting Logistics ® Sales and Distribution ® Shipping, Delivery ® Create (transaction VL01). Output control is used to find the condition record and the shipping notification is sent to the customer via EDI (IDoc Interface). The shipping time in the condition record determines when the corresponding outbound IDoc is generated.
