13.2.3 Leg Determination via the Route
Some customers generally process the materials via load transfer points. Some
large DIY stores and retail chains have specific points which are used for delivery,
so-called load transfer points. But there are also transports that are always processed
using the same border post. For you, the delivery ends at cross-docking
stations, your customer is responsible for further distribution. The ship-to party
is the end user that also accepts the goods. The cross-docking station can also be
defined via the route.
If your customers use their own shipment processing, assign a defined transportation
zone to these customers so that the respective “specific route” can be found
(see Section 5.6). For the specific route, define an end point, border point, or similar
point. Process these special cases additionally via a defined shipment type so
that you can make the respective settings for stage determination (leg determination
category, “Blank” or “0”). An example illustrates this situation.
1. I defined a new transportation zone: “OGDEUP0001” named “Transport connection
point Augsburg.”
2. I add the transportation zone to the customer master record of a customer in
Ingolstadt (see Figure 13.28).
3. Now, I define a transport connection point (Transaction 0VTD or via the path
Logistics Execution • Shipping • Basic Shipping Functions • Routes •
Define Routes • Define Transportation Connection Points in Customizing).
This is a load transfer point. As the reference address, I entered the same customer
with the branch in Augsburg. I only use this customer as reference for
the address data (see Figure 13.29).
