Transportation Management with SAP LES

Introduction 1
ferent options for creating delivery documents. In this chapter, you will also learn
which requirements and conditions apply to copying data from the preliminary
document (copy control), which roles the shipping point, the route, and the goods
receiving points play in the delivery document and how they can be determined
automatically, what you should know about the availability check as far as your
activities are concerned, and how delivery aggregation and delivery split work.
In Chapter 6, Other Functions in Delivery Documents, you will learn about additional
functions and processes related to delivery documents. I will describe how
you can determine and monitor dates, and will explain how you can block downstream
processes by an automatic incompleteness check. Another important topic
is partner determination in the supply chain. You get to know how you can handle
texts in the delivery document and how to use and find the various text types and
important export data in the delivery document. I will also cover the comprehensive
topic of batch determination, and describe all of the settings and processes of
batch determination. You will also learn how to handle serial numbers. The last
section deals with the registration of means of transportation (such as trucks) when
they enter or leave your premises.
Chapter 7, Picking, covers the first process as part of the shipping activities. After
creating the delivery document, which forms the basis for all subsequent processes,
the ordered materials can be picked. The individual items are withdrawn
from stock and taken to loading once they are ready to be shipped. This process
is called picking. The SAP system offers three options for this: picking using a
Warehouse Management (WM) system, a lean WM system, or only LES. We will
describe the customizing settings, the data required for this process and how you
can find them, the process of lean WM, and picking using LES only. We will also
cover how you can print pick lists (lean WM uses its own printing process), how
you can enter picked quantities, and how you can confirm quantities.
Chapter 8, Packing, deals with all activities involving packing data. Many customers
require your enterprise to transfer packing data to optimize goods receipt.
This can be done in written form (printing packing lists) or in Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI) form (sending EDI messages). You therefore have to pack the
ordered materials and enter the packing data in the delivery document. I will first
describe the basic conditions that have to be met in the master data for packing to
be performed using the delivery document. Next, I will explain variants of packing
manually and what settings to use when you keep stock of your packing materials.
Finally, I will describe the requirements and settings to use if you want to store
