| # Shipment Building Based on Delivery Points Shipment building is the process that automatically creates shipments based on (picked) outbound advices. The value of the delivery point is passed from Order Management to Warehouse Management by the Delivery Point field in the Sales Schedule Lines (tdsls3107m000) session. The delivery point is passed to the warehouse order outbound line when a schedule line is transferred to Warehouse Management. The existing shipment building criteria are: Ship-from Type, Ship-from Code, Ship-from Address Ship-to Type, Ship-to Code, Ship-to Address Planned for Load Plan (Y/N) Manual Shipment (Y/N) Office Office Company Route Terms of Delivery Point of Title Passage Motive of Transport Carrier Planned Delivery Date Delivery Point Shipment Reference Originally, in ERP LN, the ship-to business partner and related ship-to address is the most detailed level at which the destination of goods is defined. However, often the premises of customers / Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) are huge and goods can be received at multiple delivery points. For efficient goods handling, the supplier / shipping company must know the specific delivery point at which the goods must be unloaded. This objective is achieved by adding delivery points to delivery addresses and including them as shipment building criteria. ERP LN groups the outbound advices that have the same Delivery Point as shipment lines in one shipment. You can use the Single Delivery Point per Shipment check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session to group the shipment lines by delivery points during shipment building. If this check box is selected, ERP LN groups the outbound lines in the following manner : Outbound lines that have the same delivery point are put on the same shipment, as shipment lines, provided other shipment building criteria allow this. Otherwise, outbound lines are put as shipment lines on separate shipments. This effectively means that the creation of multiple shipments for the same delivery point is permitted in specific cases. Outbound Lines that have different delivery points are put on different shipments. The following example explains the scenario in which shipments are created based on delivery points:
Order | Position | Ship-to BP | Delivery Point | Shipment
SSC000123 | 10 | VW | Dock A | SHP000234
SSC000123 | 20 | VW | Dock B | SHP000235
SSC000124 | 10 | Opel | Dock A | SHP000236
SSC000125 | 10 | VW | Dock A | SHP000234
SSC000126 | 10 | Opel |  | SHP000237
Freight Management Integration In case a delivery point is present on an outbound order line and the Single Delivery Point per Shipment check box in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session is selected, the delivery point is passed to the corresponding freight order (if Freight Management is implemented). The Single Delivery Point per Shipment check box cannot be modified in Freight Management. In other words, Freight Management load building always follows the shipment building instructions from Warehouse Management. This implies that the planning engine in Freight Management builds separate shipments per delivery point instead of per delivery address, which may result in multiple shipments per unloading address within one load.
