For a matrix type, the combination of a maximum of six attributes identifies the matrix definition. Matrix Definition The number of the freight rate matrix. Note Freight rate matrix definitions can be specified in the Matrix Definitions (tdpcg0110m000) session. LN can search freight rate matrices only if you specified a search priority for the matrix definition in the Matrix Priorities (tdpcg0120m000) session. The sequence number for the freight rate matrix, which is automatically incremented by one each time you specify the relevant freight rate matrix. Description The description of the freight rate matrix. Effective Date The first date on which the freight rate matrix is valid. The default effective date is equal to the system date. Expiry Date The last date the freight rate matrix is valid. If this field is not filled, the freight rate matrix is infinitely valid. Freight Rate Book An entity in which you can store freight rate information that is valid for a given period of time. A freight rate book includes the following elements: A freight rate book header, which contains the code, rating method, distance unit, and free distance. One or more freight rate book lines, which contain the freight rates for a combination of attributes such as carrier and service level. The freight rates specified in a freight rate book are subject to a minimum or maximum weight, distance, or additional rate value. For example, if a sales order matches the attributes of the current freight rate matrix, the freight rates listed in the freight rate book(s) referenced by the current freight rate book will be used to calculate the freight costs of the sales order. Related topics Defining freight rate books Rate Basis Number A code in LN representing a combination of a freight class, transport means group, transport type, and/or planning group. In Freight, rate basis numbers are used to determine the carrier rates for the following entities: Shipments Loads Sales order lines Sales quotation lines A rate basis number is allocated to a shipment, load, order line, or quotation line if the freight class, transport means group, transport type and/or planning group of the shipment or load match those defined for the rate basis number. In Pricing, freight rate books are linked to rate basis numbers. A rate basis number allocated to a shipment, load, and so on, will in turn point to a freight rate book from where freight rates can be picked up. Invoice-from Business Partner 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.

Shipping Office A department that is responsible for the organization of transportation for one or more warehouses. When goods are moved from or to a warehouse, the responsible shipping office plans the transportation of these goods or subcontracts the transportation of the goods. In direct delivery scenarios, the shipping office provides planning or transport subcontracting services for external suppliers or customers. In Freight, a shipping office plays a key role in load building and freight order clustering. Freight orders are grouped by shipping office. The groups of freight orders by shipping office are used by the load building engine to build shipments and loads, or by the freight order clustering engine to build freight order clusters. Price List List of default prices and discounts for customers and suppliers. You can link price lists to items and item groups, and to sold-to and buy-from business partners. Payment Method The way in which the payment (purchase invoice) or the direct debit (sales invoice) takes place.

The payment terms include: The period within which invoices must be paid. The discount granted if an invoice is paid within a given period The payment terms allow you to calculate: The date on which the payment is due The date on which the discount periods expire The discount amount Price Group A group of items to which the same pricing characteristics apply.
