Q). What part of the company is responsible for the type of shipping, the neccesary shipping materials and the means of transport?

Transportation Planning Point
C) Shipping Condition
D) Shipping Point
E) Warehouse

Answer: The correct answer is 'D' Shipping Point. Shipping points in SD represent an independent organizational unit that are linked to a plant. Shipping points show the point of departure or receipt of materials. In SAP, a plant may have many shipping points. However, delivery is created from one shipping point only. The shipping point is the basic requirement for a delivery to happen in SAP SD. No delivery can be made without a shipping point. The shipping point is determined by the system based on the shipping conditions.
