Carrier Freight Rate Matrices (tdpcg0130m320)Use this session to view, enter, and maintain freight rate matrices for the Carrier Freight Rate matrix type.
Matrix Type Defines the type of a matrix definition and is linked to a set of matrix attributes. The following matrix types are available in Pricing:
Each type has its own a selection of attributes. 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
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:
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. 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:
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 Ship-to BP Ship-from BP 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 Payment Method Payment Terms Price Group A group of items to which the same pricing characteristics apply. Sales/Purchase Office Sold-to/Buy-from BP
