Bill of lading

[Former Member]

A shipment consist of n deliveries and the shipment will be forwarded to a Carrier.

Now the freight Carrier wants a bill of lading (that is a label which will have the address of each deliveries) for each delivery.

How to configure it.

Thanks in advance.

Bill of Lading is field which you can find in table LIKP-BOLNR.

And you can see here delivery->header->shipment.

Put valur here externally. Try this.

Hi Vijay - If I am correct, your carrier is asking a BOL paper form for each shipment that would serve as a document proof and will bind the shipper and carrier.

Based on the understanding, you would have to design a custom SAP Script form (SE71) or SMARTFORM and code a driver program that would pull relevant details from shipment (and deliveries in it) onto the form.

The next step would be to assing a output condition to the shipments (maybe by shipment type, planning point etc), and have the driver program and form associate to the output condition.

We do it the same way and are currently doing SAP Script to print BOL form for every shipment. However, in the coming months, we would be moving over paperless with our carriers and will issue electronic BOL via EDI ... message 211.

Let me know if you want to learn more on it.

Thanks
