what is a shipping condition in customer master?

[Former Member]

Kindly give some info about the shipping condition which we use for shipping point determination. Where and how it is configured in customer master?

[Former Member · Accepted solution]

shipping conditions:-

For example, it might have been agreed with the customer that the goods are to be

delivered as soon as possible.Thus 'How are the goods being shipped?'

<a href="http://i164.photobucket.com/albums/u40/a_la_bakwaas/1.jpg">On the basis of shipping condition 01</a>, the loading group CRANE and the plant 0001, the system

determines shipping point 0001 for the item. Instead of this shipping point, you can also select

shipping points 0002 and 0003 if, for example, you know that shipping point 0001 is out of

operation or does not have the capacity to deal with the item at the time when delivery is to take place.

The Why:-

Criteria for <b>Route Proposal</b> in the Sales Order

Determining the route in the sales order depends

on the following factors:

Country and departure zone of the shipping point

<b>Shipping condition</b> from the sales order

For example, it might have been agreed with the customer that the goods are to be delivered as soon as possible.

Transportation group from the material master record (Sales/Plant Data screen) You can use the transportation group to group together goods with the same

characteristics (for example, bulky goods or goods that must be transported in refrigerated trucks).

Country and transportation zone of the ship-to party (Control screen in the customer master

record)

and the <b>configuration requirements</b> involved are as follows :-

you have to maintain the shipping conditions in the Customer master record under 'Shipping'["sales area data" tab],shipping point etc.

also

Please maintain the appropriate shipping points for the combination of Shipping Conditions + Loading Group + Plant in the T-code: OVL2

&

for defining a different shipping condition--> go to Tcode OVL3 i.e picking location determination then have different determinations i.e same Shipping Point+ Same Plant+ Different Shipping Conditions+Different Storage Location.

and

SPRO --> Logistics Execution --> Shipping --> Basic Shipping Functions --> Shipping Point and Goods Receiving Point Determination --> Assign Shipping Points

Shipping Condition (from Sales Order Type or Customer Master data) + Loading Group (from Material Master) + Delivering Plant (from Customer Material Info or Customer Master Data or Material master data) = Shipping Point

hope this helps.
