| Generating freight orders for direct delivery sales ordersOn a sales order or sales quotation, you can indicate whether
you want the sold goods to be directly delivered. By means
of a purchase order that is linked to a sales order, the buy-from business
partner delivers the goods directly to the sold-to business partner. A direct
delivery by-passes your warehouse. You can use Freight to manage and plan your direct
deliveries. Direct delivery orders If you want to generate freight orders for direct deliveries, the
following applies: - The freight order must be generated from the purchase order and
not from the sales order.
Therefore, if the Delivery Type field is Direct Delivery in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session: - The activity Generate Freight Orders (tdsls4222m000) is no longer linked to the sales
order.
- The Generate Freight Order from Sales check box is
renamed into the Generate Freight Order from Purchase check box. Whether
this check box must be selected, is defaulted from the Generate Freight Orders from Purchase check box in the Items - Purchase Business Partner (tdipu0110m000) session.
- If, in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session, the Delivery Type field is set to Direct Delivery after a freight order was generated, the freight order is
deleted.
- Either the Invoice for Freight check box can be selected in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session, or the Invoice External BP check box can be selected in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session. You cannot select both check
boxes.
- Sales order fields, such as Carrier/LSP, Route, and Freight Service Level, are leading. Therefore, these
fields must be specified on the sales order and not on the purchase order. The
purchase order data is unavailable.
- To calculate the freight invoice amount for the direct
delivery, click Freight Amount in the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session. The purchase office that is linked to the
buy-from business is used for this calculation. LN displays the
calculated freight invoice amount in the Freight Amount field of the Sales Order Lines (tdsls4101m000) session.
Note After the Planned Delivery Date is entered on the sales order
line, LN determines
whether the transportation lead time is sufficient to deliver the goods in
time. To calculate the transportation time, the ship-from business partner's
ship-from address and the ship-to business partner's ship-to address are used.
If the goods cannot be delivered in time, you must change the Planned Receipt Date or select another carrier on the
order line. If a freight order is linked to a direct delivery order, the
date fields have different names in the various modules. See this table: - | Sales | Purchase | Freight | ASN |
---|
Moment
of shipment of the goods from the supplier. | planned delivery
date | load date | load date | shipping
date | Moment of receipt of the goods by the sold-to business
partner. | planned receipt date | planned receipt
date | unload date | planned delivery
date |
Freight orders - After a direct delivery purchase order is generated for the
sales order, a freight order can be generated for the direct delivery order in
the Generate Freight Orders (tdpur4220m000) session. For details on creating a
direct delivery sales order, refer to Direct delivery sales orders.
- The purchase order number as well as the sales order number are
displayed on the freight order.
- When the freight order is generated, it is linked to the sales
order line in the Linked Order Line Data (tdsls4102s200) session and to
the purchase order line in the Purchase Order Line - Linked Information (tdpur4502s000) session.
- When the purchase order is received in the Purchase Receipts (tdpur4106m000) session, freight-related fields must be specified in
this session, such as the carrier that is used for freight cost calculation.
After final receipt, you must communicate the direct delivery information to
the sales order by means of the Update Sales / Service Order with Delivery Information (tdpur4222m000) session.
Note The freight order that is linked to a direct delivery purchase
order is deleted if any of these actions are performed for the direct delivery
purchase order: - Updated by Sales. You must generate a new freight order, if
required.
- Deleted in Procurement.
- Canceled by Sales.
