SAP Language
Here are some common terms that you will see while dealing
with LE-TRA in SAP:
Transportation – Shipment
Master Data
A. Business Partner Master Data > They are the Service-
Agents (Freight-Forwarder), Ship-to, Sold-to, Bill-to, Brokers
and Customs Agents, Carriers, Customers, Vendors and etc.
B. Material master data > You can’t have a shipment without
products (material). The material master data will define the
products that will be transported and also they represents the
handling unit (packaging material). All products and materials
transported using the transportation system (shipments) must
have a material master data.
C. Organizational master data > To the whole process flow
from Sales Order to Delivery, Shipping, Shipment Cost
Document, Invoice Payment and etc., system will need to
have the following Organization Level created and properly
assigned: Business areas, Sales Organization, Sales Area,
Distribution Channels, Transportation Planning Points, Plants,
Routes, Shipping Points, Purchase Organization, Purchase
Group, Controlling Area and etc.
Define Routes
You can also maintain the route stages for several stages.

Transaction 0VTD
It is where you will specify all the regions that you plan to cover
with your routes. The routes will be from a departure zone to a
destination zone.
Transaction OVR1
You can also specify the zones for each of your shipping points
here:
Transaction OVL7
Transaction OVSY
Here is where you will define routes, route stages and maintain the
transportation connection point, all them required for shipment
stages strategies.
Definition of routes
First you need to define the routes, doing the following steps:
• List the routes that are relevant to your process/company.
• Create the routes
• If necessary/required, inform additional data to the route,
which can be:
• Shipping type > You can assign a shipping type to the
route, to the preliminary leg, and to the subsequent
leg.
• Transportation service agent
• Transit time
• Transit planning lead time
• Factory calendar, work time
• Driving time (transit time minus breaks, distance)
• You can assign a mode of transport to the routes for
processing export activities.

Maintain Stages for all Routes
Table/View
In the example below, I selected 3 route stages (selecting the
checkbox) and I click in the “change” icon (the pencil). SAP pops-
up the “attribute proposal for selected route stages” and whatever
you maintain in there, it is going to be maintained to all the
selected stages, lights will change from red to yellow. Then you
need to “Save” and the lights will change from yellow to Green to
confirm the modification.
Determining Routes
To the route be automatically determined, the following parameters
are taken in consideration:
• Country and departure zone (Shipping Point address)
• Country and destination zone (ship-to party address)
• Shipping condition (It is informed in the Sales Order and
carried over to the subsequent documents)
• Transportation group (from the material master)
Configuration of Shipments
See below what is required to configure the Shipment.
Transaction 0VTR
• Route (V_TVRO)
Set Up Transportation Planning Points
Once the transportation relevance is defined, you will need to
configure the organizational structure that will run after
transportation, for example, the shipment documents are created
using the transportation planning point (which is tied to other
organizational elements, such as shipping points, plants and etc.)
