The use of items in Freight ManagementWhen sales orders, purchase orders, planned distribution orders, or warehouse orders require transportation, freight orders are created from these orders. Freight orders are created automatically, per batch, or sometimes manually. During this process, the freight orders are provided with specific freight related information. Among other things, the items on the freight orders are provided with data that refers to:
This information is defined in the Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000) session and in the Items - Freight Defaults (fmfmd1101m000) session of the Freight Master Data module. Freight uses this information to determine the proper type of transportation for these items and to group the orders that list these items into shipments and loads. To define freight related information for items, proceed as follows:
If you define freight defaults for a combination of item type and item group, these default values default for items with matching item types and item groups. Whenever this type of item is entered on a freight order, the default values appear on the freight order line where the item is listed. Similarly, if a freight order is created that lists an item for which individual freight related data are defined, the freight related data appears on the freight order line that lists the item. Note
