| Generating freight orders for direct delivery service ordersOn a service order, you can indicate whether you
want the sold goods to be directly delivered. By means of a purchase order that is
linked to a service 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,
but the service order fields are leading. Therefore, on the Freight tab of the Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000) session, freight information
must be specified on the service order. The purchase order data is disabled.
- You must use shipping office matrices to determine which
shipping office is responsible for handling the freight orders. For more information, refer to Shipping office matrices.
- The Invoice for Freight field in the Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000) session determines the value
of the Invoice External BP check box in the Purchase Orders (tdpur4100m000) session.
If this field is: Not Applicable The Invoice External BP is selected By Service or By Freight Management The Invoice External BP is cleared.
- To calculate the freight invoice amount for the direct
delivery, click Freight Amount in the Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000) session. The purchase office
that is linked to the buy-from business is used for this calculation. The
calculated freight invoice amount is shown in the Freight Amount field of the Service Order Estimated Material Costs (tssoc2120m000) session.
Note After the Planned Delivery Time is entered on the estimated
material cost 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 Time or select another carrier on the
estimated material cost 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: - | Service | Purchase | Freight | ASN |
---|
Moment of shipment of the goods from the supplier | planned delivery time | load date | load date | shipping date | Moment of receipt of the goods by the sold-to business
partner | planned receipt time | planned receipt date | unload date | planned delivery date |
Freight orders - After a direct delivery purchase order is generated for the
service 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 service order, refer to Direct delivery service orders.
- The purchase order number as well as the service order number
are displayed on the freight order.
- When the freight order is generated, it is linked to the
service order line in the Related Orders (tsmdm4500m000) 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 entered in
this session. For instance, you must enter a carrier that is used for freight
cost calculation, if no carrier is known yet. After final receipt, you must
communicate the direct delivery information to the service order by means of
the Update Sales / Service Order with Delivery Information (tdpur4222m000) session.
Note If the direct delivery purchase order is: - Updated by Service, the linked freight order is deleted. You must
generate a new freight order, if required.
- Deleted in Procurement, the linked freight order is also deleted.
- Canceled by Service, the linked freight order is
deleted.
