Integrations in multicompany environments

For integrations in which LN tables are not shared, general rules determine how LN works in a multicompany Freight situation.

If a request for information reaches Freight, LN switches to the correct freight planning company and retrieves the required information. Likewise, if information must be updated in Freight, the correct freight planning company is selected in the process.

For example:

  • Update changes of the purchase or sales order line to the existing freight order line.
  • Update the In Progress status in Freight if the originating order is in progress in Warehousing.
  • Perform Freight capacity checks when composing loads or shipments in Warehousing.
  • Print orders with deviations in shipment dates from Purchase Control or Sales Control.
  • Display freight details from Purchase Control or Sales Control.

If Freight requires additional information for a freight order line, LN switches to the correct originating company to retrieve the required information. Likewise, if information must be updated in the originating company, Freight must select the correct originating company in the process.

For example:

  • Starting Warehousing sessions from Freight.
  • Starting Purchase Control or Sales Control sessions from Freight.
