Transportation Management with SAP LES

Master Data
You can create texts for the individual process steps. These texts are intended to
record special requirements in the process for a particular customer. The texts can
be printed on shipping documents or invoices, or they can be for internal use only
in your company. Figure 3.12 illustrates the texts that are available by default in
the SAP system.
Figure 3.12 Texts in the Customer Master File
The Shipping instructions and Selection for shipping texts have been set up
specifically for shipping and transportation processes. You can define additional
text types in Customizing.
The Shipping instructions text type, for example, might contain a note specifying that
the customer can only accept deliveries by trucks with a maximum clearance of 2.80 m
(the gate height).
3.3 Vendor Master File
The vendor master file is less important for shipping and transportation processes.
However, if you use shipping companies in the SAP system, you need a vendor
master record.
The shipping company is a service provider and therefore has to be created as
a vendor. In the standard SAP system, a separate account group (Account group
0005) has been set up, in which you can create your data, as seen in Figure 3.13.
