Freight Rates and Costs Parameters (fmfrc0100m000)Use this session to view and maintain the freight rates and costs parameters.
Effective Date In the actual set, or parameter set, the effective date field is empty, but the effective date is taken as the default value in the Description field. In parameters sets that precede the actual set, the effective date is displayed in the effective date field. If you make a change in the actual set, the changed set becomes the new actual set. First Priority The first priority zone-code type to be checked for zone based
rates. Allowed values Second Priority The second zone-code type to be checked for zone based rates.
If no zone based rates of the first priority zone-code type are found, Freight searches Pricing for zone
based rates of the second priority zone-code type. Allowed values Third Priority The third zone code type to be checked for zone based rates. If
no zone based rates of the first and second priority zone code type are found, Freight searches Pricing for zone
based rates of the third priority zone code type. Allowed values Transport Costing If this check box is selected, freight cost calculation
for loads, shipments and freight order clusters is enabled and freight costs
can be posted in Financials.
Clearing this check box can be useful for organizations that do not require
freight cost checking or invoice matching. These organizations either have a
contract or partnership with a single carrier to handle all of their transport
and transport planning activities, or they run their own fleet and do not use
internal invoicing. Distance Break Type The preferred break type for zones of the distance type. Rate and Carrier/LSP Selection at Order Line This parameter is used to specify the criterion for carrier and
rate selection which is used to calculate the preliminary freight costs for
order lines before load building has been carried out. Preliminary freight
costs can be calculated for the following types of order lines:
For freight order lines, you can only calculate preliminary freight costs if the setting of the Invoice for Freight Based On parameter at the business partner listed on the originating order is Client Rates. For sales order lines and sales quotation lines, it depends on the setting of the Invoice for Freight Based On parameter at the business partner listed on the order whether client rates or carrier rates are searched. Carrier Selection Rate and Carrier/LSP Selection at Warehouse Shipment Select the criterion for carrier and rate selection. LN uses the specified
criterion to calculate the estimated freight cost of loads and shipments
created in the Warehousing package of LN. LN selects the carrier and calculates freight costs based on the following available options:
Cost Allocation Based On This parameter determines the basis for cost allocation to
lower levels, for example, from load to shipment or from shipment to shipment
lines. If freight costs are calculated for a load, the costs of the load are
allocated to shipments proportionally. To enable freight cost calculation, the unit you select from this list must be used for freight order lines. Cost allocation based on Note Any additional costs are not included in the cost allocation process, only freight costs based on the invoicing methods are considered. Recalculation of Freight Costs Sometimes, you must recalculate freight costs if changes are
made to shipments or loads. This parameter determines how recalculation of
freight costs must be carried out. Interactive means that if changes are made to the load, shipments, or shipment lines, a
dialog appears asking whether LN should recalculate the freight costs. Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Recalculate freight costs. Recalculate Load Costs until Status LN performs automatic or interactive load cost recalculation as specified in the Recalculation of Freight Costs field for the load
statuses preceding the specified load status. Allowed values
Note Manually changing the freight costs or initiating freight cost recalculation is always allowed, regardless of the current field value. For more information, refer to Freight cost recalculation Performance aspects The setting of this field could affect system performance and database growth. For more information, refer to Recalculate freight costs. Freight Cost When Rates not Found The freight cost amount that must be applied when no applicable
freight rates exist in the Pricing module. Freight Cost When Rates not Found A generally accepted medium of exchange such as coins, treasury
notes, and banknotes. The following currency types are available in LN:
Freight Cost Component The cost component to be used for coverage lines and service-order other costs lines in Service that cover freight
costs. The freight costs are retrieved from Freight. The Freight cost components are of type General Costs.
