Q

Defining delivery item category determination

A

If order item or schedule line is copied into a delivery, Item category used in sales order is copied to delivery

Items not copied from orders in the delivery, item category is determined by the delivery item category determination table which calculates as such, delivery type + item category group of the material + usage of item + item category of the higher level item

If item category is copied from sales order, a schedule line category must still be maintained for system to propose the correct goods movement type, and subsequent financial postings for the goods movement

Some contries don’t allow one sales order to be split among many deliveries nor many orders in one delivery

40
Q

Shipping point determination

A

Independent organizational units that are linked to a plant and represent the point of dparture or receipt of materials

Plant can have many shipping points

Delivery is created from one sole shipping point

41

A

Location from which a delivery orignates

Can be a phsyical or systemic location

No delivery can be made without a shipping point

Picking is always carried out from a particular storage location.

47
Q

Picking Item Categories

A

You indicate which item categories are relevant for picking when defining the deliery item category or in picking

48
Q

Interface with warehouse management

A

If a warehouse in SAP has been defiend and assigned a storage location and you use this storage location in a delivery, you must use warehouse management to do the picking

Should picking be done using warehouse management, once the delivery is created, you need to create a transfer order.

49
Q

Warehouse management placing goods process

A
  1. Process for placing goods
  2. Goods are received into the interim storage area for goods receipts
  3. Transfer order is created in WM to move goods into the warehouse (tells staff where to put goods)
  4. Once goods place in correct location, transfer order is confirmed, which tells SAP that the goods have been moved out of the interim storage area
50
Q

Warehouse management extracting goods process

A
  1. Create transfer order
  2. SAP will choose stock from the warehouse to be delivered (choice based on a number of inventory methods such as LIFO (last in, first out) and FIFO (first in, first out) )
  3. Transfer order instructs warehouse staff where to get stock and to deliver it to the interim storage area for goods issues.
  4. Once all stock has been picked, transfer order is confirmed, which informs system that stock has been taken out of the warehouse and made available for loading

If you created the transfer order from a sales delivery, SAP will confirm that the delivery has been picked when you confirm that you have fulfilled the stock quanitity in the transfer order

51
Q

Determining Storage/Picking Locations

A

Picking location, an area in which all picking is carried out in the same manner. Copied into the delivery header data.

Storage condition refers to the storage of the material in the plant or warehouse. Found on the plant data/warehouse 1 of the material master record.

Storage condition field + plant + shipping point = storage location determination

Picking location carried out from storage location

52
Q

Backward and Forward Scheduling

A

Backwards scheduling. process of scheduling the business process from the requsted delivery date backward in order to meet a specified delivery date

If system finds that materials will not be available until later date after order, system carries out forward scheduling.

Forward scheduling, projecting the earliest possible delivery date based on the scheduling of the business processes from the material availability date forward.\

53
Q

Scheduling Times

A

Transit time, time it takes for movement of materials to customer’s site, point a to point b

Transportation lead time, time taken to schedule the containers, shipping companies, etc to move materials

Shipping point and loading group used to determine loading time

Route is used to determine the transportation lead time and transit time for transportation scheduling

54
Q

Delivery Blocks

A

Block the delivery from being created, and can lock available stock from being assigned to a sales document

55
Q

Blocking reasons

A

Shipping or delivery blocks are commonly used and may be manually entered or automatically proposed in the sales order and delivery documents

  • The weight group
68
Q

A

A country is divided into transport zones. A customer exists in a transport zone and so does a shipping point.

SAP determines the route for moving from a shipping point in one zone to the customer in the other zone.

Country key, determines what departure zones are allowed to select from

Transportation group is a pre-req for the determination of the route (should be a mandatory field for the material master record)

69
Q

Shipping Conditions

A

Held on the customer master record

Used to define the route determination as well as used in determining the shipping point

70
Q

Shipping weight groups

A

Used to refeine the route determination in the delivery

Some routes are more expensive based on the weight and method of transportation

71
Q

Posting Goods Issue in the Delivery

A

Causes the goods to be transferred into the hands of the carrier.
