Sap Sale Module: RE: [sap-log-sd] Changing Ship-To ID on Delivery

I am in agreement that there must be thousands of entities that do this. Here is our procedure:

When material is available a delivery is created
Pick List, Pack List and BOL are printed
Material is picked, staged, packed and wrapped [mixed skids are common]
Shipping units are measured.
Actual (not theoretical) Dimensions, weights, etc. are sent to International rep
Rep contacts customer for information required to ship
Arrangements are made to determine applicable ship-to (typically a port)
Information is added to the sales order
In order to change the Ship-To on the delivery the delivery must be
Un-Picked
Delivery removed from shipment or shipment deleted
Delivery deleted since ship-to does not agree
New delivery created
New delivery either linked to existing shipment or new shipment created
Delivery re-picked
Appropriate labels printed
Product shipped

Any observations, ideas, suggestions, etc. are welcomed!

Thank you

SAP have obviously done this for a reason - so I can in no predict the implications.

no lecture on advisability if you'll accept my grass and roots questions ;-)

Why are you creating a delivery when you don't know where it is going to be shipped to?

What is your requirement for "international" deliveries that differes from the tens of thousands of SAP installations making international deliveries that would have you considering a SAP modification?

You may have a good reason - I'd actually be interested to hear it.

Cheers mate
Budgie ;-)
