Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m100)
Use this session to view all the freight orders that exist for a shipping office/planning group combination.
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.

The current status of the freight order line.
- 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 Group
-
The transport means group required for the current freight order line. For the transport means group that you select in this field, the Independent Use Allowed check box must be selected. Note that if you select a transport means group, you cannot select a transport means combination. If a transport means combination is selected, you cannot select a transport means group.
- Means of Transport
-
The means of transport that must transport the goods listed on the current freight order line. You can select a Means of Transport that belongs to the Transport Means Group defined for the current freight order line. If no Transport Means Group is selected in the Transport Means Group field or if no Means of Transport is defined for the selected , this field is disabled.
- Transport Type
-
The transport type required for the current freight order line. If a transport means combination or a transport means group is selected in the current session and a transport type exists for the transport means group or transport means combination, the transport type is taken from the transport means combination or transport means group. You must not change this value.
- Combination Code
-
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.
