Linking a shipment to a load in Warehousing

Various criteria are used to link a shipment to a load.

Normally, a shipment is linked to a load for which the following data matches the warehousing order line data of the shipment:

  • Route
  • Planned delivery date
  • Carrier/LSP

If any of the following conditions apply as well, the shipments are aggregated into more than one load:

  • Different ship-from addresses on the originating (sales) order lines.

  • The Single Order per Load check box is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. For more information, refer to Shipping structures.

  • The Single Ship-to Code per Load check box is selected in the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

  • The goods picked for a load exceed the maximum weight specified for the load in the Maximum Weight field of the Loads (whinh4140m000) session.

Note: If the ship-from type of the warehousing order is a warehouse, narrow shipment time intervals specified for the warehouse will cause fewer shipments to be aggregated into the same load than wide ranges. For more information, refer to Add Orders Based On.
