Bob,

Combining "transport planning" is the way forward.
Essentially here you combine outbound deliveries on the basis of selection criteria & create shipments"

I have not worked on transport planning myself. Some experts in this forum can guide you.

You might want to google "transport planning" and "SCM611 course" in order to get more information.

An extract from an SAP doc -
"We recommend the transportation functionality. If you use these functions, outbound deliveries are grouped together on the basis of user-definable criteria in doc. This doc is the shipment document.

The functions provided in transport planning, shipment completion ....form the contents of SAP course SCM611 "

Subject: Hold Sales Orders for Truckload Shipment

Hello fellow SAP users!

We have some number of customers (and the number seems to be growing) who want to send us less-than-truckload orders on a daily basis but they want them held until there is enough product for a truck load then ship. This has gotten to the point where we can't manage it manually and be effective. The dates do not align so our post-shipment reporting is not reflective of our ability to respond to their needs. Any insights or like experiences that anyone can share would be most appreciated. Please let me know if I should supply more definitive information.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
