Order Origin

The source of the information on which an order is based, such as LN sessions, or user defined sources such as phone, mail, and so on.

Order Type

A code used to determine the character or function of an order and, consequently, of the message.

Examples:

  • Normal order versus return order
  • Invoice versus credit note

The classification that determines which sessions (in which sequence) are part of the order procedure. You can also assign one of the following categories to the order type: cost order, collect order, return order, and subcontracting order.

Order type codes are required in the ERP EDI messages that relate to a single order. EDI messages that relate to single orders include messages that process:

  • Orders (ANSI X12 850, UN/EDIFACT ORDERS).
  • Order changes (ANSI X12 860, UN/EDIFACT ORDCHG).
  • Order acknowledgments (ANSI X12 855 and 865, UN/EDIFACT ORDRSP).

Freight Class

A classification of an item in terms of:

  • Product density (pounds per square foot)
  • Stowage (size, weight, and shape)
  • Handling
  • Liability (the item's value)

Freight classification is a criteria that is used to determine an item's transportation price. In LN, a freight class can also serve as a criterion that determines the planning group of order lines. Freight classes are mainly used in the U.S.

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.

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.
