Loads (whinh4140m000)

Use this session to maintain details of loads.

Note

Use the Maps section to view the location of the Ship-from Address and the Ship-to Address. You must select only one record at a time.

Note

You can only view the projected loads using Projected Loads from the Views menu.

This field is enabled only if the Projected Shipments in use check box is selected in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

When a Carrier or Route is specified in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session or a planned load/shipment is available for a shipment in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session, a generated shipment has a corresponding load in the current session. This load contains the freight forwarding data as defined in the warehousing order. Use this session to add or change necessary forwarding data.

Note
  • To generate loading lists, from the Print menu, select Loading List.
  • If the warehousing order for which the load is created has one of the following warehousing order type settings, information about the warehousing order is displayed in the Order tab of the details session:

    • Single Order Set per Shipment
    • Single Order per Shipment
    • Single Order per Load

An overview of loads, shipping containers, and shipments by warehousing orders is available in the Warehousing Order Loads and Shipments (whinh4545m000) session.

  • The load is present in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session.

Note that for the transport means group that you select in this field, the Independent Use Allowed check box must be selected. If you select a transport means group, you cannot select a transport means combination. If a transport means combination is selected, you cannot select a transport means group.

Transport Means Combination
A combined means of transport that consists of various vehicle types and/or means of transport which jointly transport a load. If a transport means combination includes more than one means of transport, Freight can perform load building for more than one means of transport per load. Transport means combinations are also used in freight order clustering. A transport means combination shows the combined means of transport that is to transport the goods listed on a freight order cluster.

The following conditions apply to the entry of transport means combinations:

  • You can only insert a transport means combination if Freight is used.
  • You cannot select a pick-up transport means combination if a pick-up transport means group is selected.
  • You cannot select a pick-up transport means combination if no pick-up carrier is inserted.
  • The transport means combination that you select must exist for the pick-up carrier. You can attach transport means combinations to carriers in the Transport Means Combinations by Carrier (fmfmd0144m000) session.
  • If the load is set to Actual in Freight and Freight is leading, the transport means combination is taken from Freight.
  • If the load is not set to Actual in Freight and the load is present in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session, a pick-up transport means combination or a pick-up transport means group is mandatory.
  • You cannot change the transport means combination if the status of the load is other than Open.

Fixed Weight
If this check box is selected, weight changes of shipments and shipment lines do not result in a weight change of the load. Therefore, the weight of the load is fixed.

If this check box is cleared, you can recalculate the load's weight based on all shipments that belong to the load. To recalculate the load's weight, click the Calculate Weight button. You can only recalculate the load's weight if the load is not yet confirmed.

Maximum Weight
The maximum weight allowed for the load. The value in this field is taken from Freight, if this package is implemented.

The total weight of a load increases if new shipments or shipment lines are added to the load. If the total weight exceeds the maximum weight specified in this field while you are composing loads in the Compose Load (whinh4134m000) session, or creating manual shipments and shipment lines to the load, you are prompted to approve exceeding the maximum weight.

Total Weight
The unit in which weight is expressed.
Total Weight
