Smart SAP Assistant

• Key Concepts: 
  Mixed shipment is a feature of SAP SCM-APO-VS Vehicle Scheduling that allows for multiple orders to be combined into one shipment. This allows for more efficient delivery of goods, as multiple orders can be delivered in one trip. This feature also helps to reduce costs associated with shipping, as fewer trips are needed to deliver the same amount of goods. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use the mixed shipment feature, first select the orders that you would like to combine into one shipment. Then, select the “Mixed Shipment” option from the menu. This will create a single shipment that contains all of the selected orders. You can then assign a vehicle to this shipment and schedule it for delivery. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When using the mixed shipment feature, it is important to consider the size and weight of the items being shipped. If the items are too large or heavy, they may not fit in one vehicle or require multiple trips to deliver. Additionally, it is important to consider the delivery timeframes for each order when creating a mixed shipment. If some orders need to be delivered sooner than others, they should be shipped separately.
