Incorporating Express Shipping Into The Sales & Distribution Process:
Enter a sales order in SAP. Select the shipping service (overnight, ground, Saturday delivery, etc.) using one of four possible triggers in the sales order: shipping condition, route, delivery priority, or special processing indicator. The carrier is assigned as the `Forwarding Agent’ partner.
Pick product for deliveries. Deliveries are created for sales orders. Pick tickets are generated for the deliveries and warehouse personnel physically pick items the warehouse. *Note: it is not mandatory to use SAP’s warehouse management (WM) module to utilize express ship functionality.
Pack product into a shipping carton. Next, the items are brought to a packing station and placed in a shipping carton. The carton is weighed on a scale that is directly integrated with SAP.
Send details to small parcel carrier. Information about the shipping container and its contents are captured in XSI and transmitted to the parcel carrier (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) via XML.
Receive shipping label details. A XML response is received from the parcel carrier and processed in SAP. This includes an image of the shipping label, the cost of shipping the parcel and the tracking number. This data is saved in the delivery; the image of the shipping label prints at the packing station.
Post goods issue / End-of-day close. A goods issue is posted for the delivery. When the UPS / FedEx truck picks up the packages, an end-of-day close transaction is performed.
Parcel tracking. While the parcel is in transit current details about its tracking status are available in numerous documents in SAP, including the sales order, delivery and shipment.
