Shipping type
The shipping type provides information about how the order is to be delivered,
for instance, by truck, rail, ship, or plane. The shipping type is required later on
during transport creation and route determination.
SpecProcID
The special processing indicator flag causes special handling of the order with
regard to transport and the later shipping cost calculation.
POD-relevant
If you set this flag, the ship-to party must confirm reception of the goods. The standard
order cannot be invoiced before this confirmation has been made. These confirmations
are usually performed via Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) messages.
You can find further information relevant to shipping and transportation in the
Partners and Texts tabs. The Partners tab contains primarily the sold-to party,
the ship-to party, and the bill-to party. If you have agreed to further partner functions
in Customizing, they will be displayed here as well. If you want to describe
the delivery conditions in more detail or inform the employees in Shipping or in
the warehouse of special shipping instructions, you must enter these under the
Shipping instructions text type.
Shipping-Specific Data in the Order Item
Shipping-relevant information is available not only in the order header, but also in
the item itself. Have a look at the item in the sample order (see Figure 4.10). You
find, in part, the same information at item level that you were already introduced
to at header level.
