Hi,

Transportation Planning

Purpose

Transportation Planning is part of the Transportation Planning and Vehicle Scheduling (TP/VS) component. It enables the transportation planner to optimally use the available capacity of trucks, trains, ships, and airplanes with the goals of planning more efficient loading capacity and lowering costs, since most customers depend completely on external transportation companies nowadays for optimum transportation (which means deliveries that are on time and cost saving).

Integration

The APO System includes the tactical and operative planning areas of SAP Transportation Management, which is enhanced by the SAP Logistics Execution Systems (LES) area for transportation.

Features

The TP/VS component contains the following functions:

• Transportation planning and transportation consolidation

• Vehicle scheduling and route determination in a dynamic environment

• Transportation mode and selection of carrier

• Multi-pick and multi-drop functions

• Management by exception

Shipping

As soon as the material availability date or the transportation scheduling date for a schedule line is reached, the schedule line becomes due for shipping. When you create an outbound delivery, you initiate shipping activities such as picking and transportation scheduling.

A delivery is processed through one shipping point. Which shipping point carries out the processing for a delivery can be determined automatically during order processing or you can specify it manually in the order.

Process Flow

The system carries out the following activities when an outbound delivery is created:

• Checks the order and materials to make sure the outbound delivery is possible (for example, it checks for delivery blocks or incompleteness)

• Determines the delivery quantity of an item and checks the availability of the material

• Calculates the weight and volume of the delivery

• Calculates work expenditure

• Packs the outbound delivery according to the reference order

• Checks the delivery situation of the order and any partial delivery agreements

• Redetermines the route

• Adds information relevant for export

• Checks delivery scheduling and changes deadlines (if necessary)

• Assigns a picking location

• Carries out batch determination (if material is to be handled in batches)

• Creates an inspection lot if the material must pass a quality check

• Updates sales order data and changes order status

You can make changes in a delivery after it is created if the delivery situation changes in any way. In addition, you can confirm picked quantities using the change function, or use the display function to access shipping information in a delivery.

Order items or schedule lines that have identical shipping criteria are combined in one delivery. If data varies between items, for example, if a different ship-to party is defined for each item, two deliveries must be created for the order. Order items from different orders can be grouped together in one delivery provided that they have identical shipping criteria and that the sold-to party agrees

IF It helps reward points

Hi Divya,

Create Shipment Document

Use

After the status of the delivery is open for transportation planning, it is possible to create a shipment document to schedule the transportation.

Logistics  Logistic Execution  Transportation Transportation Planning  Create  Single document

T.code: VT01n

Enter your transportation planning point and shipment type. Press enter.

Creating the shipment cost document

Use

After the deliveries are scheduled by shipment and the shipment is executed, now it is time to maintain and close the shipment document in order to record all relative information and ready for the shipment cost settlement.

Logistics  Logistic Execution  Transportation Shipment cost  Create  Single document

T.code: VI01.

After creation of shipment cost doc. You settle the Shipment cost.

Go to VI02, enter shipment cost no.and press enter.

Then go to Overview -- Fright cost items, Select hte line item and double click it.

Go as main menu: Itme --> Acc. assignment, You enter G/L acc. and cost center to which the transportation cost will be posted.

On the Standard change, details – Freight cost items screen, then check the check box “Transfer”, which means you will transfer the relative transportation cost to FI/CO, in this case, the system should determined which Purchase Order will used to settle the cost, so after you check the “Transfer” check box.

Press save button on the current screen.

Shipment cost settlement and documents:

Use

After the shipment cost settled in shipment cost document, it has the following affects:

It creates a service entry sheet that refers to the purchase order determined.

It posts acceptance of services performed.

It creates an accounting document for the accruals.

Further subsequent documents are created in FI.

Reward points if it helpful

Dear Divya,

Please go through this document it will help you

1) Maintain transportation planning point through Menu as follows:

IMG Maintain Logistic Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure  transportation planning point.

Create your own like BP01 enter the general data¡¯s required

2) Defining modes of transport:

IMG RoutesBasic Transportation Functions  Transportation Logistic Execution Define modes of transportDefine routes

Use the standard like:

Shipping type: 01

Description: Road

3) Define shipping types :

Basic Transportation Transportation Logistic ExecutionIMG Define shipping types Route Functions

Or through T-code: SM30

PT: 01

Description: Truck

Mdtr: 01

STPG: 0001

4) Define transportation connecting point :

LogisticIMG DefineRoutes  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation Execution Define transportation connection pointsroutes

Copy the std point and make it FB01 as departure zone and FB02 as destination zone

5) Define routes and stages.

