Shipping Office (fmfmd0680m000)
Use this session to view and maintain shipping offices.
To use a Shipping Office for load building and freight order clustering purposes, you must link the shipping office to:
- Warehouses
- Planning groups
- Matrix definitions
Optionally, you can link carriers to a shipping office.
You can link a shipping office to various warehouses, but you can only link a warehouse to one shipping office.
Only authorized users can use planning groups and shipping offices to build shipments and loads or to cluster freight orders. Authorizations are given for combinations of shipping offices and planning groups in the Users by Shipping Office and Planning Group (fmfoc1105m000) session. However, if the External updates on actual plans allowed check box is selected in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session, unauthorized users can change plan and order data for actual load plans.
If the Route Plans by Shipping Office and Planning Group and the Standard Routes by Shipping Office and Planning Group check boxes are selected in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session, you must link route plans and standard routes to the current shipping office and planning group in the Route Plans and Standard Routes tabs.
Authorizations
In the Users by Shipping Office and Planning Group (fmfoc1105m000) session, you can maintain user authorizations for shipping offices and planning groups. If you link a user logon code to a combination of a shipping office and a planning group, the user is authorized for this combination.
