Freight Order Line Status Overview (fmfoc2601m000)

Use this session to maintain freight order lines for the selected freight order.

Similar to freight order headers, freight order lines are created manually or are generated, either automatically or by batch, from the following types of orders:

  • Sales
  • Purchase
  • Warehouse
  • Enterprise planning

When a freight order is created from an originating order, the order lines of the originating orders usually become the freight order lines of the freight order. Sometimes, however, more than one freight order is created from the originating order, or the freight order lines created from originating order lines are added to an existing freight order. This depends on the data of the originating orders and the existing freight orders. For more information, see Freight order maintenance.

You can offer freight order lines to a carrier to carry out the transportation of the goods listed on the freight order lines. When you offer freight order lines to a carrier, you can create a load plan for the freight order lines first using the load building engine, or you can offer the freight order lines without planning using the clustering functionality. For further information, see Subcontracting.

To create freight order lines manually

In this session you can add new freight order lines to a freight order. A freight order line includes the following data:

  • Item
  • Item quantity
  • Item dimensions
  • Transport details, such as route plan, transport type, and so on.
  • Costing details, such as delivery terms, service level and so on.

The freight order header and the corresponding freight order lines provide input for load building, freight costing, and freight order clustering.

Freight order line maintenance

The freight order status determines whether freight order lines can be changed or deleted.

If the originating order of a freight order is modified, these changes are reflected in freight order lines. Sometimes, freight orders or freight order lines are deleted and new freight orders are created. For more information, see Freight order maintenance.

Load Date Deviation

The number of days between the planned load date and the actual load date, including tolerances.

Day(s)

The number of hours between the planned load date and the actual load date, including tolerances. To determine the total load date deviation, add up the load date deviation days and hours.

Unload Date Deviation

The number of days between the planned unload date and the actual unload date, including tolerances.

Day(s)

The number of hours between the planned unload date and the actual unload date, including tolerances. To determine the total unload date deviation, add up the load date deviation days and hours.

Status
Blocked

If this check box is selected, the originating order line of the current freight order line is blocked. The freight order line cannot be processed.

Load Planning

If this check box is selected, the freight order line is available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the freight order type is available for freight order clustering.

Released to Warehousing

If this check box is selected, the originating order of the current freight order line is released to Warehousing. As a result, a warehousing order is created for the originating order. The progress through warehouse processing of the warehousing order lines that correspond with the current freight order line is shown on the freight order line by means of the freight order line status.

Freight Costs
Actual Freight Cost

If the freight order line is clustered, this field shows the actual freight costs for the freight order cluster to which the freight order line belongs. If the freight order line is planned using load building, this field shows the actual freight costs of the shipment or shipments that include the freight order line.

Estimated Freight Cost

If the freight order line is clustered, this field shows the estimated freight cost calculated for the freight order cluster to which the freight order line belongs. If the freight order line is planned using load building, this field shows the estimated freight costs of the shipment or shipments that include the freight order line. The currency in which the freight costs are expressed is the currency defined for the buy-from business partner of the carrier that transports the current freight order.

Actual Cost Final

If invoicing is based on a carrier invoice, this check box is selected automatically when the invoice from the carrier is matched and approved in Financials. If the freight order line is planned using load building, this check box is selected when all the lines of the shipment of the current freight order line are approved. If the freight order line is clustered, this check box is selected when all lines of the cluster of the current freight order line are approved.

If invoicing is not based on a carrier invoice, this check box is selected when the estimated costs for the load or the cluster to which the freight order line belongs is made actual and final.

Load, Shipment

Shipment Procedure

A procedure that is carried out when a warehouse order or a shipment is processed for transportation. In a shipment procedure, you can specify which transport documents (packing list, packing slip, or Bill of Lading) must be printed when the shipment is transported. For each shipment, a shipment procedure is defined. If a shipment obtains the Confirmed status, the documents specified in the shipment procedure are printed.

Freight Service Level

An entity that expresses the duration of transportation, such as: delivery within twelve hours. A freight service level (optional) is used as follows:

  • As a factor that determines the transportation costs of a load.
  • As a factor that determines the freight rate of a freight order.

If the originating order is a warehousing order, the value of the Reference field of the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session or the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session is defaulted in this field.

To be Replanned

If this check box is selected, the current freight order line must be replanned. If a freight order line was changed after a load plan was created for the freight order line, the freight order line must be replanned.

Single Shipment

If this check box is selected, a single shipment is created for the current freight order line. This shipment only includes shipment lines derived from the current freight order line. If the capacity of the vehicles defined for the applicable transport means group is insufficient, more shipments can be created to divide the goods over the required number of vehicles. However, even then the shipments will only contain shipment lines created from the current freight order line. A single shipment freight order line is planned as a single shipment, even if you select a different planning algorithm in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session. Single shipments are created by means of the direct shipping planning method. If a freight order line for which the SingleShipment check box is selected is clustered, the cluster is made up of this freight order line only. A freight order line is available for clustering if the LoadPlanning check box is cleared for the freight order line.
