Route determination in Outbound delivery

[Former Member]

Hi Friends,

After STO is done i made an Outbound delivery for that STO. Is it possible to determine the route for the outbound delivery?

What is the significance of Route and Route Schedule in Transport Tab of Outbound delivery?

Please some one explain the route determination in Logistics execution master data and also what are all things i should define for route determination for outbound delivery?

Thanks in advance...I'm ready to provide more info on this.

Regards,

Arasu

If you determine route in PO then system automatically brings the same route in Delivery.Mainly route is configured for transportation planning.It is not possible to create Shipment with out delivery route.The route determinations depends on receiving and supplying shipping points and transportation group & shipping conditions.

could you explain in detail how route is selected in STO. so far i have seen a Transport Tab in outbound delivery.

I am very new to SAP...

STO>OUtbound delivery->Proforma Invoice--->Inbound delivery....this is the flow our company is using...If route can be populated in STO it will be very useful.

send me any documents if you have any...

Thanks

hi

You can define routes in Logistics execution > Transportation. There are two ways to determine route in STO. One is manually enter route in STO and 2ndly is automatic determination. Automatic is recommended when there are big shipments. Automatic route determination is based on Shipping point, shipping conditions, ship to party. I recommend you to use manual entery route in STO. You can also calculate freight and shipping costs by using transportation in logistics execution.

Check the following links. You will find helpful material in these links. I am also configuring transportation in SD module. Transportation is done for both STO and Sales order.
