The load planning attributeTo subcontract freight order lines to a carrier for transportation, you can create load plans for the freight order lines and offer the planned loads to the carrier, or you can offer clustered freight order lines for which no load building is performed. In Freight, you can either use load building or freight order line clustering to subcontract a particular freight order line. To indicate whether a freight order line is available for freight order line clustering or load building, the load planning attribute has been introduced. This attribute is a check box labeled Load Planning. This check box is available for various entities, such as Transport Types, Transport Means Groups, and so on, as you can see in the following sections of this topic. If you select this check box for any of these entities, freight order lines referenced by these entities are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the associated freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering. The load planning attribute is added to the following sessions. For each of the following sessions, the impact of the load planning attribute is described. Freight order Type Defaults (fmfmd0165m000) If the Load Planning check box is selected for the default values of a particular freight order type, freight orders and freight order lines that have this freight order type are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the associated freight orders and freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering. In this way, you can establish that freight orders with particular properties, which are defined as freight order type default values, must be clustered, and freight orders without these properties must be planned. Transport Types (fmfmd0140m000) If the Load Planning check box is selected for a particular transport type, freight order lines linked to this transport type are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the associated freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering. In this way, you can accomplish that freight order lines that require particular transport conditions must be clustered, and others must be planned. Transport Means Group (fmfmd0150m000) If the Load Planning check box is selected for a particular transport means group, freight order lines that have this transport means group are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the associated freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering. In this way, you can accomplish that freight order lines that require particular means of transport and/or transport conditions must be clustered, and all other types of freight order lines must be planned. Freight Orders (fmfmd2100m000) If the LoadPlanning check box is selected for a particular freight order, the freight order lines of this order are available for load planning. If this check box is cleared, the freight order lines are available for freight order line clustering. Freight Order Lines (fmfmd2101m000) If the LoadPlanning check box is selected for a particular freight order line, the freight order line is available for load planning. If this check box is cleared, the freight order line is available for freight order line clustering.
