Carrier selection and cost calculation in Warehousing

For business scenarios where freight costing and invoicing is based on the actual shipment built in Warehousing, LN allows you to calculate freight costs for the shipment and to select the best carrier and transport means group or transport means combination.

In these scenarios, the shipments are not created by in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session in Freight, but by Warehousing. These shipments are the actual shipments issued from the warehouse. The warehouse shipments are passed on to the Freight package after the shipment is confirmed in Warehousing. After the warehouse shipments are received in Freight, the freight loads and shipments are created and the freight costs can be invoiced to the customers.
