To define loading and unloading date/time tolerances

In both the Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session and the Freight Order Control Parameters (fmfoc0100m000) session, you can define the following tolerances:

  • Earliest load and unload tolerances.
  • Latest load and unload tolerances.

You can enter a quantity and a user-definable time unit in the tolerance fields, which enables LN to determine the earliest and latest loading and unloading dates/times automatically. The earliest and latest dates/times are calculated as follows:

Earliest load date = planned load date - earliest load date tolerance

Latest load date = planned load date + latest load date tolerance

Earliest unload date = planned unload date - earliest unload date tolerance

Latest unload date = planned unload date + latest unload date tolerance

In addition, the calendar of the ship-from address is taken into account for loading dates/times. For unloading dates/times, the calendar of the ship-to address is taken into account. If no calendar is defined for these addresses, the company calendar is referred to.

The earliest and latest loading and unloading dates/times are displayed in the earliest and latest loading and unloading date fields of the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session.
