| | Transportation timeTransportation time, one of the lead time components that is
used in purchase orders and distribution orders, can be determined in several
ways, depending on whether Freight Management is implemented: - If Freight Management is implemented, transportation time is determined by means
of Freight Management.
- If Freight Management is not implemented, the distance tables in Common are used to
determine the transportation time.
Addresses To calculate the transportation time, an original address and
a destination address, are always involved. Which addresses are used depends on
the order type: - For distribution orders, the addresses of the sending warehouse
(the original address) and the receiving warehouse (the destination address)
are involved.
- For purchase orders, the business partner address (the original
address) and receiving warehouse address (the destination address) are
involved.
Carrier For distribution orders, a carrier is always
involved. For purchase orders, a carrier is optional. If travel time is planned for a carrier, the carrier’s calendar
is retrieved indirectly by means of the business partner. To indirectly retrieve a calendar, these calendars are
consulted: - Calendar on the Ship-to BP role (in the Business Partners (tccom4500m000)) session) of the business partner that is filled as
carrier Buy-from Business Partner, in the Carriers/LSP (tcmcs0580m000) session.
- Calendar on the PO Buy-from BP role, of the business partner that is filled as carrier PO Buy-from BP.
- Company calendar in the Companies (tcemm1170m000) session
For all lead times, the availability type for carrying goods, as
specified in the COM Parameters (tccom5000m000) session, is
used. | |
