Assign Standard Route / Route Plan to Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2280m000)

Use this session to assign standard routes and route plans to freight order lines.

The purpose is to create load plans for the freight order lines with the assigned standard routes or route plans.

When the assignment process is run, a route plan or standard route is assigned to a freight order line if:

  • The status of the freight order line is Expected.
  • The ship-from and ship-to addresses of the related freight order header match the addresses of the standard route or route plan.

If you select a range of route plans or standard routes in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session, a load plan is created for the freight order lines to which the selected route plans or standard routes are assigned.

To assign standard routes or route plans to freight order lines:

  1. In the Standard Route / Route Plan field, specify whether to assign standard routes or route plans to freight order lines.
  2. In the fields of the Selection Range group box, select the freight order lines to which to assign standard routes or route plans.
  3. Select additional assignment options and print options.
  4. Click Assign.

 

Standard Route / Route Plan

The object to be assigned to the selected freight order lines.

Allowed values

  • Standard Route
  • Route Plan

Use the fields of the Selection Range group box to select the freight order lines to which to assign standard routes or route plans.

Freight Order

A commission to transport a particular number of goods. A freight order includes an order header and one or more order lines.

A freight order header includes some general information, such as the delivery date and the name and address of the customer who is to receive the goods listed on the freight order.

A freight order line includes an item to be transported and some details about the item, such as the quantity and the dimensions.

Line

A freight order entry. Freight order lines include information about an item to be transported entered on a freight order. A freight order line originates from a purchase-, sales-, warehouse-, or planned distribution order, or can be created manually.

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.

Planning Group

An entity that is used to group freight order lines into shipments and loads or freight order clusters.

Each freight order line is allocated to a planning group. Freight order lines with different planning groups cannot be in the same shipment, load, or freight order cluster. For example, all goods destined for Belgium are subdivided into planning group Belgium.

From a hierarchical perspective, the planning group is one level below the shipping office. A shipping office has one or more planning groups. Freight orders are grouped into shipping offices, the underlying freight order lines are grouped into the planning groups of the shipping office.

Planned Load Date

The planned loading date of the freight orders.

Planned Unload Date

The planned unloading date of the freight orders.

Check Carrier/TMG/TMC Availability

If this check box is selected, a standard route is assigned if the loading capacity of the carriers, transport means groups, or transport means combinations defined for the standard route is sufficient to transport the goods listed on the selected freight order lines.
