Example

If, for example, you want to ship refrigerated goods to a certain customer by rail, the system proposes a shipping point with a suitable location and equipment for loading refrigerated goods onto rail cars.

Procedure

You can define a user-specific default value for the shipping point in the user parameter VST.
