Ignore freight order lines

In some situations, freight orders must be excluded from load building.

In Freight, you can exclude freight orders from load building in by setting the freight order to Ignored by means of the Set to Ignored command on the appropriate menu of the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session. You can use the Set to Ignored command if the freight order cannot be deleted at the originating order. For more information, refer to To delete freight orders from the originating order.

If a freight order line is set to Ignored, this information is passed on to the Freight Order Line Status Overview (fmfoc2601m000) session. You can access the Freight Order Line Status Overview (fmfoc2601m000) session by selecting the Freight Details option on the appropriate menu on the line section of the Sales Order (tdsls4100m900) session, or the Freight Details option of the Purchase Order Lines (tdpur4101m000) session. For originating outbound warehousing order lines, this information is displayed in the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. For inbound order lines, this information is displayed on the Inbound Order Lines (whinh2110m000) session.

Availability of the Set to Ignored command

The availability of the Set to Ignored command is subject to various conditions that relate to the status of the freight order lines and the relations of the freight order lines to freight order clusters, load plans, and so on.

To set freight order lines to Ignored, the freight order lines must meet the following conditions:

Expected freight order lines

You can set freight order lines with the Expected status to Ignored. If the freight order lines are related to a freight order cluster with a status lower than Subcontracted, the related freight order cluster line is deleted. If the status of the freight order cluster is Actual, the Cluster Changed check box is selected. If the cluster has cluster lines with the Ignored status, you must delete these cluster lines before you can set the freight order lines to Ignored.

Planned or Actual freight order lines

If Planned or Actual freight order lines are related to shipment lines with the Ignored status, you must delete these shipment lines before you can set the freight order lines to Ignored.

Freight order lines that you cannot set to Ignored

You cannot set freight order lines to Ignored if one or more of the following conditions applies:

  • Status
    You cannot set freight order lines to Ignored if their status is higher than Actual.
  • Subcontracted cluster or load
    You cannot set freight order lines to Ignored if they are included in freight order clusters whose status is Subcontracted. In addition, you cannot set Actual freight order lines to Ignored that are included in a load whose status is Subcontracted.
Remove Ignored freight order lines

You can remove Ignored freight order lines in the Remove Freight Orders (fmfoc2200m000) session, but the freight order lines must not be removed as long as the related warehousing orders are still in progress, because otherwise you cannot see that the freight order line is Ignored.

You can remove Ignored freight order lines if the following conditions apply to the Ignored freight order lines:

  • A warehousing order is related to the Ignored freight order lines.
  • The related outbound order lines must have the Shipped status.
  • The related inbound order lines must have a final receipt.
