Route Determination in SAP

Filed under: Sale and Distribution 


The route is the transport channel of an outbound delivery from the delivering plant to the ship-to party. It can consist of more than one section and has a beginning point and an end point.

This route can be used to define the actual transit time (period in which the goods are being transported) and the lead time for transportation planning. The route is normally determined for each document item in the sales document. The automatic default value can be changed manually at a later date, if you wish to have alternative routes.

Determining the Rote Automatically

The SAP system tries to determine a route for every item to be delivered. The SAP system uses four separate points as search keys for determining the route automatically Normally this data is defined in master records and in Customizing:

• the departure zone in Customizing for the shipping point
• the shipping condition in the sales and distribution-specific data for the sold-to party (View: Shipping)
• the transportation group in the sales and distribution-specific data for the material (View: SD: General/Plant)
• the transportation zone in the ship-to party general data

Route is determined automatically in the sales order based on:

  1. Departure zone or country of the delivering plant.
  2. Destination zone or country of the Ship to Party.
  3. Shipping condition from the customer master.
  4. Transportation group from the material master.
  5. Weight Group.
