SAP Sales and Distribution Certification Practice Exam

What is the most likely reason for a delivery split in a collective delivery run?

1. The shipping conditions of two separate items in the sales order differ from one another

2. The physical weight of the total line items exceeds the capacity of the truck

3. The sales order line items have the same route and shipping point, but different ship-to parties

4. The loading group of one of the items differs from the others

The correct answer is: The sales order line items have the same route and shipping point, but different ship-to parties

The most likely reason for a delivery split in a collective delivery run is that the sales order line items have the same route and shipping point, but different ship-to parties. When items in a delivery originate from the same sales order but are intended for different delivery locations, the system recognizes this as a distinct scenario requiring a separate handling process. In situations where items are meant for different ship-to parties, even if they share other commonalities like route or shipping point, the system will create a split to maintain the integrity of the delivery and ensure that the correct items reach their designated recipients. This is essential for both logistical efficiency and customer service, as it allows for clearer tracking and management of shipments. Other factors related to weight capacity and loading groups can contribute to delivery management, but they do not directly imply a necessity for a delivery split in the context of collective delivery.
