Definition

The physical location (for example, a warehouse or collection of loading ramps) from which you ship the item.

Use

You can predefine shipping/receiving points in the system, based on different combinations of

During delivery processing, the shipping/receiving point is the most important criterion that you use to select deliveries.

A delivery can be shipped from one shipping point only or received at one receiving point only.

If you want to provide more detailed information about a shipping point you can specify a loading point (for example, one of a number of different loading ramps).

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

The system can propose a shipping/receiving point. If valid alternatives are predefined in your system, you can change the shipping/receiving point manually.

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