Generate Rough Planning (fmrpg1200m000)

Transport capacity requirement overviews are based on aggregated volume, weight, and floor space figures of selected freight orders for a time span defined by the user. The volume, weight, and floor space figures can be presented in selected measuring units. You can print daily, weekly, and monthly requirement reports over a selected period.

The procedure to create transport capacity requirement overviews includes the following steps:

1. Select the freight orders on which you want the overview to be based.
2. Select the preferred type of overview: capacity report or on-screen display.

Freight order range

To select the range of freight orders on which the overview is based, you can use the following selection criteria:

• Shipping Office
• Planning Group
• Freight Order
• Transport Means Group
• Planned load and delivery dates
• Ship-from and ship-to addresses
• From Item
• Freight Service Level

For each of these criteria, you must enter a range.

Overviews: capacity reports and on-screen displays

After you specify the range of freight orders for your overview, you can select the preferred output: capacity report or on-screen display. Capacity reports can be printed immediately and on-screen displays appear as forms on your screen. For both the reports and the on-screen displays, the following information is available:

• Planned Load Date
• Transport Means Group
• Volume
• Weight
• Floor Space

If you select the Include Actual Freight Orders check box, Expected, Planned, and Actual freight orders are aggregated in the total weight, volume, and floor space requirements displayed in your overview.

Capacity reports

To select capacity reports, on the Options tab, select the Capacity Report option in the Consolidate Planning on group box. After you click Generate and select the preferred device in the Select Device dialog box, another dialog box opens, in which you can select a report option. For capacity reports, the following options are available:

• Daily Capacity Requirements
• Weekly Capacity Requirements
• Capacity Requirements by TMG by Week
• Monthly Capacity Requirements
• Capacity Requirements by TMG by Month

Daily/Weekly/Monthly Capacity Requirements reports show the following information:

• Planned Load Date
• Transport Means Group
• Volume
• Weight
• Floor Space

The daily capacity requirement reports also show the following information:

• TMG required for Expected FO: The total number of vehicles required for freight orders with the Expected and Planned statuses.
• TMG required for Planned FO: The total number of vehicles required for freight orders with the Actual status.

The Capacity Requirements by TMG by Week/Month reports show the following information:

• Planned Load Date
• Volume
• Weight
• Floor Space
• TMG required for Expected FO. Under this heading, the aggregated number of means of transport for freight orders with the Expected and Planned statuses is shown.
• TMG required for planned freight orders This column shows the aggregated means of transport for freight orders with the Actual status, if the Include Actual Freight Orders check box is selected.
• Total TMG required This column shows the total number of means of transport required.

On-screen displays

To select on-screen displays, select the preferred option: weekly or monthly overview on the Consolidate Planning on group box. To include Actual freight orders in your overview, select the Include Actual Freight Orders check box. Actual refers to the Actual freight order status.

On-screen displays show transport requirements for each combination of shipping office, planning group and transport means group. For on-screen displays, monthly and weekly statements are available. The columns show the following information:

• Means of Transport for Expected Orders

  The number of vehicles required for freight orders with the Expected and Planned statuses.

• Means of Transport for Actual Orders

  The number of vehicles required for freight orders with the Actual status.

• Total Means of Transport Required

  The total number of vehicles required.

• Available per day

  The available number of means of transport per day.

If you double-click a line in an on-screen display, the capacity requirements per weight, floor space, and volume are displayed as well. The total number of available MOT is derived from the Transport Means Groups by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0152m000) session, where the number of available means of transport per transport means group and per carrier are maintained.
