Supplier sends goods from multiple Ship-from locations

This is regarding the scenario where a supplier can supply goods from multiple ship from locations. Let me explain this using examples:

  • I have 2 vendors in ECC V1 50000000  and V2 50000005. Both are diff ship-from addresses for the same organization
  • I transfer both to SNC – where they create 2 locations (V1) 0050000000 and (V2) 0050000005
  • I assign them both to business partner 50000005
  • I now create a Purchase order in ECC to Vendor 50000000
  • I have already maintained transportation lanes for that material in both locations (V1) 0050000000 and (V2) 0050000005
  • I’m a user for BP 50000005. I should see this PO in my list
  • When the business partner does an Order Confirmation: He can confirm Qty, Date & Price. Location does not come into the confirmation schedule line. It is at Line item level
  • When the supplier does ASN (Shipping Notification) – he can create a separate ASN for each Ship from location quantity (in ASN Ship From is at header level)
  • I have a PO & Conf for 10 EA. I created one ASN of 6 for ship-from location 50000000 and another ASN for ship-from location 50000005 of 4 EA
  • The 2nd ASN gives errors because certain SNC validations need to be turned off. Once the below validation is turned off, it’ll allow 2 diff ASNs from 2 diff Ship From locations
SHIP_FROM_LOC_MATCH_PO Ship-From Location in ASN Header Matches Ship-From Location in PO The ship-from location in the ASN and the ship-from location in the purchase order are the same.

Critical points to remember:

  • When vendors are CIF’ed to SNC – select option “Create locations” – you can manually create a BP and assign to both. Since the 2nd BP is superflous
  • Maintain the material’s transportation lane for both vendor locations to plant
  • Turn off ASN Validation SHIP_FROM_LOC_MATCH_PO

Hope that helps.
