Plan Matrix Definitions by Shipping Office (fmfoc1115m000)

Use this session to view and maintain planning group priorities. You can set priorities for the matrix definitions used in the plan matrices for the planning groups of a shipping office.

To define a planning group priority, proceed as follows:

  1. Select the shipping office to which the planning group belongs.
  2. Enter the priority number. Enter one to specify the highest priority.
  3. Select a matrix definition.

If the freight order grouping control data are set up properly, the selected matrix definition is linked to the plan matrix which, in turn, is linked to the planning group for which you define the priority.
