| Shipping office matricesA shipping office matrix is used to link
shipping offices to freight orders. If the attribute values of the shipping
office matrix match the values of an originating order of a freight order, the
shipping office linked to the shipping office matrix is linked to the freight
order. The attributes of a shipping office matrix refer to the attributes of
originating orders of freight orders. If there is no match, the shipping office
linked to the warehouse of the originating order is linked to the freight
order. You can link shipping offices to warehouses in the Warehouses by Shipping Office (fmfmd0185m000) session. A shipping office matrix consists of: To define a shipping office matrix Step 1. Define matrix headerTo define a shipping office matrix header, proceed as

- Define the Matrix Sequence.
- Save the data you just entered.
- Double-click the row that comprises the data you just
entered.
- In the Matrix Segments group box of the details session that appears, select the
attributes that you want to use for the current matrix. After you select an
attribute in the first list, the second list becomes available, from which you
can select the second attribute. You can select up to six attributes.
- Select the Active check box to specify that the shipping office
matrix is currently available.
- Save the data and close the details session. You have now
finished defining the shipping office matrix header.
Step 2. Define matrix detailsTo define shipping office matrix details, you must link
a shipping office and define matrix attribute values for the attributes that
you selected in step 5 of the previous procedure. To link a shipping office to
the matrix and define the matrix attribute values, proceed as
follows: - In the Shipping Office Matrix (fmfoc1140m000) session, click .

In the Shipping Office Matrix Definition (fmfoc1130m000) session, you specified the
attributes that must be used for the current matrix. See list item 5 of the
previous step.
Note Ensure that you carry out the procedure to
define a shipping office matrix in the above order. If you do not define the
matrix header details in the Shipping Office Matrix Definition (fmfoc1130m000) session first, the values of the
matrix segments remain Not Applicable. | |
