Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000)

Use this session to maintain freight order lines for the selected freight order.

Similar to freight order headers, freight order lines are created manually or are generated, either automatically or by batch, from the following types of orders:

Sales
Purchase
Warehouse
Enterprise planning

When a freight order is created from an originating order, the order lines of the originating orders usually become the freight order lines of the freight order. Sometimes, however, more than one freight order is created from the originating order, or the freight order lines created from originating order lines are added to an existing freight order. This depends on the data of the originating orders and the existing freight orders. For more information, see Freight order maintenance.

You can offer freight order lines to a carrier to carry out the transportation of the goods listed on the freight order lines. When you offer freight order lines to a carrier, you can create a load plan for the freight order lines first using the load building engine, or you can offer the freight order lines without planning using the clustering functionality. For further information, see Subcontracting.

To create freight order lines manually

In this session you can add new freight order lines to a freight order. A freight order line includes the following data:

Item
Item quantity
Item dimensions
Transport details, such as route plan, transport type, and so on.
Costing details, such as delivery terms, service level and so on.

The freight order header and the corresponding freight order lines provide input for load building, freight costing, and freight order clustering.

Freight order line maintenance

The freight order status determines whether freight order lines can be changed or deleted.

If the originating order of a freight order is modified, these changes are reflected in freight order lines. Sometimes, freight orders or freight order lines are deleted and new freight orders are created. For more information, see Freight order maintenance.

Carrier/LSP Binding

If this check box is selected, the load building engine will not overwrite the carrier you select in this field. As a rule, the load building engine overwrites the carrier you select in this field, if it finds another carrier that offers lower prices and/or a more favorable planning scope. If you want to impose a carrier for a specific order line and you do not want the load building engine to change the carrier, you can select the Carrier/LSP Binding check box. If the freight order line is clustered, the carrier in the Carrier/LSP field is not overwritten during the clustering process, but the user can, if required, manually change the carrier after the clustering process is carried out. A freight order line is available for clustering if the Load Planning check box is cleared for the freight order line.

This field is disabled if no carrier is selected in the Carrier/LSP field. The value in this field is defaulted from the originating order, if defined there. For direct deliveries, the value is taken from the sales order.

Transport Means Combination

Transport means combination.

If a transport means group is selected in the Transport Means Group field, you cannot select a transport means combination. If a carrier is inserted for the current freight order line, the transport means combination must be attached to this carrier.

The combination code required for the current freight order line. If a transport means group or transport means combination is inserted for the current freight order line, the combination code of the freight order line must be the same as the combination code of the selected transport means group or transport means combination, unless the selected transport means group or transport means combination has no combination code.

Distance

The distance between the ship-from and the ship-to address. For this field, LN can generate a default distance or you can manually enter a distance.

The default distance is generated from the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session or the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session of the Common package. If a Standard Route or a Route Plan is entered for the current freight order line, the distance is calculated by adding up the distances of the Standard Route or each of the individual legs of the Route Plan.

The default distance is used for freight planning and freight cost calculation. Manually entered distances are only used to calculate freight costs. Thus, in situations where you want to charge freight costs that are not based on the normal distances defined in LN, you can manually enter a distance in this field.

Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN creates a unique shipment for each shipment reference number. In other words, a shipment reference will not occur again in another shipment for this business partner. For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Note: LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Single Shipment Reference per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN allows the creation of multiple shipments for the same Shipment Reference. On the other hand, a shipment may not contain different shipment references. For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Note: LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Single Delivery Point per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN groups the outbound advices that have the same delivery point, as shipment lines, in one shipment. A shipment may not contain deliveries to multiple delivery points, unless other shipment building criteria require this. For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Note: LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Single Customer Order per Shipment

If this check box is selected, LN selects or creates the shipments for the freight order line based on the customer order number. LN creates a single shipment for each customer order number.

If this check box is selected,:

LN searches for an existing shipment that can be used to ship the goods.
If an existing shipment is not found, LN creates a new shipment for freight order line.

For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Note:

LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.
If the Ship-from Type is not a Warehouse, the customer order number is not displayed.

Single Line per Shipment

If this check box is selected, only one shipment line is generated below the shipment. The shipment line is generated during the creation of freight planning.

Shipment Reference

The shipment reference based on which the goods are picked up from the supplier location. The shipment reference, among other criteria, determines how the goods issued/picked up from the supplier warehouse are grouped into shipments. The items that have the same Shipment Reference must be grouped into one shipment to the customer. In the automotive business this is called a Pickup Sheet (PUS) process. For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Note:

The field is retrieved from the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session.

Customer Order

The customer order number based on which the goods are picked up from the supplier location. All the shipment lines that have the same customer number are combined into a single shipment. If an existing shipment is not found, LN creates a new shipment for freight order line.

For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Single Order per Load

If this check box is selected, a load can only contain shipment lines generated for all warehouse order sets within one and the same warehouse order. If kit handling is used, the load contains subkits that belong to the same topkit.

Single Ship-To Code per Load

If this check box is selected, LN creates loads that have shipments for only one ship-to code. By default, the check box is clear. For more information, refer to Shipment building in Freight.

Note: LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session.

Single Shipment per Load

If this check box is selected, LN creates loads that have only one shipment. This is to accomplish that one advance shipment notice can be created for each bill of lading.

The value of this check box is taken from the Single Shipment per Load check box of the warehousing order type of the warehousing order from which the current freight order line is built.

Originating Order

The office type of the related order.

Single Shipment

If this check box is selected, a single shipment is created for the current freight order line. This shipment only includes shipment lines derived from the current freight order line. If the capacity of the vehicles defined for the applicable transport means group is insufficient, more shipments can be created to divide the goods over the required number of vehicles. However, even then the shipments will only contain shipment lines created from the current freight order line. A single shipment freight order line is planned as a single shipment, even if you select a different planning algorithm in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session. Single shipments are created by means of the direct shipping planning method. If a freight order line for which the Single Shipment check box is selected is clustered, the cluster is made up of this freight order line only. A freight order line is available for clustering if the Load Planning check box is cleared for the freight order line.

Route

The route entered on the originating order. The default value is taken from the freight order header.

Route Plan

The route plan in this field is a default value that is taken from the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session. The route plan that you manually enter in a freight order line is used by the load building engine to create a load plan, regardless of the planning algorithm used. If you enter different route plans in the freight order lines of a freight order, the load building engine builds separate loads for each route plan. If you want to use a particular Route Plan to build a load plan for the current freight order line, you must enter this Route Plan in this field. To use the load building engine to select the most cost-effective and efficient route, the Route Plan field in the freight order header and freight order lines must be left empty.
