How To Use A Route Determination in Sap SD

Route determination is the process of establishing the optimal route for a shipment based on factors like departure/destination zones, shipping conditions, and transportation groups. It involves configuring modes of transport, shipping types, transportation connection points, routes and stages, transportation zones, and assigning transportation groups to materials. The system then automatically suggests efficient routes in sales orders based on these configuration settings to optimize transportation in the supply chain.

What is route determination?


The aim of the blog is to understand the route determination technique.
How the system finds the most appropriate route from a large number of
available routes in SAP /ERP system
Transportation is a very necessary aspect of any supply chain operation in
which the intended consumer would not obtain any finished product, and no
raw material would ever enter the factory. It is the direction & means of
delivery of the commodity to its destination. It plays a critical role
in shipping activities & is a basic prerequisite for preparing & producing a
shipment.
The Route is automatically suggested at the stage for the sales order. This is
the mechanism by which one may allocate the transport legs to a particular
route using various shipments and carriers.

In the deliveries this uses the weight group of the item to propose a different
route, route determination may also be re-determined.
How Route Determination in Sales Order
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 Sold-to Party Customer master
4. Transportation group from Material Master
Route determination configuration
For automatic route determination in the sales order, We need to configure
the below points.

Define Modes of Transport


Mode of Transport: This represents the medium through which the goods are
transferred from one location to another, i.e. Road, rail, etc.
SPRO IMG->Logistics Execution->Transportation->Basic Transportation
Function->Routes-Define Routes->Define Transport Modes.

Define Mode of
Transport
Define Shipping Types
Shipping Type: This is the actual vehicle used to transport the goods. E.g.:
Truck/Ship etc.
SPRO IMG->Logistics Execution->Transportation->Basic Transportation-
>Routes-Define Routes->Define Shipping Types
Select New Entries and Assign the Shipping Type (e.g. Road or Train) and
Assign Transport Mode (Mdtr) and Assign Shipping Type, group Procedure.
Define
Shipping Types
Define Transportation Connection Points
Transportation Connection point: These are the points where the transport
points are connected, or where the type of transport crosses the border. These
may include airports, railway stations, and border crossings.
SPRO IMG- > Logistics Execution- > Transportation- > Basic
Transportation Function->Routes-Define Routes- > Define Connection
Point.

Define Transportation Connection Point


Define Routes and Stages
We may also specify the maintenance of detailed details at the transport link
stage; We specify the values that the network will recommend, such as the
total length, distance, etc., from other routes. The device checks all stages on
other routes which have the same starting and destination points and may
also have the same type of shipping, transport service agent, leg indicator and
state level;
The route consists of different means of transportation & various phases,
which are designed using these.

Define Routes and Stages


Define Transportation Zone
Now we have to identify the transport zones. transport zones by country and
based on requirements & needs. Transportation zones reflect regions of the
delivery receiver (ship-to-partner) or delivery shipper (seller) areas.

Path:  SPRO IMG -> Logistics Execution – >Transportation -> Basic


Transportation Function – Routes – >Route Determination – >Define
Transportation Zone.

Define
Transportation Zone
Maintain County and Transportation Zone for Shipping Point
Here we need to assign countries and transport zones that we have defined
earlier for each country. shipping point

Path:  SPRO IMG-> Logistics Execution – >Transportation – >Basic


Transportation Function – >Routes -> Route Determination -> Maintain
County and Transportation Zone for Shipping Point.
Maintain County and Transportation Zone for Shipping Point

Define Transportation Groups.


It is the grouping of a material that has the same transport requirement. This is
updated in the Master Sales / General Data View material.
