Replan separately or include in Planned freight orders

The Replanning of Freight Orders parameter in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session controls the way in which the changed freight order lines are replanned. In the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session, you can select the load plan in which the changed freight order lines must be included.

In the Replanning of Freight Orders parameter, these options are available:

  • Replan Freight Order Lines Separately

    New shipment lines are created for the freight order lines that are replanned. The new shipment lines are added to existing loads and shipments of the load plan if they match with the existing loads and shipments. If the new shipment lines do not match, new shipments and loads must be created for the replanned freight order lines.

    When changed freight order lines are replanned separately, a new carrier can be selected. As a result, the load plan in which the replanned freight order lines are included, can be less cost-effective. On the other hand, the impact on the load plan is minimal. This could be useful for Actual load plans.

  • Combine with Planned Freight Orders

    The freight order lines that must be replanned, are matched with freight order lines that are already included in the load plan, and for these combined lines replanning is carried out. As a result, new shipment lines are created. If the new shipment lines match existing shipments, these new lines are inserted in the existing shipments. If not, new shipments and/or loads must be created. If the freight order lines that must be replanned match many of the freight order lines already included in the plan, this planning option can have a significant impact on the plan.

Note

Some of the shipments of an Actual load plan can have obtained the In Progress status. Freight order lines that must be replanned cannot be matched with freight order lines that are related to shipments with the In Progress status. In such cases, combined planning cannot be performed.
