Explanation

Precise scheduling in SAP SD calculates exact delivery times (hours/minutes) rather than just dates - and this requires the system to know when each location actually works.

B, C, and E are correct because precise scheduling depends on a complete picture of operational hours: the shipping point (E) must have working times so the system knows when picking/packing/loading can occur; the plant (B) must have working times for goods issue activities; and shifts (C) are what actually define the start and end times within those working days - without shifts, working times are just calendar assignments with no time granularity.

A is wrong because transit time in hours/minutes belongs to route configuration, which affects transport duration calculation - it doesn't configure the working time framework that enables precise scheduling. D is wrong because assigning a shift sequence to working times is a production planning (PP) concept used for capacity scheduling, not the SD delivery scheduling setup.

Memory tip: Think "PSS - Plant, Shifts, Shipping point." All three must be configured together because precise scheduling can only be as granular as your least-defined location - if any one of the three is missing, the system falls back to day-based scheduling.
