Hi Venkat

Definition

Link between a point of departure and a destination. The route is the path that a shipment travels. Each shipment has only one route.

Use

The shipment can contain the route as information in the transport header. The route can be copied from the deliveries or manually entered/overwritten.

Integration

The system can automatically determine a route for each item during order entry. If visit lists/plans underlie order entry the system uses the routes from the visit lists/plans. If no visit lists/plans exist, the system performs standard route determination. The following criteria affect route determination in an order:

· Country and transportation zone of the shipping point (departure zone)

· Shipping condition

· Transportation group of the material

· Country and transportation zone of the ship-to party

If the system is to perform standard route determination in the delivery again, it also takes into account the weight group (weight of entire delivery). The system saves the delivery route in the delivery header. As it is saved in the document header the route applies to the whole delivery.

Hi Raju,

SAP System determines routes automatically for each sales document item. It determines the itinerary and mode of transport in shipping.

Routes are determined depending on the following criteria:

Country and departure zone (departure zone of the shipping point)

Shipping conditions agreed in the sales order

The shipping condition is defined in shipping point determination.

Transportation group of the material

Country and transportation zone (receiving zone) of the ship-to party

The SAP System copies the route from the sales document item into the delivery at header level.

Check this link too.

Hi Venkat

The SAP System determines routes automatically for each sales document item. It determines the itinerary and mode of transport in shipping.

Routes are determined depending on the following criteria:

· Country and departure zone (departure zone of the shipping point)

· Shipping conditions agreed in the sales order

The shipping condition is defined in shipping point determination.

· Transportation group of the material

· Country and transportation zone (receiving zone) of the ship-to party

The SAP System copies the route from the sales document item into the delivery at header level.

To define route determination, you must edit the following points:

· Define transportation zones for each country. These transportation zones can be either departure zones for the shipping point or receiving zones for the ship-to party.

· Assign the departure zones to the shipping points.

· Define transportation groups for the materials.

· Specify the routes to be selected according to the given criteria in sales processing.

· Define the delivery types for which route determination should be repeated and set the necessary indicator in the appropriate delivery types.

· Define the weight groups.

Note

Route determination can be repeated by the SAP System when creating a delivery. Delivery types, for which route determination is to be repeated, should be marked as such in their definition. In this case, route determination is carried out depending on weight. The route applies to the entire delivery.

Hi,

It will determine the best possible way of despatching the material at an efficient time and low cost if the route determination is used in the project. Here we can track the distance b/w the source and destination point.

Reward points if it helps.
