Clustering by address
To limit the number of freight order clusters generated for a group of freight order lines, you can select the Cluster by Address check box in the Generate Freight Order Clusters (fmfoc3200m000) session to cluster freight order lines by ship-from and ship-to address.
If freight order lines are clustered by ship-from and ship-to address, these clustering criteria are not used:
- Ship-from Company
- Ship-from Site
- Ship-from Type
- Ship-from Code
- Ship-to Company
- Ship-to Site
- Ship-to Code
- Ship-to Code
Clustering by address prevents multiple freight order clusters from being created for freight order lines with identical addresses but different ship-from or ship-to warehouses.
For example, if five warehouses with identical addresses are specified on multiple freight order lines, these freight order lines are grouped into five clusters if this check box is cleared, and one cluster if this check box is selected.
