Basic knowledge of SAP SD order shipping related functions I
First, determine shipping point Shipping Point Determination
Each order line item will determine a shipping point; the system will automatically bring out a shipping point, you can change within a limited range.
Shipping point depends on a combination of three elements: delivery plant / shipping condition / loading group.
1) Each order line item identified Delivering Plant (from the customer - material information record, ship-to party record, or material master records).
2) Shipping requirements (e.g., delivery) included in the shipping conditions field. If the sales document type is assigned a shipping condition, with shipping condition from the sales document type, or with a master record from the sold-to party.
3) the necessary loading facility (load group) contained in the material master record Loading Group field;
Shipping point to determine a configuration of the implement,
An outbound deliver always made a shipping point processing, business people can not modify the shipping point outbound delivery. As illustrated, shipping point appears in the data delivery in the header,
When an order delivered by the shipping point processing, the system copies only for the order line item shipping point defined in the outbound delivery, therefore, have different shipping point of order items will not copy the same piece of outbound delivery.
二，路线定义Route Definition
Route定义了发货的路线以及其他的因素，例如运输方式和运输服务代理商。一条路线可由许多阶段（stages）组成，一个阶段可以是a leg, a load transfer point, or a border-crossing point。我们必须定义legs以及load transfer points和border-crossing points的起点和终点作为运输连接点（transportation connection point）。我们可以定义任何的location作为运输连接点，当然了我们也能够引用客户，供应商或者特殊的组织单元如shipping point或者plant。
为了shipping的目的，可能使用不是由stages组成的routes就足够了，在这种情况下，我们可以使用目的区域作为route的名字；但是我们应该指定transit and transportation lead times因为这些时间用于制定运输计划。
Route可用作delivering process的选择标准（selection criterion）。SAP系统中，route也是运输和对外贸易必须的，在这些情况下，我们可能需要维护额外的数据。
三，路线决定Route Determination
路线决定在订单行项目上执行并且依赖于：
Shipping point的国家和启程地域（departure zone）（配置中分配）；
Sales document type中定义或sold-to party中输入的shipping condition；
分配给物料的transportation group；
Ship-to party的国家和运输区域（transportation zone）（客户主记录中分配）；
关于Route Determination的配置，如下路径，
业务人员可以手动修改订单行项目中决定的route。
业务人员可以基于重量（weight）在outbound delivery中重新决定route，是否重新决定route依赖于delivery type的配置。相关delivery type的配置界面里，字段'Route Determine.'的值，可以决定业务人员是否可以在Delivery里重新确定Route,如下图示：
