Carrier notification on sales order

[Former Member]

Hi all,

How does SAP handle the standard scenario:

A sales order is created with a forwarding agent (carrier company) set in the partners tab. Upon saving, we want to generate a document to send to our carrier company telling them how many trucks to send, the expected price and date. Is there a default document for this? It looks like most are only created upon delivery - which is too late because at that point the trucks will already have arrived.

Thanks,

I don't see any standard output in t.code V/30 (I am with SAP version 4.7). You can develop an output type and assign to output determination procedure for fulfilling this requirement. Check with an ABAPer to develop output form/program. If the system is ECC 6.0, then check the link http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/803e2bad-6a77-2c10-0ea5-bd37d2475...

Will create output type on sales order for this

[jpfriends079]

You create Forwarding agent as Vendor.

Use purchase order and service entry sheet ot create cost & settle them.

For your reference/understanding, you can refer SAP Building Block - G82: Transportation Management.
