This document outlines the process and configuration for transportation and shipment in SAP. It includes: 1. The key activities in the standard transportation process like creating sales orders, outbound deliveries, and shipment documents. 2. How to maintain transportation relevance for delivery types, items, and routes. 3. How to define freight code sets, codes, and their determination based on factors like forwarding agent groups. 4. An overview of the master data and customizing needed to set up routes, zones, transportation points, and automatic route determination based on country, destination, shipping conditions, and material groups.

theAddress tab in the customer (or vendor) master record.

DetermineRoutes
Automaticroute determinationisbasedonthe followingfactors:
 Country/departure zone(pickedupfromthe addressof shippingpoint)
 Country/destinationzone of the recipient(fromthe ship-topartyaddress)
 Shippingcondition (Customermaster)
 Transportationgroup(fromthe material master)
TIPThe shipping condition comesfromthecustomermasterrecord of the sold-to party,and
the destination address(transportation zone) comesfromthecustomermasterrecord of the
ship-to party.
There are 2 approachesfor determiningroutes:A.withoutWeight B.withWeight
