Freight Order (fmfoc2100m100)

Use this session to view, maintain and process the following data:

For freight orders flagged for freight order clustering, cluster lines are shown, and for freight orders flagged for load building, shipment lines are shown.

Note
  • Use the Maps section to view the location of the Address and the Address. You must select only one record at a time.
  • Use the Workload tab to view a graph presenting the freight order lines to be handled currently or in the future. Various options are available to select and present the freight order lines. See The Transport Workload graph

In the header of this session, you can maintain freight order header data. Using the relevant options from the appropriate menu, you can generate load plans or freight order clusters. The satellites refer to the following sessions:

  • Lines
    The Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session, in which you can view and maintain the freight order lines of the current freight order header.
  • Lines to be Replanned
    The Freight Order Lines to Be Replanned (fmlbd0120m000) session, in which you can view freight order lines that you must replan as a result of changes in the freight order or freight order lines.
  • Shipment Lines
    The Shipment Lines (fmlbd3150m000) session, in which you can view and maintain the shipment lines resulting from the load plans generated from the current freight order.
  • Cluster Lines
    Freight Order Cluster Lines (fmfoc3101m000) session, in which you can view and maintain the cluster lines resulting from the freight order clusters generated from the current freight order.

Freight Order
Order

The identifying number of the current freight order.

Order Type

A code used to identify and group freight orders.

Load Planning

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

Status

The status of the current freight order.

Single Shipment

If this check box is selected, all freight order lines of the current freight order are grouped into a single shipment, without order lines from other freight orders, if you use the load building functionality to plan the freight order.

If the capacity of the transport means group is insufficient, LN can create additional shipments to distribute the goods across the required number of vehicles. However, even then, the shipments will only contain shipment lines created from the freight order lines of the current freight order.

This check box is automatically selected and unavailable in the following situations:

  • The current freight order is generated from a warehousing order with a warehousing order type for which the Single Order per Shipment check box is selected.
  • The current freight order is generated from a sales order whose order type is associated with a warehousing order type for which the Single Order per Shipment check box is selected.
  • The current freight order is generated from a sales order whose order type not associated with a warehousing order type, but the Single Order per Shipment check box is selected for the default warehousing order type of the sales order. You can define default warehousing types in the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session.

For all other instances of freight orders generated from originating orders, this check box is unavailable and the value is taken from the Single Shipment Order check box in the Freight Order Type - Defaults (fmfmd0165m000) session.

You can change the setting of this check box for freight orders created manually that are not yet being processed.

LN creates single shipments by means of the direct shipping planning method, and also creates single shipments for route plans and standard routes. A single shipment freight order is planned as a single shipment, even if you select a different planning algorithm in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session.

If a freight order for which the SingleShipment check box is selected is clustered, the cluster is made up entirely of freight order lines that belong to this freight order. A freight order is available for clustering if the LoadPlanning check box is cleared for the freight order.

Information
Shipping Office

A department that is responsible for the organization of transportation for one or more warehouses. When goods are moved from or to a warehouse, the responsible shipping office plans the transportation of these goods or subcontracts the transportation of the goods. In direct delivery scenarios, the shipping office provides planning or transport subcontracting services for external suppliers or customers.

In Freight, a shipping office plays a key role in load building and freight order clustering. Freight orders are grouped by shipping office. The groups of freight orders by shipping office are used by the load building engine to build shipments and loads, or by the freight order clustering engine to build freight order clusters.

Order Date

Change Shipping Office

Use this command to change the shipping office for the current freight order. You can choose a shipping office from another freight planning company. If you select another shipping office, the existing freight order lines are deleted and new freight orders and freight order lines are generated for the originating order line attributes. In this process, the selected shipping office will be used and a new planning group will be assigned to the freight order lines. The new freight order number and freight order line is updated in the originating order lines. The original freight order (header) remains and can be reused or deleted manually.
