2658715 - Mini Scenario for Supply Chain Management (SCM): Ship-From Site Determination in ATP

Symptom

You are trying to create a Sales Order/Service Order, but the system is not able to determine Ship-From Site automatically or it is showing wrong Ship-From Site. This document explains the basic settings which are used by the system to determine the Ship-From Site.

Environment

SAP Business ByDesign

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Go to the Sales Order work center.
  2. Find and select the relevant Sales Order ABC (ABC represents the Sales Order ID).
  3. Choose the Edit button.
  4. In the new screen, choose the View All button.
  5. Go to the Items tab, and select the relevant Line Item.
  6. You can see in the Ship-From field there is no location determined or it is showing the wrong Ship-From Site.

Cause

The Ship-from is determined based on the Ship-to country Address, the Transport zone and Transport Lanes. If these data are not maintained, then system will not be able to determine the Ship-from Site.

Resolution

You can follow the below mentioned steps to verify the settings:

  1. In Sales Order, check for the country/region/postal code for the ship-to party address at item level.
  2. Go to the work center Supply Chain Design Master Data.
  3. Go to the view Transport Zones and select the advance search
  4. Enter the details which you got in step 1 e.g. Country. 
  5. Here you can see the list of the active Transport Zones for the entered searched terms.
  6. Go to the view Transport Lanes, and select the Advance search for the Transport Lanes linked to the Transport Zones, you got in step 4.
  7. Check the status, and ensure it is Active.
  8. Now check which Company/Seller the Ship-from belongs to, because if the Seller belongs to another company, no Ship-from determination will happen.