 Logistic Execution IMG Define Define routes Routes  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation routes and stages

Use the standard route and copy it as FB0001 and enter the departure zone and destination as what we created.

6) Defining Transportation Zone:

Basic Transportation Logistic Execution IMG Define transportation Router determination  Route Transportation Functions zones

Use the standard transportation zone depending on the route so as for the example use 0000000003 - Southern Region

7) Maintain country or transportation zone for shipping points

 Logistic Execution IMG  Route determination  Route  Basic Transportation Functions Transportation Maintain country and transportation zone for shipping point

Shipping point be ASH1 and route as 0000000003 which is assigned to country India

😎 Maintain route determination:

Logistic ExecutionIMG Route determination Route  Basic Transportation Functions  Transportation  Maintain route determination

Country of departure: India

Departure Zone: 0000000003

Country of destination: India

Destination Zone: 0000000003

And enter the data’s needed like shipping condition 01, etc.

Maintain Transportation relevance for shipping point, sales document type and delivery types.

9) Now create shipping types

IMG Define shipment Shipments  Transportation Logistic Execution types

Copy the standard 0001 and make it to AFIL

10) Define and assign traffic zones through T-Code: T_76 (or) thru menu as follows

IMG Define Basic functions  Shipments cost  Transportation Logistic Execution and assign tariff zones

Copy the standard and make it to FABTARIFF and assign our transportation planning point as ATP1, ATP2 assign tariff zone to every particular transportation planning point

11) Define and assign pricing procedures

Shipments Transportation  Logistic Execution IMG define and assign pricing Price control  Pricing cost procedures

Copy the standard shipping cost pricing procedure SDFC00 to FBSC01

12) Assign purchasing data:

 Logistic Execution IMG Assign purchasing data Settlement  Shipments cost Transportation

13) Assign transportation planning point to shipping condition, purchase organization, purchasing group and to plants.

14) Define Automatic G/L account determination:

 Transportation  Logistics Execution IMG Automatic G/L Account Determination Settlement Shipment Costs

Or through T-code: OMWB

Use G/L account 614000 as used in standard

15) Automatic determination of CO assignments:

IMG Automatic Settlement  Shipment Costs  Transportation Logistics Execution Determination of CO Assignments

Or T-code: OKB9

16) Maintain shipping point address.

 Logistics Execution  Definition Enterprise Structure Define, copy, delete, check shipping point

17) Creating G/L account centrally.

Financial AccountingAccounting  Master Records  General Ledger 

Individual Processing Centrally

Or through T-Code: FS00

18) Enter the G/L account 614000 to the company code AFIL

19) Create transportation condition records:

 Shipment cost  Transportation  Master data Logistic Execution createPrices

Or thru T-code: TK11

Enter condition type FB00 that is freight condition type, which is used as standard in the shipping cost pricing procedure.

Enter the price and save it

Process:

1. The system determines the pricing procedure for the shipment cost item-using transportation planning point, service agent and shipment cost item category

2. Calculation Basis

3. Condition Record

4. Access sequence.

For the sales order, create a delivery using VL01N and pick the goods. Now create a shipment using VT01N and assign the delivery to the shipment document. Make sure to enter the carrier and other details before performing the transportation planning and execution. Save the shipment document and PGI for the delivery would be done automatically.

A shipment represents a physical goods movement between two or more locations.

For the system to create a shipment, shipping-relevant deliveries must exist.

You use Transportation Planning to group pending deliveries into shipments and then to perform the shipments.

The outbound delivery documents contain routes that the system calculates in route determination, and a transportation planning date for the delivery.

Dynamic transportation planning is responsible for grouping together outbound deliveries into shipments that have at least the same route, visit plan type and the same transportation planning date.

The following restrictions can be taken into account for a shipment in Dynamic Transportation Planning:

• Weight

• Volume

• Variable capacity

• Number of stops

• Maximum duration

• Loading units

Generally process is-

1) VL01N

2) VT01

3) VL02N - PGI

4) VI01

5) ML81N – Service Entry Sheet

6) MIRO – Invoice Verification

Shipping docs (VT01) are created before PGI...

You cannot carry out transportation planning or creation of shipment after the goods issue has been executed. Once goods issue is done it means that the material has left your premises so there is no need for a transportation planning after it.

In case you need carry out the shipment documents at the end of the day you could just create the delivery documents during the day and at end of the day create the shipment documents and the goods issue
