The code of the (first) loading address of the goods that must
be transported. A load can have more than one loading and unloading address.
This address is replaced if a new shipment is added that has an address with a
earlier start date.
Loads (fmlbd4100m000)Use this session to view and maintain loads. You can create loads with the Freight load building engine, an external planning engine, or manually. A load is a part of a load plan. You can manually create a load and add shipments to it or remove shipments from it. However, the load status determines whether you can delete or make a change to a load, and if changing is allowed, what changes you can make. Note Use the Maps section to view the location of the Start Address and the End Address. You must select only one record at a time. Print options On the Print submenu of the File menu, the following print options are available:
Options on the Specific menu You can access the following options on the Specific menu of the current session:
Start Address End Address The last unloading address. A load can have more than one
unloading address. This address is replaced if a new shipment is added that has
an address with a later end date. Planned Start Date The start date of load. This is the load date of the first
shipment of the load. Planned End Date The (last) unload date of the load. A load can have more than
one unloading address, and each address has a different load and/or unload date
and time. Number of Shipments The number of shipments included in the load. Number of Shipment Lines The number of shipment lines included in the load. Number of Cost Lines The number of additional cost lines included in the
load. Load Text Additional information about the load. To start up the text
editor, click ![[...]](../images/start_the_text_editor.gif){kind=small} or
press Ctrl-T.Carrier Invoice If this check box is selected, the carrier invoices
your organization with transportation costs. To invoice the business partner to
compensate for the costs incurred from the carrier invoice, the actual costs
are taken from the carrier invoice, which is stored in the Accounts Payable module
of Financials. If this check box is cleared, the carrier does not invoice your organization for transportation costs. To invoice the business partner with the transport costs actually incurred, you can make the estimated costs actual when the final changes to the estimated costs are made on the load. To make the estimated costs actual, on the appropriate menu, select Set Actual Cost--> Final. Invoice-from BP The business partner that sends invoices to your organization.
This usually represents a supplier's accounts receivable department. The
definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, invoicing method
and frequency, information about your organization's credit limit, the terms
and method of payment, and the related pay-to business partner. Open Balance This field displays the balance of all outstanding
freight costs of the Invoice-to BP. Open Balance The currency in which the open balance is
expressed. Pay-to BP The business partner to which you pay invoices. This usually
represents a supplier's accounts receivable department. The definition includes
the default currency and exchange rate, the supplier's bank relation, the
number of days within which you must pay the invoices, and if the business
partner uses a factoring company. Payment Terms The payment terms that apply to
the current load or freight order. The default value in this field is taken
from the Payment Terms of the originating order. Payment Method The way in which the payment (purchase invoice) or the direct
debit (sales invoice) takes place. The payment method defines details such as,
the maximum amount, the type of due date, if foreign currencies are allowed,
and which details must be printed on the report. These details are default values that you can change on the order or invoice as necessary. Payment Agreement A schedule for the generation of monthly billing invoices. For
example, you can define a closing method to generate two monthly billing
invoices during a month: one on the 15th day and one at the end of the
month Purchase Type A purchase order property that enables you to identify the kind
of purchase made and in this way, the kind of payable. This property is used to
post the purchase to the correct Accounts Payable account when the invoice is created. To
post a purchase invoice, LN retrieves the control account from the purchase type linked to the
purchase order line. Currency The currency used to express the
freight costs. This is the currency defined for the buy-from business partner
of the carrier that transports the current load. Exchange Rate Type A way to group currency exchange rates. You can assign
different currency exchange rates to different invoice-to business partners
and/or to different types of transactions (purchase, sales, and so on). Rate Determiner The exchange rate agreed upon by contract with your bank or
business partner (in order to avoid a currency loss). Currency Rate The factor by which an amount in a different currency is
multiplied to calculate the amount in the currency base. Rate Factor The rate factor related to the home currency of the company. Planned Freight Value The value of the goods that are transported. The value in this
field is filled from the aggregated freight value of the shipments of the
current load. Shipment freight values are derived from the originating orders
of the shipment lines. Planned Freight Value The value of the goods that are planned to be transported. The
value in this field is filled from the aggregated freight value of the
shipments of the current load. Shipment freight values are derived from the
originating orders of the shipment lines. Shipped Freight Value The value of the goods that are shipped. The value in this
field is filled from the aggregated freight value of the shipments of the
current load. Shipment freight values are derived from the originating orders
of the shipment lines. Estimated Freight Cost The estimated freight costs are
derived from the carrier agreements maintained in the LN Pricing module,
or they can be entered manually. If entered manually, the difference between
the manually entered freight costs and the calculated freight costs are
displayed in the Manually Added Cost field of
the Freight Costs Inquiry (fmfrc0540m000) session. Actual Freight Cost The estimated freight costs set to Actual Cost Final for a load or a freight order
cluster by the user, or the actual amount invoiced by a carrier to the shipping
office to carry out the transportation of particular goods. Recalculate for Invoice Amount If this check box is selected, the freight cost amount
must be recalculated manually due to partial deliveries or over-deliveries. Actual Cost Final If invoicing is based on a carrier invoice, this check box is
selected automatically when the invoice from the carrier is matched and
approved in Financials for
all shipments of the load. If invoicing is not based on a carrier invoice, this check box is selected if you make the estimated costs actual and final. To make the estimated costs actual and final, on the appropriate menu, select Set Actual Cost--> Final. Invoicing is based on a carrier invoice if the Carrier Invoice check box is selected.

