To subcontract planned loads to a carrier, proceed as follows:
- Start the Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000) session.
- In the Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000), select the Load option.
- Select the loads for which you want to print subcontracting
instructions using the selection criteria and the printing options as explained
in Print Subcontracting Instructions (fmfoc3410m000).
- Click Print.
You can print pro forma versions of the subcontracting
instructions first. After both parties have agreed upon the instructions, you
can print the final version. You can reprint the final version as often as you
want, but you cannot change the contents of the final version. When the final
instructions are printed for a load, the Subcontracted check box on the load is selected.
Final subcontracting instructions can only be printed for a load that has at
least the Actual status.
EDI Messages
If an EDI relation is set up with the buy-from business partner
of the carrier, an EDI message is generated to notify the carrier of the
subcontracting order when the final version of the subcontracting instructions
is printed. An EDI message can be generated for a load with shipments and
shipment lines and for a freight order cluster with freight order cluster
lines.
