Calculation Basis 3. Condition Record 4. Access sequence. Step 1. Create Delivery Document. TCode: VL01N With reference the sales order create a delivery using TCode - VL01N and pick the goods.

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. Step 3. Creating Shipment Cost Document & Cost Settlement. TCode: VI01 (SAP Easy Access - Logistics - Logistic Execution - Transportation - Shipment cost - Create - Single document After creation of shipment cost doc.

Generally process is 1) VL01N 2) VT01 3) VL02N - PGI 4) VI01 5) ML81N - Service Entry Sheet 6) MIRO - Invoice Verification. Diagrammatic Representation of SD Transportation Process Flow. 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.
