Integration Freight Order Control and SalesTo identify and choose the appropriate means of transportation, freight orders can be generated from sales orders that are manually created, generated, or that originate from a converted sales quotation. If a freight order is created from a sales order, the progress of the shipment and loads can be exchanged and information can be shared between Freight Order Control and Sales. Sales quotation settings To enable the generation of freight orders from sales orders that originate from a converted sales quotation, and to provide the necessary freight related information when the quotation is converted to a sales order, specify these fields in the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session:
Note After the Planned Delivery Date is specified on the sales quotation line, Freight determines if the transportation lead time is sufficient. A message is displayed if the goods cannot be delivered in time. You can either change the Planned Receipt Date, or select another carrier. Freight orders cannot be generated from quotations, but only from sales orders. In the Sales Quotation Lines (tdsls1501m000) session, you specify all freight-related data to provide the necessary information when the confirmed quotation is converted to a sales order in the Process Sales Quotations (tdsls1200m000) session. Sales order settings To enable the generation of freight orders from sales orders, these settings must be applied in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) or Sales Order Planned Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session:
Note Freight orders generated for sales orders are of the single-shipment type if:
Generating freight orders from sales orders If the Generate Freight Order from Sales check box is selected in the Items - Sales Business Partner (tdisa0510m000) session and a sales order is generated for the item – sales business partner combination, after approval, LN checks whether Generate Freight Orders (tdsls4222m000) is linked as an activity to the order type in the Sales Order Type - Activities (tdsls0560m000) session to determine the freight order generation method. The freight order can be manually or automatically generated for the sales order. After a freight order is generated from a sales order (delivery) line, the status of the freight order is Expected. The information that goes to the freight order includes only shipping related data, such as customer-requested date, addresses, shipping constraints, carrier, route, delivery terms, and planning responsibility. The original sales order number, position, and sequence number can be referenced in the freight order line. The calculated freight costs can be returned to the sales order (delivery) line. When a load plan is created for the freight order, the status of the freight order is Planned. The load plan can be made actual only in Freight and the status of the freight order can be Actual after the sales order (delivery) line is released to Warehousing. On the appropriate menu of the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) or Sales Order Planned Delivery Lines (tdsls4101m100) session, you can click:
Note
Due to the type of transport, or the availability of the carrier, the Planned Receipt Date can differ from the date as specified on the sales order (delivery) line. In the Sales Orders (tdsls4100m000) session, you can click Printing and then Orders with Deviation in the Shipment Dates to start the Print Orders with Deviating Shipment Dates (fmlbd3450m000) session. With this session, you can generate a difference report listing all orders for which the original dates differ from those in the load plan of Freight.
