Master Data
In the Unloading points tab, you can enter one or more goods receiving points
and goods receiving hours for your ship-to party. The goods receiving point can
be a gate, a loading bay, or a specific building. You can then define one or more
subordinate receiving points (for example, loading bays or gates) for this main
goods receiving point (such as for larger buildings), and one or more departments
for the individual subordinate receiving points. You have to check if it makes sense
in your company to subdivide the goods recipient down to this level of detail, or
if you can use the standard values (for example, gate 1, gate 2, etc., as the main
goods receiving point). See Figure 3.10 for a simple example.

is, opening hours, which are considered for freight scheduling. If you use exact
freight scheduling, you have to assign a factory calendar to the goods receiving
points.

maintained in the sales area data. Sales area data can be maintained using the following
four tabs: Sales, Shipping, Billing document, and Partner functions (see
