Shipment Lines (fmlbd3150m000)

Use this session to view and maintain shipment lines. A shipment has one or more shipment lines. Shipments and shipment lines are created using the load building engine or can be created manually.

Print options

On the Print submenu of the File menu, the following print options are available for selected shipments:

  • Shipments
    Print shipment and shipment line details.
  • Planning
    Print planning data grouped by freight order, originating order, or load.
  • Available Inventory for Shipment Lines
    Print the available inventory.
Note

If the value of the Type field is Warehouse, the available inventory for the item on the shipment line is shown in the following fields:

  • Ship-from Warehouse
  • On Hand
  • On Order
  • Allocated
  • Committed

 

Shipment Line
The identification number of the shipment to which the shipment lines belong.
Shipment Line
The position number of the shipment line.
Status
The status expresses the progress of the shipment in its life cycle from creation in Freight, through execution in Warehousing, to completion after approval in the Accounts Payable module of Financials.
BOM Line
The identification number of the component item line.
Additional Cost Line
If this check box is selected, the current shipment line is an additional cost line. If additional costs must be paid for the goods listed on a shipment line, an additional cost set is linked to the shipment line. LN does this by creating a new shipment line where it stores the additional cost set. The new shipment line, called additional cost line, is then linked to the shipment line that lists the goods for which the additional costs must be paid.
Plan
The load plan to which the shipment of the shipment line belongs.
Load
The load to which the shipment of the shipment line belongs.
Freight Order Line
The identification number of the freight order on which the shipment line is based.
Freight Order Line
The position number of the freight order line on which the shipment is based.
Item
The item that must be transported. If the status is Completed or Closed, the item has reached the destination address.
Inventory Handling
In Warehousing, items are processed by component or by main item. If the value in this field is By Component, the originating order from which the current shipment line is derived is processed by component and the shipment line includes component items. If the originating order is processed by main item, the shipment line lists only main items.
Origin
The origin of the order from which the freight order of the current shipment line originates.
Originating Order
The identification number of the order from which the freight order of the current shipment line originates.
Reference

Any informative description field used to refer to, for example:

  • The person or department with authorization to perform a specific task.
  • The business partner's contact.
  • The original invoice number.
Delivery Point
The location where the shipment must be delivered by the carrier. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight.
Note
  • The value is retrieved from the Delivery Point field in the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session if the Single Delivery Point per Shipment check box is selected.
Delivery Point
The description or name of the code.
Customer Order
The customer order number based on which the goods are pickedup from the supplier site. All the shipment lines that have the same customer number are combined into a single shipment. If an existing shipment is not found, LN creates a new shipment for freight order line.

For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight.

Shipment Reference
The shipment reference based on which the goods are picked up from the supplier site. The shipment reference, among other criteria, determines how the goods issued/picked up from the supplier warehouse are grouped into shipments. The items that have the same Shipment Reference must be grouped into one shipment to the customer. In the automotive business this is called a Pickup Sheet (PUS) process. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight.
Note
  • The value is retrieved from the Shipment Reference field in the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session if the Single Shipment Reference per Shipment check box is selected.
  • The field is derived if the shipment line has the Confirmed status.

Inventory Unit
The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter.

The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock.

Planned Quantity
A quantity by unit against which you can define freight rates. You can choose from the units defined in Common. Many freight rates are based on distance and weight. Additional quantities/units enable you to define rates that are based on other units, such as volume, or define rates that are based on combinations of distance, weight, and other units.

Example 1

Freight rate by additional quantity/unit:

Additional Rate Quantity: 1 pallet, Distance: 1000 km

Amount by Distance: 10

Example 2

Freight rates by combinations of units by distance/zone:

Weight: 10 kg

Additional Rate Quantity: 1 m³

Break Type: Minimum

Distance:0100500
Amount by Distance101520
Amount by Weight5510
Amount by Additional Rate Unit557

 

In this example, freight rates are based on distance by weight and volume. Shipment SH0001, from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, includes the following details: Distance: 70 km, Weight: 50 kg, Volume: 7 m³

The freight costs for shipment SH0001 are:

 10 * 70 (distance) + 5 * 50 (weight) + 5 * 7 (volume) = 985

The value of the goods that are planned to be transported. The value in this field is filled from the freight order on which the shipment line is based.
Planned Freight Value
The currency by which the freight value is expressed.
Estimated Freight Cost
The estimated freight costs of the shipment line. The estimated costs are derived from the carrier agreements maintained in the LN Pricing module, or they can be entered manually.

Set to Ignored
Use this command to set selected shipment lines to Ignored. Shipment lines with the Ignored status are not processed further and can be deleted. For example, you must set a shipment line to Ignored in the following situations:
  • An inbound shipment is set to Shipped, but the goods are never received because the shipment was heavily damaged during transport. If you do not set the shipment lines to Ignored, the shipment lines and related shipments and loads retain the Shipped status indefinitely.
  • An inbound shipment is set to Shipped, but the supplier delivered the goods on a shipment other than the one listed in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session. Likewise, if you do not set the shipment lines to Ignored, the shipment lines and related shipments and loads retain the Shipped status indefinitely.

Note that in Warehousing loads and shipments are automatically set to Ignored if you do not advise the quantity of the shipment or load on the warehousing order related to the load or shipment. For further information, see Planned Loads/Shipments Status.

You can delete Ignored shipment lines by selecting the shipment line that you want to delete and use the Delete Record command. You cannot delete entire Ignored shipments or loads. A shipment is deleted when the shipment lines are deleted, a load is deleted when the shipments are deleted.

Print Shipments
Starts the Print Shipments (fmlbd3400m000) session. By default, LN starts this session to print the report.
