To subcontract planned loads

To subcontract planned loads to a carrier, proceed as follows:

Step 1. 

Start the Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000) session.

Step 2. 

In the Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000), select the Load option.

Step 3. 

Select the loads for which you want to print subcontracting instructions using the selection criteria and the printing options as explained in Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000).

Step 4. 

Click Print.

You can print pro forma versions of the subcontracting instructions first. After both parties have agreed upon the instructions, you can print the final version. You can reprint the final version as often as you want, but you cannot change the contents of the final version. When the final instructions are printed for a load, the Subcontracted check box on the load is selected. Final subcontracting instructions can only be printed for a load that has at least the Actual status.

EDI Messages

If an EDI relation is set up with the buy-from business partner of the carrier, an EDI message is generated to notify the carrier of the subcontracting order when the final version of the subcontracting instructions is printed. An EDI message can be generated for a load with shipments and shipment lines and for a freight order cluster with freight order cluster lines.
