Freight Costs Inquiry (fmfrc0540m000)This session provides an overview of the Estimated Freight Cost of a Shipment, Load, or Freight Order Cluster. This depends on whether you accessed this session from the Loads (fmlbd4100m000) session, the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session, or the Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3100m000) session. The estimated freight costs can consist of the following elements, which are displayed in this session:
If you access this session from the Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3100m000) session, the freight cost details of the freight order cluster are shown. If you access this session from the Loads (fmlbd4100m000) session or the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session, the freight costs that are displayed are determined by the Rating Level of the shipment or load whose freight costs you are viewing. Rating level: Load If the Rating Level is Load and you accessed this session from a Load, the freight costs of the current Load are displayed. If the Rating Level is Load and you accessed this session from a Shipment, the freight costs of the Load to which the current Shipment belongs are displayed. Shipment If the rating level is Shipment and you accessed this session from a Load, a list of the shipments of the Load is displayed. Select a Shipment and click Open Read Only to view the freight costs of the selected Shipment. If the rating level is Shipment and you accessed this session from a Shipment, the freight costs of the Shipment are displayed. Note The currency used to express the freight costs in the current session is the currency defined for the buy-from business partner of the carrier selected for the current load, shipment, or freight order cluster.
Load If the current Rating Level is Load, this field displays the Load for which the current freight cost information is displayed. If the current Rating Level is Shipment, this field displays the Load to which the Shipment belongs for which the current freight cost information is displayed. Shipment The Shipment whose freight cost information is displayed. This field is filled when the Rating Level is Shipment. Minimum Amount The Minimum Amount defined in the freight rate book that is used to calculate the current estimated freight costs. The Freight Rate Book Code of the freight rate book that was used to calculate the current estimated freight costs is displayed in the Freight Rate Book Code field in the General tab of this session. Freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. The value in this field is 0.00 if one of the following applies:
Fixed Amount The Fixed Amount defined in the freight rate book that is used to calculate the current estimated freight costs. The Freight Rate Book Code of the freight rate book that was used to calculate the current estimated freight costs is displayed in the Freight Rate Book Code field in the General tab of this session. Freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. The value in this field is 0.00 if one of the following applies:
Amount by Distance The Amount byDistance of the freight rate book used to calculate the current estimated freight costs. The Freight Rate Book Code of the freight rate book that was used to calculate the current estimated freight costs is displayed in the Freight Rate Book Code field in the General tab of this session. Freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. The value in this field is 0.00 if one of the following applies:
Amount by Weight The Amount byWeight of the freight rate book used to calculate the current estimated freight costs. The Freight Rate Book Code of the freight rate book that was used to calculate the current estimated freight costs is displayed in the Freight Rate Book Code field in the General tab of this session. Freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. The value in this field is 0.00 if one of the following applies:
Distance The aggregated distance on which the current freight cost calculation is based. The aggregated distance is calculated by adding up the distances between the ship-from and ship-to addresses, and, if applicable, any standard route or route plan addresses. These distances are defined in the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session and/or the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session. Note In the Free Distance field of the Freight Rate Books (tdpcg0116m000) session, you can view the distance for which there is no charge in the Freight Rate Book Code. Distance Unit The distance unit used to express the distance for which the estimated freight costs are calculated. Rate Basis Number The rate basis number used to retrieve the freight rate book that was used to calculate the current freight costs. Zone Type The Zone Type on which the freight rate used to calculate the current freight costs is based. Allowed values Zone The zone used to calculate the estimated freight costs of the current Shipment, Load or Freight Order Cluster. Freight Cost The freight costs based on the freight rate or freight rates retrieved from the relevant freight rate book of the Pricing module. The Freight Rate Book Code of the applicable freight rate book is displayed in the Freight Rate Book Code field in the General tab of this session. For loads and shipments, freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. If no freight rate was used, or if more than one freight rate was used, the value in this field is 0.00. Rating Level The level for which freight rates are used to calculate freight costs. The rating levels are shipment, load, or freight order cluster. If the rating level is load, the costs are proportionately allocated to shipments. If the rating level is shipment, the costs are aggregated to the load, and if the rating level is freight order cluster, the freight costs are calculated for