shipping point determination based on item category

[peng_tang]

Dear

we have a requirment which needs to determine shipping point based on item category. anyone could share how to achieve that? I am familiar with sap standard shipping determination rule: shipping condition in sold-to-party MMD or shipping condition within sale document type + loading group + delivery plant. However those condtions wouldnt fullfill our needs. the items within a sales order are exactly same except item category, such as item 10 is TAN , item 20 is TAB item.I want the system get different shipping point for those two different item category.

any though would be appreciated and thank you,

best regards

Hi,

    Based your depiction, I think you should consider why shipping point must be divided by item category? Why it can not be determined by loading group which is allocated in material master. I think loading group can solve your problem.

    If you insist your thought, maybe you can try the user-exit in SAPMV45A. But first you should allocate both shipping point to the standard procedure.

Hi,

    you can try MV45AFZZ    USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_VBAP

As already suggested, you can consider going with differentiating the Loading Group in material master, so that via standard configuration itself, you can achieve the desired result.  On the other hand, if this is not possible, then, you can try with USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIPS in include MV50AFZ1

G. Lakshmipathi,

The initial requirement was to have the same material in the sales order, and by changing the item category the shipping point should change accordingly.

So, if the material is not changed (with the same plant), the loading group can not be a solution.

hi,

In Sales Order you can maintian it by ABAP development for Screen varient. As per per item category shipping point shuold be select.

but material must be extend under plant and shipping point related General Item Category Group & Item category group wise.

thanks

peng,

Please explain why client wants shipping point determination based on item category?

Any other parameters to be taken in shipping point determination? e.g. plant, loading group, shipping condition too, in addition item category?

Thanks!

Hi TW

client wants to put both TAB and TAN items in the same SO. However, if TAN items, delivery note should be created by department A; if TAB items, delivery notes should be created by department B. if using VL10A to generate delivery notes in background, system cant restrict the responsibility.

do you see any other options to meet this requirment?

Thanks!

peng,

I think you should change the department and not the shipping point.

As wayne wu suggested you can go for that userexit - create a table with fields/columns item category and department.

Take into analysis if different sales organizations / company codes, use the same item category, do you need to add other columns in the table. (e.g. sales org etc)

If you can restrict the item category in the sales document, say use sales order type ZTAB only for item category TAB, you can determine different shipping points.

Check the following IMG:

SPRO -> LE -> Shipping -> Basic Shipping Functions -> Shipping Point and GR point det. -> define shipping conditions by sales doc
