SNP master Data, Creation of Transportation Lanes

Exercise 4 Create Network of Transportation Lanes

Estimated Completion Time: 30 minutes

Overview
This exercise will describe the logical steps to Create Network Transportation Lanes.

You need transportation lanes when planning distribution and procurement between different locations. Products can only be procured if transportation lanes exist between the possible locations. Structure A transportation lane is specified more exactly by the following: The products that can be procured via this transportation lane The means of transport that can be used for transporting the products being procured You can create a transportation lane as follows: For a specific product For a product group This option is displayed only if you have defined at least one product group in Customizing for the product master. For all products For a specific mass selection Note that you can only use mass selection for products that exist at both the start and destination locations. Product Procurement Parameters The parameters for product procurement enable the system to find the valid sources of supply in the source determination process. Means of Transport Means of transport are used to move goods between the locations of a transportation lane. The term covers trucks, ships, aircraft etc. You assign means of transport to a transportation lane and specify the associated parameters such as the transportation duration, transportation distance, and transportation costs. The system can also calculate the straight line distance (as the crow flies) from the geographical coordinates of the location. If multiple means of transport are assigned to a transportation lane, the SNP optimizer can decide which one to choose on the basis of the transportation duration, transportation costs, and penalty costs for delays.

Product-Specific Transportation You can assign a product-specific means of transport to one or more products. You must have already defined this means of transport in the means of transport list.

Instructions
1. Follow the naming convention used for the locations. 2. Decide on the products to be included in each transportation lane.

Detailed Instructions:

NOTE: Assign Means of Transport as follows:

You can assign a specific means of transport or all available means of transport to a product. To do so, you select a product from the Product Procurement list and choose the Create button in the Product-specific Means of Transport list

You can assign one product or all existing products to a means of transport. To do so, you select a means of transport from the Means of Transport list and choose the Create icon in the Product-specific Means of Transport list.

YY has been used as reference naming convention. Replace YY with Your initials for first and last name to create your unique naming convention.
