Hi,
is there a demand in this community to implement a multi stage customer order delivery?
E.g. a customer order needs to be shipped with a customer order shipment process but rather than delivering the goods to the customer, the goods should be relocated to another location ( e.g. at a forwarding agent).
Parts stay in this location until the final delivery to the customer is done.

I have little bit same kind of cases.
Customer order products, but those are first delivered to they terminal, there they handle those to final destination.
We should anyhow in delivery phase mark pallets with both informations ‘Delivery address’ and ‘via address’.
Now we plan to handle those so, that final address is added to some custom fields etc, and Via address is main address at customer order.
I think this kind of ordering flow is std in SAP purchase, at least these both customers have SAP.

A Shipment Order can be created to require movement of goods, the execution is done via the exiting shipment and receipt process. In other words the same that is used for Customer Order (Shipment), Purchase Order (Receipt) and Project Deliverables (Shipment). The Shipment Order is the object both in the shipment and receipt as you can see in the picture. By using the existing Shipment the exiting functionality for reservation, packing, picking, documents, delivery, dispatch advice are used. Once the Shipment Order is sent the material is placed in Internal Order Transit. Once the material arrives, you can register arrival, receive dispatch advice etc just like for Purchase Order.
The Shipment Order can handle goods movement between:
Site to Site (inter site)
Site to Remote Warehouse (inter or intra site)
Remote Warehouse to Site (inter or intra site)
Remote Warehouse to Remote Warehouse (inter or intra site)
Sounds good. so the process runs under 1 customer order and automatically created Shipment Orders are used for the internal transactions?

Once you have created a header you can add shipment order lines. In the lines you enter which parts and how much of the part that you want to move. You can also define when the goods movement should be done. The wanted receipt date and lead times from the header will be the default and back calculation happens from that date based on lead times. You can manually change dates and lead times. Date and lead times can be further explored by reading about lead times.
If desired, you can do manual reservation of the shipment order line. Note that availability control could be used in addition for shipment order.
When you are done you can release the shipment order to status Released. This means that the shipment order is ready for further execution in the shipment. During execution of the shipment order the status will be in In Progress. Once everything is received into stock the status will be Closed.
At delivery of the shipment the material is under transportation and can be tracked. The following information can be seen when in transit:
When the goods arrive the inbound receipt process can be used for the shipment order to do actions like:
Do you think the above solution will address your requirement? (I am proposing 2 Shipment Orders to be precise)

ok so there is no connection at all between the customer order that wants to ship the parts to end customer and the shipment order that moves the parts internally?
