Route relevance for shipment

[Former Member]

Hi! Gurus...

Can we plan a delivery in shipment without maintaining transportation relevance for routes?

I mean just maintain transportation relevance for deliveries and delviery item categories.

I am not able to add a delivery to shipment if I don't maintain transportation relvance for routes.

if this is the case then it totally defeats what SAP allows us to do in shipment ie, allow us to group delvieries that go on different routes and creat a single shipment document.

Please clarify. Maybe I am wrong and I am missing some setting.

Thank you all for inputs.

Hello Keyan,

I am afraid, you cannot add a delivery whose route is not transportation relevant to a shipment. But it does not defeat SAP's purpose to add deliveries for different routes into the same shipments. The concept is that a shipment can only be created if the delivery type, delivery items and the route in the delievery all are relevant for transportation, then only a transportation is planned and executed.

If there is no need for transportation, then we do not need any shipments. Hence all the 3 conditions need to be fulfilled for a shipment to be created (for a delivery).

Hope this clarifies the problem. We can have further discussion if you want.
