Shipment Planning Workbench - Summary section

This information is displayed along with the count of the selected items:

Gross Weight

The cumulative weight of the items specified for selected items.

Loading Units

The number of Packaging Items (pallets, racks and so on) required to ship the selected items. The Packaging Item defined for the item in the Handling Unit Templates (whwmd4160m000) session is considered. The number of pallets is calculated based on the Loading Units value. If the Loading Unit value is within these ranges:

• 0.1 to 1, the number of pallets required is one.
• 1.1 to 2, the number of pallets required is two.
• 2.1 to 3, the number of pallets required is three, and so on.

Note: If the selected Items have different types of Packaging Items, only values are displayed, the units are not displayed.

Carrier

The name of the carrier specified for the selected items.

The value in this field is populated only if all the selected items have the same Carrier specified. You can also specify or modify this value. If this value is not specified, the shipments are created in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session without a value specified in this field.

Mode

The transport category for the shipment(s). This value is retrieved from the Carriers/LSP (tcmcs0180s000) session.

Planned Ship Date

The Planned Ship Date of the items. By default, the earliest of the dates specified for the selected items, is displayed. However, you can modify this date. Even if this field is cleared manually, the earliest of the dates specified for the selected items is considered.

Note: If the earliest Planned Ship Date specified for the selected items is a date in the past, by default, the current date is considered.

You can click Create Projected Shipments to create the shipments with the Projected status in the Shipments (whinh4130m000) session.
