| | Shipments and loadsA load consists of one or more shipments, and a shipment has one or more shipment lines. Loads, shipments, and shipment lines are generated by Warehousing or by Freight. During
the outbound procedure, Warehousing generates loads and shipments for outbound order lines with
status Staged, unless an actual Freight load plan is present. For more information, refer to Freight loads and shipments, Warehousing loads and shipments, and The outbound procedure. You can also manually create loads and shipments, which is
usually done to adjust or replace generated loads and shipments. Optionally, you can manually insert shipping containers, which provide a detailed insight into
the packing structure of the shipments. If shipping containers are used, a load
contains one or more shipping containers, a shipping container contains one or
more shipments, and a shipment has one or more shipment lines. For further information on shipping
containers, see Overview of kit handling in Warehouse Management. Warehousing loads and shipments LN generates loads, shipments, and shipment lines for the outbound order lines
that obtain the Staged status as follows: - Generate shipment line.
- Check if a shipment is present to which the shipment line can
be linked.
If yes, link shipment line to shipment. For more information, refer to How LN links a shipment line to a shipment If no, generate shipment. - Check if a load is present to which the shipment can be
linked.
If yes, link shipment to load. For more information, refer to How LN links a shipment to a load If no, generate load and link shipment.
Note If an actual Freight load plan is present, Warehousing generates loads and shipments based on the Freight loads and
shipments. For more information, refer to Freight loads and shipments For production orders, the setting of the Create Shipment field in the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session determines whether shipment lines
are generated. You can view and maintain loads, shipping containers,
shipments, and shipment lines in the following sessions: In these sessions, you can also manually create or modify
loads, shipping containers, shipments, and shipment lines. For further
information, see: How LN links a shipment line to a shipment A shipment line is linked to a shipment for which the
following data matches the warehousing order line data of the shipment
line: - Ship-from type and ship-to type
- Ship-from code and ship-to code
- Ship-from address and ship-to address
- Delivery terms
- Point of title passage
- Delivery code
- Motive of transport
- Sales office
- Shipment procedure activities
- Route
- Carrier
- Planned delivery date. The way the planned delivery date is
used is controlled by the option selected in the Generate Shipments group box of the Warehouse (whwmd2500m000) session.
Note If the Single Shipment check box or the Single Order Set per Shipment check box is selected
in the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0110m000) session, a shipment can only contain
shipment lines that are created from order lines of the same order or order
set. For more information, refer to Shipping structures. How LN links a shipment to a load A shipment is linked to a load for which the following data
matches the warehousing order line data of the shipment: - Route
- Planned delivery date
- Carrier/LSP
Note If the Single Order per Load check box is selected in the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0110m000) session, a load can only contain shipments that
are created from order lines of the same order set. For more information, refer to Shipping structures. Freight loads and shipments Freight can generate loads and shipments for warehousing order
lines and originating order lines. To generate loads and shipments, Freight must
generate freight orders for the warehousing orders or originating order lines
first. The loads and shipments that Freight generates from the freight orders
are contained in a load plan. After the load plan is made Actual, Freight passes on
these loads and shipments to Warehousing, where they are displayed in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session. If Warehousing has generated loads and shipments for a particular
warehousing order before Freight 's load plan based on the freight orders of the warehousing
order is made Actual, the loads and shipments generated by Warehousing prevail. Warehousing 's loads and shipments will populate the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session, and will replace the load and
shipments of the (not yet Actual) load plan. However, if the Overrule Load Plan check box is selected in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session, the load plan is overruled, even if it
is actual. Settings for generating freight orders for warehousing
order lines Freight can generate freight orders for warehousing order lines
if: - In the Warehousing Order Type (whinh0110m000) session, the Generate Freight Order Automatically check box is
selected for the warehousing order type of the order line.
- For outbound order lines, the Generate Freight Order from Warehousing check box is
selected in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.
- For inbound order lines, the Generate Freight Order from Warehousing check box is
selected in the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session.
The values of the Generate Freight Order from Warehousing check box in
the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session and the Generate Freight Order from Warehousing check box in
the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session are defaulted from the Generate Freight Order Automatically check box in he Warehousing Order Type (whinh0110m000) session. Note -
Freight orders can be generated from various originating
orders, such as: - Sales orders
- Purchase orders
- Enterprise Planning orders
- To ignore the shipment lines of a Freight load plan
for an individual outbound order line, you can select the Overrule Load Plan check box in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.
