How to determine the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?

[Piyush]

Dear All,

I am trying to use the functionality Transportation and Shipment Scheduling in GATP.

I would like to know that how the sytem determines the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?

As the Transportation & Shipment Scheduling functionality can be extended further by using the configurable process to overcome the complex scenario. But it needs that process alias should not be determined by using the condition technique.

Moreover, is it possible to use both functionality simultaneously in the system. i.e. Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using condition technique and Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using configurable process?

Thanks & Regards

Hi Piyush,

I have added a small overview in the SCN WIKI which shows you the two ways for the process alias determination and also here as attachment:

Yes, depending on your customizing you can use both scheduling methods in parallel. e.g. you activate CPS just for a specific ITEM category or product and/or customer and/or....what ever you want.

Hello Michael,

I come back to one of your previous post. Do you know if the CPS can be used with STO item category or not?

Thanks for your advice!

Hi JP,

Sorry, thats a missing functionality in case of STOs. Right now, you can just use the item category of sales documents for the process alias. It is hardcoded that the system is checking the value of field "PSTYV" in th field catalogue.
The item category of the STO is not known during GATP check and it has a different field name "ITM_TYPE".

I can just recommend to raise a new incident at SAP and asking for this functionality.

Hi Micahel,

Thanks for your answer and advice. I finally decided to use the Standard condition technique for STOs and the CPS for the Sales Order based on Item category. A lot  of things can be done with the CPS but it's a pitty that no Upload program exist for CPS conditions.. We are currenly searching a Z solution.

Kind regards,

JP
