Plan Board (fmlbd0215m000)

The move options are available in the appropriate menu of the sessions listed in the table.

Using the options, you can move these objects:

  • Load to a different plan
  • Shipment to a different:
    • Load
    • Plan
    • Position within the load
  • Shipment lines to a different:
    • Shipment
    • Load
    • Plan

In the Plan Board (fmlbd0215m000) session, you can also drag and drop these objects:

  • Shipment lines to the Freight Orders pane. This removes the shipment line from the plan.
  • Freight order line to the plan displayed in the Loads and Shipments pane. This adds the freight order line to the plan and launches the replanning process for the freight order line. See Replan separately or include in Planned freight orders.

Sequencing

You can adjust the order of the shipments within a load to enable unloading of the shipments in the required order. This may affect the planned loading and unloading dates of the shipments.

To change the position of a shipment within a load, select the Sequencing command on the appropriate menu and in the Shipments and Loads pane, drag and drop the shipment to the required position in the load.

To recalculate the planned loading and unloading dates of a shipment, in the Shipments and Loads pane, select the shipment and on the appropriate menu, select the Recalculate Shipment Dates command.

Consequences

If you move a shipment to a different plan without specifying a load, a new load is generated. If you move a shipment line to a different plan without specifying a shipment or a load, a new shipment and a new load are generated.

For loads, shipments, and shipment lines with a status of Actual, the changed shipping structures are updated to the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session. Loads, shipments, and shipment lines with a status of Planned are not updated to this session, because Planned shipping structures are not yet present in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session.

Moving objects can cause the freight costs of the originating load and the destination load to be recalculated or redistributed. See Freight cost calculation.

Conditions

You can move objects that have a status of Planned or Actual. This applies to the originating object, the object that you move, and the destination object.

Moving objects with a status In Progress is not allowed, because this would affect the outbound advices and the load structures in Warehousing.

You can move a load to a load plan whose shipping office or planning group is different from the shipping office or planning group of the load.

You cannot move shipments or shipment lines to a load with a different shipping office or planning group than the shipping office or planning group of the load.

You can move a shipment line to another shipment only if the loading and unloading addresses of the originating shipment and the destination shipment match.

Note: Any errors occurring resulting from moving objects are displayed in the Error Messages log. You can access this session by clicking the exclamation mark icon in the status bar.
