Quick Question:
Explain me the difference betwen "shipping point" and "loading group" in SAP.
A delivery is always initiated from a shipping point. The shipping point can be proposed automatically during order processing depending on the plant, loading group and shipping condition.
Its plays a very important role as without a shipping point you really can't create a delivery document.
Loading groups are defined in Material master Record, which specifically means which group will load the material for the transportation, is it done by Crane, or on pellets, etc.
