Delivery Documents
User Exit
The include module MV50AFZ1 provides a user exit in which you can, at certain times,
copy or determine your own and standard SAP fields in the delivery document via your
own solutions. Header fields are filled in form routine USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_
LIKP, and fields in the delivery item in form routine USEREXIT_MOVE_FIELD_TO_LIPS.
However, you must take special care with standard SAP fields. If these fields depend on
other processes in the delivery document (on the storage location determination, for
example), then you must ensure that the change or field determination executed is run
through the program process, which would also be run if you entered this field manually
in the delivery document.
The last method to manipulate fields is provided by the two form routines, USEREXIT_
SAVE_DOCUMENT_PREPARE and USEREXIT_SAVE_DOCUMENT. These are user exits
that have already survived many release changes. You will find the newest user exits in
the business add-on, LE_SHP_DELIVERY_PROC.
5.5 Shipping Point
As you have already learned in Section 2.1.5, the shipping point is an organizational
unit via which the entire shipping transaction takes place. This shipping
transaction includes the creation of delivery documents, the monitoring, planning,
and grouping of different deliveries into shipments and, finally, the proper execution
of goods issue posting.
A complete delivery document belongs to only one shipping point. This shipping
point is determined automatically with the order entry for each item. This creates the
basis for selecting all of the orders awaiting delivery for a particular shipping point.
To explain the shipping point determination step by step, I will again use the example
from the beverages industry (see Figure 5.52). In company code OG01 (Weizen brewery
in Munich), two plants are specified: OGB1 (the Weizen brewery in Munich) and OGBA
(accessories: souvenirs, clothing, etc.). The Weizen brewery has a total of two storage
locations: OGRW (the raw materials warehouse for production) and OGVW (the shipping
warehouse for the brewed beer). The accessories are located in shipping storage
location OGVA.
In total, there are three shipping points in this example: the beverage trucks are loaded
by forklifts at the OGM1 shipping point. For larger festivals (e.g., the Oktoberfest) the
beer is filled in a tank (approx. 120,000 liters), which is firmly secured to the truck. This
is a filling facility (also called a beer drive), defined as shipping point OGM2. All accessories
are delivered from the OGMA shipping point.
