Shipment completion
Drivers have to be provided with all delivery notes for the implementation of
shipment. The shipment completion date provides information about when the
delivery notes are supposed to be handed over to the driver.
Shipment start
The shipment start date indicates when the truck is supposed to leave the delivering
plant.
Shipment end
The shipment end date is the requested delivery date of the customer, that is,
when the truck is supposed to arrive at the customer in order to enable on-time
receipt of goods.
You can now implement your shipping scheduling manually or view the values
from the delivery documents. For this purpose, SAP software provides a specific
copy routine that must be defined in Customizing at the shipment type level. For
this purpose, set copy routine, „8“ (see Figure 12.35).
Figure 12.35 Setting Copy Routine for Dates of Each Shipment Type
This SAP copy routine sets planned shipping dates according to the following three
rules:
1. The earliest loading date from the delivery documents is transferred to check-in
and loading start.
2. The last planned goods issue date is transferred to loading end, shipment completion,
and shipment start.
3. The last delivery date is transferred to shipment end.
Additionally, you can also define your own copy routines (as a kind of user exit).
To do this, in the maintenance screen you have to add a new copy routine to the
shipment types. Click on the button (see Figure 12.35). The form routines
already defined (copy routines) are displayed. Select your own routine by entering
a new number between 500 and 999. In form routine FV56Cnnn (nnn stands for
the number selected for this form routine), program your own copy algorithms.
