Abstract
The supply chain network is defined by locations and transportation lanes. The master data in this chapter focuses on locations, transportation lanes, calendars and transport resources. Table 11.1 provides an overview about the relevant master data for distribution planning.
Within the some of the master data some entries are mandatory for distribution planning. These entries listed in table 11.2.

Transportation Lanes
The transportation lane defines the material flow between locations and is the prerequisite for any stock transfer. It is maintained with the transaction /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1 and contains the three views ‘product’, ‘means of transport’ and ‘product specific means of transport’ as shown in figure 11.1. Make sure to press enter before saving to prevent a loss of data.
In the ‘product’-view the transportation lane is restricted regarding the products and the lot sizes. It is even possible to lock a transportation lane, if it should temporarily not be used for distribution planning.
