Function: Freight Order Subcontracting

The main purpose of this business function is to subcontract the planning and execution of freight orders.

Process: Freight Order Subcontracting (code: MFM07a)

This process allows the subcontracting of freight orders to an external carrier for transportation.

This process is run to:

  • Check freight orders.
  • Cluster the freight orders.
  • Subcontract the clustered freight orders to carriers

Assumptions:

  • In case freight orders must be planned but not executed because the actual transport is subcontracted to a carrier, you must follow the process for Freight Planning, as described later in this chapter. An option for subcontracting is available, as well.
