In SAP Sales and Distribution, the determination of the shipping point depends on three main factors:
The shipping point is the location where a product is physically loaded and dispatched to the customer. It can be a warehouse, a production area, or a distribution center. Shipping point customization refers to the process of defining and configuring the shipping points in the system that will be used during the shipment of products to the customer.
Shipping Point Determination
Shipping point determination is the process by which the system, either automatically or manually, identifies the logistical unit (such as a warehouse or shipping facility) through which a material or order will be dispatched to the customer.
The shipping point is determined by clicking the New Entries icon.
Determination of Shipping Condition
Determination of Shipping Condition refers to the process of identifying the shipping requirements associated with a sales order, based on the customer’s delivery preferences or sales document type in a system like SAP.
Shipping conditions describe how the goods should be shipped — for example, express delivery, standard delivery, picking up, etc.

Assigning Shipping Condition to Customer Master Data
To assign a shipping condition to the customer document, the XD02 screen, where the customer document is edited, is opened. In the opened screen, the customer number is entered.
Click on the Sales and Distribution tab.
The Shipping tab is selected, the shipping condition is entered into the corresponding field, and the changes are saved.
Assigning Loading Group to Material Master Data
Using the MM02 screen, the loading group data is entered into the Loading Group field located in the Sales: General/Plant tab of the material master data and then saved.