clusters; no allocation to other entities takes place. Rating levels are defined in the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session. In the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session, you can set the rating level for a carrier that is associated to a particular shipping office and planning group. Loads and shipments that are related to this shipping office/planning group combination and carrier, receive the rating level defined for the carrier. When calculating freight costs for a cluster, LN notices that load building has not been carried out, so no loads or shipments are created and therefore LN sets the rating level to Freight Order Cluster. Estimated Freight Cost The currency by which the estimated freight costs of the current Shipment or Load are expressed. For loads and shipments, freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. If no freight rate was used, or if more than one freight rate was used, and these freight rates have different currencies, this field is empty. This does not apply to freight order clusters, because pricing criteria are included in the freight order clustering process. As a result, only one freight rate book can be related to a freight order cluster. Freight Rate Source When a rate is used to calculate the freight costs of a Load, Shipment, or Freight Order Cluster, the freight rate book where the rate is stored is displayed. Freight rate books are maintained in Pricing. If the freight costs were entered manually, the value in this field is Manual. For loads and shipments, freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. If no freight rate was used, or if more than one freight rate was used, this field is empty. This does not apply to freight order clusters, because pricing criteria are included in the freight order clustering process. As a result, only one freight rate book can be related to a freight order cluster. Plan Matrix Definition When a freight rate is used to calculate the freight costs for a Load, a Shipment or a Freight Order Cluster, the Plan Matrix Definition used to determine the freight rate is displayed. Matrix definitions are stored in Pricing. For loads and shipments, freight rates from more than one freight rate book of Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. If no freight rate was used, or if more than one freight rate was used, this field is empty. This does not apply to freight order clusters, because pricing criteria are included in the freight order clustering process. As a result, only one freight rate book can be related to a freight order cluster. Freight Rate Book Code The Freight Rate Book Code of the freight rate book that is used to calculate the current estimated freight costs. For loads and shipments, freight rates from more than one freight rate book in Pricing can be used to calculate the freight costs. If no freight rate was used, or if more than one freight rate was used, this field is empty. This does not apply to freight order clusters, because pricing criteria are included in the freight order clustering process. As a result, only one freight rate book can be related to a freight order cluster. Carrier/LSP The Carrier/LSP whose rates are used to calculate the estimated freight costs of the current Shipment, Load, or Freight Order Cluster. Estimated Freight Cost The estimated freight costs of the current Shipment, Load, or Freight Order Cluster. Additional Costs The additional costs calculated for the current Load, Shipment, or Freight Order Cluster. Manually Added Cost The manually added freight costs of the current Shipment, Load, or Freight Order Cluster. Calculated freight costs can be overwritten by manually entered freight costs. If the manually entered amount is higher than the calculated freight cost amount, the amount by which the calculated amount is incereased is shown. Example
If the manually entered amount is lower than the calculated freight cost amount, the amount by which the calculated amount is decreased is shown as a negative figure. Example
Weight The aggregated weight on which the current estimated freight cost calculation is based. Weight Unit The unit used to express the aggregated weight on which the current freight cost calculation is based. Amount by Additional Rate Unit The Amount byAdditional Rate Unit of the freight rate book used to calculate the current estimated freight costs. The Freight Rate Book Code of the freight rate book that was used to calculate the current estimated freight costs is displayed in the Freight Rate Book Code field in the General tab of this session. To calculate the freight costs for a particular load or shipment, more than one freight rate book can be used to retrieve the amounts from Pricing. The value in this field is 0.00 if one of the following applies:
Also, more than one additional rate unit can be used to calculate the freight costs. If the additional rate units have the same physical quantity volume, area or length, the additional rate quantity is converted to one unit. In other cases the additional rate quantity is made 0.0 and the additional rate unit is not filled. This does not apply to freight order clusters, because pricing criteria are included in the freight order clustering process. As a result, only one freight rate book can be related to a freight order cluster. Additional Rate Quantity/Unit The aggregated additional rate quantity by unit of the current Load, Shipment, or Freight Order Cluster for which the current freight cost calculation is performed. To calculate the freight costs for a particular load or shipment, more than one additional rate unit can be used to retrieve the amounts from Pricing. If the additional rate units have the same physical quantity volume, area, or length, the additional rate quantity is converted to one unit. In other cases the additional rate quantity is made 0.0 and the additional rate unit is not filled.
