Determination of transport time

If you enter a warehousing order in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session, LN takes into account the transport time required to:

  • Determine the default planned receipt date.
  • Calculate the planned delivery date based on the planned receipt date.
  • Calculate the planned receipt date based on the planned delivery date.

LN determines the transport time between the ship-from's address and the ship-to's address, based on a relevant distance table (if available) in the Distance Table by City (tccom4137s000) session or in the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4138s000) session. From which of these two sessions the transport time is retrieved depends on the value of the Usage Distance Tables field in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session.

When LN determines the transport time, LN also takes into account the calendar of the carrier that is specified for the current warehousing order. The calendar of the carrier is the calendar of the buy-from business partner that is linked to the carrier in the Carriers/LSP (tcmcs0580m000) session.

LN determines the calendar correction for the transport time based on the start time and end time of the carrier's actual calendar.

Note

If Freight is implemented, Freight calculates the transport time.
