When a Carrier/LSP or Route is specified in the Warehousing Orders (whinh2100m000) session or a planned load/shipment is available for a shipment in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session, a generated shipment has a corresponding load in the current session. This load contains the freight forwarding data as defined in the warehousing order. Use this session to add or change necessary forwarding data.

Note
  • To generate loading lists, from the appropriate menu, select Loading List.
  • If the warehousing order for which the load is created has one of the following warehousing order type settings, information about the warehousing order is displayed in the Order tab of the details session:

    • Single Order Set per Shipment
    • Single Order per Shipment
    • Single Order per Load
  • This session allows you to access the Process Pro Forma Invoices (whinh4279m000) session using the Process Pro Forma Invoices option from the Action menu.
    • This option is enabled only if the selected (single) load is set to status Frozen or Confirmed.
    • If a load with multiple shipments is selected, only the shipments with status Frozen or Confirmed are considered for the processing of the pro forma invoices.
  • This session allows you to access the Process Invoices (whinh4279m100) session using the Process Invoices option from the Action menu.
    • This option is enabled only if the selected (single) load is set to status Confirmed.
    • If a load with multiple shipments is selected, only the shipments with status Confirmed are considered for the processing of the standard (definitive) invoice.

An overview of loads, shipping containers, and shipments by warehousing orders is available in the Warehousing Order Loads and Shipments (whinh4545m000) session.

Status

The load's status.

Allowed values

Shipment Status

Note

The load status Projected is not applicable if the check box Projected Shipments in use is not selected in Inventory Handling Parameters (whinh0100m000) session.

The value of the Status field is always derived.

  • A site is linked to one planning cluster. Consequently, all warehouses and work centers of a site must belong to the same planning cluster.
  • A site is linked to one logistic company.

You can link a site to an enterprise unit or an enterprise unit to a site.

If an enterprise unit is linked to a site, the entities of the site belong to the enterprise unit. Conversely, if a site is linked to an enterprise unit, the entities of the enterprise unit belong to the site.

The total weight of a load increases if new shipments or shipment lines are added to the load. If the total weight exceeds the maximum weight specified in this field while you are composing loads in the Compose Load (whinh4134m000) session, or creating manual shipments and shipment lines to the load, you are prompted to approve exceeding the maximum weight.

Weight Unit
