To modify load plans using the Plan Board (fmlbd0215m000)

In the Plan Board (fmlbd0215m000) session, you can make changes to the following objects:

Load plans
Loads
Shipment
Shipment lines

For these objects, you can perform activities such as copy, add, or delete, but you can also change the details of the object.

Move object

To move objects in the Loads and Shipments pane. For example, to move a shipment to another load, or to change the order in which the shipments are positioned within a load. See Load composition - moving objects.

Copy object

To copy an object, select the object and select the duplicate icon on the toolbar. This option is available in each pane of the Plan Board (fmlbd0215m000) session.

Change object details

To change the details of an object in the Loads and Shipments pane, you must access the relevant maintenance session. For example, to change the details of a shipment, right-click the shipment and select Details in the context menu to start the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session.

The options on the context menu are also available on the appropriate menu.

Add shipment line, shipment, or load

In the Loads and Shipments pane, right-click the load, shipment, or shipment line to which you want to add the object.
Select the available Add option in the context menu.

For example, to add a shipment to a load, right-click the load in the Loads and Shipments pane, and select Add a New Shipment on the context menu. In the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session, specify the required shipment data.

The load data is defaulted from the selected load. After saving the new shipment in the Shipments (fmlbd3100m000) session, the shipment is displayed in the Loads and Shipments pane.

Add freight order line to plan

To add a freight order line to the plan displayed in the Loads and Shipments pane, drag the freight order line from the Freight Orders pane to the Loads and Shipments pane. This adds the freight order line to the plan and launches the replanning process for the freight order line. See Replan separately or include in Planned freight orders.

Delete object

To delete an object, click the object and select the delete icon on the toolbar. This option is available in each pane of the Plan Board (fmlbd0215m000) session.

If an object is deleted, this can result in recalculation of the freight costs of the load structure from which the object is deleted. This is similar to freight cost recalculation of the originating object after an object is moved. See Load composition - moving objects.

Note: You can only delete load plans without loads, shipments, and shipment lines. See Load plan, load, and shipment maintenance.

Remove shipment line from plan

To remove a shipment line from a load plan, drag the shipment line from the Load and Shipments pane to the Freight Orders pane.

Make load plan Actual

To make a load plan Actual, highlight the load plan in the Plans pane and from the appropriate menu, click Actualize Plan.

Calculate freight costs

If you change a load plan, for example by adding or removing shipments, you can consider recalculating the freight costs for the load plan. To calculate the freight costs for a load plan, right-click the load plan and select Calculate Freight Costs on the context menu.

You can also calculate the freight costs of loads, shipments, and shipment lines.
