Integration Sales and Freight

Integration between Freight Order Control and Sales

In Freight Order Control, these types of planning are available:

• Rough planning, which is used for long-term capacity planning.
• Load building, which is the actual execution time plan of the shipments and loads. To ship the goods, Freight Order Control must know the shipments that must be moved over a period of time. If a freight order is created from Sales, the progress of the shipment and loads can be exchanged and information can be shared between Freight Order Control and Sales.

Integration between freight invoicing and sales invoicing

Based on the Rate and Carrier/LSP Selection at Order Line parameter in the Freight Rates and Costs Parameters (fmfrc0100m000) session, during sales order entry or sales quotation entry, a carrier is automatically or manually selected. Several factors, such as invoicing method, item, freight class, service level, transport type, and transport means group, determine the freight invoice amount, which is calculated in Pricing. The calculated invoice amount is printed on the order acknowledgement.

The freight invoice amount that you must pay to the carrier, is called freight costs. You can invoice your business partner for the freight costs, based on:

• Freight Costs
• Freight Costs (Update Allowed)
• Client Rates