the last shipment of the load. The planned travel time is calculated by adding
up the travel times of the shipments of the load. A load can have more than one
shipment. Waiting Time The total planned waiting time spent at all addresses visited
by the load. LN calculates the total planned waiting by adding the waiting times of the
addresses of the shipments of the load. The waiting times of the addresses of
the shipments are taken from the waiting times defined in the Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session for the shipment addresses, or from
the waiting times defined in the Freight Order Control Parameters (fmfoc0100m000) session. Visiting Time The total planned visiting time at all addresses visited by the
load. The visiting time is the time spent waiting, loading, and/or unloading at
an address. LN calculates
the planned visiting time by adding up the visiting times of the addresses of
the shipments of the loads. The visiting times of the addresses of the
shipments are taken from the waiting times and the loading and/or unloading
times defined in the Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session for the shipment addresses, or from
the waiting and loading and/or unloading times defined in the Freight Order Control Parameters (fmfoc0100m000) session. Start Date The date and time the load is actually loaded. This information
is filled by the user after the actual date and time is known. You can use this
information to compare the planned and the actual dates and times. End Date The date and time the load is actually unloaded. This
information is filled by the user after the actual date and time is known. You
can use this information to compare the planned and the actual dates and
times. Travel Time The actual time required for the load to travel from the

Note Only applicable if the shipments linked to the load all have the same ship-to code and the order type of the orders in the shipment is Single Ship-to Code per Load. Ship-to Code ship-to code. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note Only applicable if the shipments linked to the load all have the same ship-to code and the order type of the orders in the shipment is Single Ship-to Code per Load. Ship-to Code The description or name of the code. Text If this check box is selected, additional information
about the current load is available. Shipping Office The shipping office that handles
the load. Planning Group An entity that is used to group freight order lines into
shipments and loads or freight order clusters. Each freight order line is allocated to a planning group. Freight order lines with different planning groups cannot be in the same shipment, load, or freight order cluster. For example, all goods destined for Belgium are subdivided into planning group Belgium. From a hierarchical perspective, the planning group is one level below the shipping office. A shipping office has one or more planning groups. Freight orders are grouped into shipping offices, the underlying freight order lines are grouped into the planning groups of the shipping office. Single Order per Load If this check box is selected, a load can only contain
shipment lines generated for (all warehouse order sets within) one and the same
warehouse order. If kit handling is used, the load contains subkits that belong to the same topkit. Note LN retrieves the value from the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session. Single Ship-To Code per Load If this check box is selected, LN creates loads that have shipments for only one ship-to code. By
default, the check box is clear. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note LN retrieves the value from the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session. Route Plan The route plan along which the
load travels. Standard Route The standard route along which
the load travels. Status The status of the load. Load The first free number of the
load. This serves as the load identification.
Log Calculate Freight Cost Generates a report of the steps that are completed in the
freight cost calculation process. The report shows the setup information used
to retrieve a rate. The report is displayed at the end of the carrier/LSP
selection and costing process. The report shows, for example, why a specific
rate is used or why no rate is retrieved at all, why a certain carrier/LSP is
selected, and so on. For more information, refer to Carrier selection and cost calculation in Warehousing Final Use this command to make the estimated freight costs of the
load actual and final to indicate that no further changes to the freight cost
are expected. If changes occur nevertheless, to undo this setting, on the appropriate menu, select Set Actual Cost--> Not Final. These options are available if the
status of the load is Completed and invoicing is not based on a carrier invoice, that is, if the Carrier Invoice check box for the current load is
cleared. For more information, refer to Invoicing methods and The invoicing process. Not Final Use this command to undo the Set Actual Cost--> Final setting. Print Loads Starts the Print Loads (fmlbd4400m000) session. By default, LN starts this session
to print the report.
