The shipping office linked to the freight orders of the
freight order lines that you want to cluster.
Generate Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3200m000)Use this session to generate freight order clusters from freight order lines. A freight order cluster consists of a header and freight order cluster lines. A freight order cluster line is the identification of a freight order line that is allocated to the cluster. Freight order lines are combined into a cluster if particular properties match, such as shipping offices, planning groups, ship-from and ship-to addresses, and so on. To select the freight order lines that must be clustered, you must enter the selection criteria for these lines in this session. Freight order lines are selected on the criteria that you enter in the fields in the Selection Range area of this session.
Clustering Shipping Office The shipping office linked to the freight orders of the
freight order lines that you want to cluster. Shipping Office The description of the shipping office linked to the freight
orders of the freight order lines that you want to cluster. Planning Group The planning group linked to the freight order lines that you
want to cluster. Planning Group The description of the planning group linked to the freight
order lines that you want to cluster. Cluster Reference The description for the cluster. Selection Range Freight Order The range of freight orders to which the freight order lines
belong that you want to cluster. The freight orders, in turn, belong to the
shipping office and planning group combination entered previously. If you only
want to cluster the lines of a single freight order, enter the identification
code of this freight order in both the From and To fields. If you want to select freight orders that do
not fall in a range, for example, freight orders 10002, 10883, and 52034, use
the Specific Order(s) command. Freight Order The range of freight orders to which the freight order lines
belong that you want to cluster. The freight orders, in turn, belong to the
shipping office and planning group combination entered previously. If you only
want to cluster the lines of a single freight order, enter the identification
code of this freight order in both the From and To fields. To select freight orders that do not fall in a
range, for example, freight orders 10002, 10883, and 52034, use the Specific Order(s) command. Line A range of freight order lines that belong to the freight
orders entered in the From and To fields. Usually, you only use this option if you
entered a single freight order number in the Freight Order From and To fields. Line A range of freight order lines that belong to the freight
orders entered in the Freight Order From and To fields. Usually, you only use this option if you
entered a single freight order number in the Freight Order From and To fields. Transport Means Group A range of transport means groups that are linked to the
freight order lines that you want to cluster. For example, if you do not want
to subcontract all goods included in the freight order range entered
previously, but only petrochemicals that must be transported in oil tankers and
tank cars, enter the relevant user-defined transport means groups. Transport Means Group A range of transport means groups that are linked to the
freight order lines that you want to cluster. For example, if you do not want
to subcontract all goods included in the freight order range entered
previously, but only petrochemicals that must be transported in oil tankers and
tank cars, enter the relevant user-defined transport means groups. Transport Means Combination A combined means of transport that consists of various vehicle types and/or means of transport which jointly transport a load. If a transport means combination includes more than
one means of transport, Freight can perform load building for more than one means of
transport per load. Transport means combinations are also used in freight order
clustering. A transport means combination shows the combined means of transport
that is to transport the goods listed on a freight order cluster. Transport Means Combination A combined means of transport that consists of various vehicle types and/or means of transport which jointly transport a load. If a transport means combination includes more than
one means of transport, Freight can perform load building for more than one means of
transport per load. Transport means combinations are also used in freight order
clustering. A transport means combination shows the combined means of transport
that is to transport the goods listed on a freight order cluster. Transport Type A range of transport types that are linked to the freight
order lines that must be clustered. For example, if you do not want to
subcontract all goods included in the freight order range entered previously,
but only those products that require particular transport conditions, enter the
relevant range of transport types. Transport Type A range of transport types that are linked to the freight
order lines that must be clustered. For example, if you do not want to
subcontract all goods included in the freight order range entered previously,
but only those products that require particular transport conditions, enter the
relevant range of transport types. Planned Load Date A range of planned load dates for freight orders. Freight
orders from the specified freight order range will be selected if their planned
load dates fall in the range of planned load dates that you enter in these
fields. Planned Load Date A range of planned load dates for freight orders. Freight
orders from the specified freight order range will be selected if their planned
load dates fall in the range of planned load dates that you enter in these
fields. Planned Unload Date A range of planned unload dates for freight orders. Of the
freight order range entered previously, freight orders with planned unload
dates that falls within the range entered in these field will be
selected. Planned Unload Date A range of planned unload dates for freight orders. Of the
freight order range entered previously, freight orders with planned unload
dates that falls within the range entered in these field will be
selected. Carrier/LSP Selection Criterion Carrier/LSP Selection Criterion The carrier selection criteria are used to select the best
carrier for the freight order cluster. The default value of this field is set
in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session. Options Update Freight Order Clusters for Already Clustered Order Lines If this check box is selected, freight costs are
recalculated and carriers are selected for all existing Clustered and Actual freight order clusters. This parameter is useful
for clusters for which no suitable carrier was found previously. Calculate Additional Costs If this check box is selected, additional costs are
calculated if additional costs apply to any of the freight orders of the
selected range. For further information, see To allocate additional costs. Print to predefined Device If this check box is selected, LN selects the default device defined for the user profile to print
the report. Note By default this field is checked by LN. Print Reports If this check box is selected, an error/success report
about the clustering process is printed. Combine Fulfillments into Clusters Combine Fulfillments into Clusters The time interval based on which LN combines the
fulfillment plan lines into a freight order cluster. The following are the
available options based on which the fulfillment plan lines are
combined:
Tolerances The time interval starting from the shipping date of the
fulfillment plan line based on which the fulfillment plan lines are combined
into a freight order cluster. You can change the time unit of this field by
selecting the unit of measurement. Note The field is enabled only when you select the Shipping Date within Tolerance option based on which the fulfillment plan lines are combined into a freight order cluster. Tolerances The unit in which the tolerance time interval in
measured.
Generate After you enter the freight order selection criteria and select
the preferred clustering options, you must click this command to start the
freight order clustering batch process. Freight order lines that match these
criteria are then grouped into clusters, according to matching properties. For
example, if you select freight order lines in this session that are linked to a
particular shipping office, planning group, and transport means group, freight
order lines that match these properties are grouped into clusters with matching
addresses, time windows, carriers, and so on. Specific Order(s) If you want to select freight orders that do not fall in a
range, such as freight orders 10002, 10883, and 52034, use this command to
access the Specific Order Selection (fmfoc2800m000) session. Reset Selection Click this command to reset your selection. If you click this
command, the previous selection appears.
