The shipping point is the organizational unit,whose employees are responsible for the complete shipping process.

Hi,

In addition to the above,

A delivery is always initiated from exactly one shipping point. Thus, all items of a delivery belong to one shipping point. Groups of deliveries also belong to exactly one shipping point.

The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing depending on the plant, loading group and shipping condition.

The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for lists of deliveries and the work list deliveries.

The shipping point is used as a selection criterion for processing deliveries like printing, picking or goods issue.

Dear Ramya

Shipping points are independent organizational entities within which processing and monitoring of the deliveries as well as goods issue is carried out. A delivery is processed by one shipping point only. It depends on the shipping condition and the loading condition. In fact, your Loading Time is also determined from Shipping Point.
