Copying Control for Deliveries and Data Transfer Routines in SAP S4 Hana Cloud systems

[Jorge_Cardós]

Hi Experts,

I would like to ask you something concercing copying control for deliveries and data transfer routines in SAP S4 Hana Cloud systems

OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers) are asking for the possibility of using extensibility fields as a splitting criterion for deliveries created from sales scheduling agreements.

SAP uses, both in S4 On-Premise and S4 Hana Cloud systems, standard fields as a splitting criterion for deliveries such as:

-          Ship-to Party

-        Incoterms

-          Transportation Group

-          Delivery priority

-          Shipping Point

-          Shipping Conditions

-          Warehouse number

However, it seems that the copying control function as well as delivery data transfer routines for deliveries are only available in SAP S4 On-Premise systems.

Routines can be modified / created in SAP in order to include custom criteria to split outbound deliveries.

Delivery data transfer routines are used to fine tune fields transferred during the copying process from selected reference documents into the delivery document. This is done via detailed data transfer routines that transfer specific fields and manipulate the values of others prior to creating the delivery document. These data transfer routines are assigned, in customizing, to the data transfer routine field in the copy rules for delivery document type/item category.

When creating a delivery document with reference to existing documents, the system first checks the copy requirement assigned to the document type/item category. If the requirement is met, then the transfer of data begins from the reference documents into the delivery. It is in this second step that the delivery data transfer routines defined here are called.

When looking at the code for the standard delivery data transfer routines, or when writing your own,some standard work areas are used.

However, it seems that this functionality is not available in SAP S/4 Hana Cloud systems.

We would like to know if there is a way to define our own splitting criteria for deliveries by using extensibility fields previously created in SAP S4 Hana Cloud system.

The following extensibility fields have already been created in the system:

-          Supplier Code.

-          Purchase Order Number.

These extensibility fields are copied from sales documents to deliveries on header level:

These fields are going to be informed by the customer via API “Delivery Schedule of Sales Scheduling Agreement – Receive, Update (B2B)” in sales scheduling agreements (Sales Document Type LZ) and copied at a later stage to outbound deliveries (Delivery Type LF).

We want to use these fields as a criterion to split outbound deliveries by modifying or creating custom data transfer routines in SAP S4 Hana Cloud system.

Is there a way to do so?

Thank your very much in advance for your help,

Best regards.

Jorge

Hi Jorge,

Currently there is no BAdI available to perform custom data transfer for business context: shipping - delivery. I would say that splitting outbound deliveries based on a custom logic is not supported for now.
