Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000)

Use this session to view and maintain the loads and shipments that are planned for specific warehousing orders.

The planned loads and planned shipments in the current session are either:

  • Generated by Freight
  • Manually created
  • Generated by Warehousing if one or more freight orders, but no Actual Freight load plan is present for warehousing order lines that obtain the Staged status. Warehousing generates loads, shipments, and shipment lines for the outbound order lines that obtain the Staged status. For further information about the outbound procedure, see The outbound procedure.

If planned loads or planned shipments are generated by Freight, LN uses the number groups and series as specified in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session for numbering the planned loads and planned shipments.

Manually create loads and shipments

If you manually create planned loads and shipments in the current session:

  • LN uses the number groups and series as specified in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session for numbering the planned loads and planned shipments.
  • You can link warehousing order lines. If for a warehousing order line a freight order is generated, you will get a warning.
  • You can only link outbound order lines with a picked quantity of zero.
  • You can only link inbound order lines with a received quantity of zero.
  • You cannot manually link warehousing order lines to planned loads and shipments that are generated by Freight.
Modify loads and shipments

You can only modify loads and shipments with status Actual.

Delete loads and shipments

You cannot delete loads and shipments:

  • With status Confirmed or Shipped.
  • With a quantity received or a quantity picked of more than zero for statuses other than Confirmed or Shipped.
  • If the load or shipment is generated by Freight. Note that if in Freight, an Actual load plan is deleted, the corresponding loads and shipments in the current session are deleted as well.

If the warehousing order that is related to a planned load or shipment is deleted, you must also delete the planned load or shipment in the current session.

Note

To view the loading sequence of a shipment contained in a load, select the shipment, from the Search by menu, select Loading List. The load that contains the shipment and the loading sequence of the shipments of the load are displayed.

To generate loading lists, from the Print menu, select Loading List.

 

Order
The warehousing order's origin.
Order
The warehousing order that is linked to the planned load or shipment.
Order Line
The warehousing-order line that is linked to the planned load or shipment.
BOM Line
The BOM line that is linked to the planned load or shipment.
Sequence
The sequence number of the order line.
Load
The planned load to which the warehousing-order line is planned to be added.

If you manually create a planned load or shipment in the current session, LN generates the load number based on the Series as specified in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

Shipment
The planned shipment to which the warehousing-order line is planned to be added.

If you manually create a planned load or shipment in the current session, LN generates the shipment number based on:

  • The Series for Inbound as specified in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, if it concerns an inbound shipment.
  • The Series for Outbound as specified in the Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session, if it concerns an outbound shipment.
Load Plan
General Data
Warehouse
The code of the warehouse.
Loading Date
The date on which the outbound shipment is:
  • Planned to be loaded if the planned shipment is not yet confirmed. In this case, the loading date replaces the planned delivery date of the warehousing-order line.
  • Actually loaded if the planned shipment is confirmed.
Unloading Date
The date on which the inbound shipment is:
  • Planned to be unloaded if the planned shipment is not yet received. In this case, the unloading date replaces the planned receipt date of the warehousing-order line.
  • Actually unloaded if the planned shipment is received.
Reason
The reason why the change of the load plan was required.

You can only specify a reason of the Load Plan Deviation type.

Quantity/Weight
Planned Quantity
The quantity that is planned to be shipped for the combination of load and shipment.
In Process Quantity
The quantity for which an outbound advice is generated if the outbound advice is generated using the load plan.
Shipped Quantity

Delivered Quantity
The quantity that is actually delivered for the planned load or shipment.
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.

Gross Weight
The actual gross weight of the shipped goods.

LN determines the actual gross weight when the shipment or receipt is confirmed.

Gross Weight Unit
The unit in which the actual gross weight is expressed.

Shipment Information
Pick-up Carrier
The carrier that transports the goods of the load.

If the load is created by Freight, the carrier is selected by load building. If the load is created by Warehousing, the carrier is specified manually or defaulted from the originating warehousing order.

For inbound loads, the carrier is a delivery carrier. For outbound loads, the carrier is a pick-up carrier.

Shipment Procedure
The shipment procedure to be carried out for the planned shipment.

The shipment procedure in the current field replaces the shipment procedure as specified for the warehousing-order type that is linked to the warehousing order.

If this check box is cleared, Warehousing can change the load plan without verification with Freight.

Note

This check box is selected only if the order is generated by Freight.

Delivery Information
Delivery Carrier
The carrier that transports the goods of the load.

If the load is created by Freight, the carrier is selected by load building. If the load is created by Warehousing, the carrier is specified manually or defaulted from the originating warehousing order.

For inbound loads, the carrier is a delivery carrier. For outbound loads, the carrier is a pick-up carrier.
