A code that refers to the main properties of an item as they relate to transportation, such as:

• Foodstuffs
• Refrigerated goods
• Toxic materials

Combination codes are used to prevent the planning engine from creating loads or shipments from undesirable combinations of items. For example, foodstuffs must never be put in a shipment that also carries toxic materials. To achieve this, you provide foodstuffs with a combination code such as EAT, and toxic materials with a combination code such as TOX.

An entity that groups freight order lines which have a few attributes and attribute values in common, such as load/unload addresses, time windows, and so on. Combined freight orders are created by the load building engine as part of the load building process. The load building engine uses combined freight orders to create stops and trips, which in turn are used to build loads and shipments. A combined freight order is an intermediate piece of data, which provides no planning information, but you can use combined freight orders to analyze how a load plan was created.

A planning method, also called planning algorithm, where shipments that go on a particular standard route, or partially travel this standard route, are put together and given as one load to the carrier. If the shipments cannot be carried in one load, the Load Building module of Freight creates the required number of loads.

An administrative item that is used to post extra costs to an order. Extra costs are, for example, accounting expenses, clearance charges, design costs, and freight expenses.

Cost items are not used for production and cannot be held in inventory. They are also referred to as expense items.

A reason code that indicates who is to pay for the transportation of the goods.

A transport document that provides information on a consignment contained in one truck (or other vehicle) and refers to an order or a set of orders for one consignee at a delivery address. If the truck load contains shipments for various business partners, the load includes more than one delivery note. The information on a delivery note includes the delivery date and address, the customer's name, the contents of the consignment, and so on. In Italy, a delivery note is a legally required document, where it used to be called BAM (Bolla Accompagnamento Merci). Currently it is called DDT (Documento di Trasporto). In Portugal and Spain delivery notes are also used, but there they do not have the same legal status as in Italy.

A company's organizational unit that carries out a specific set of tasks, for example, a sales office or a purchase office. Departments are assigned number groups for the orders they issue. The department's enterprise unit determines the financial company to which the financial transactions that the department generates are posted.

The process in which a seller orders goods from a buy-from business partner, who must also deliver the goods directly to the sold-to business partner. By means of a purchase order that is linked to a sales order or a service order, the buy-from business partner delivers the goods directly to the sold-to business partner. The goods are not delivered from your own warehouse, so Warehousing is not involved.

In a Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) setup, a direct delivery is achieved by creating a purchase order for the customer warehouse.

A seller can decide for a direct delivery because:

• There is a shortage of available stock.
• The ordered quantity cannot be delivered in time.
• The ordered quantity cannot be transported by your company.
• Costs and time are saved.

The estimated transport costs of shipments and loads. The estimated freight costs are based on the carrier rates maintained in Pricing, and the most recent information available on the quantities, volumes, and/or weights of the goods to be transported. During loading, transportation, or transfer changes can be made to the quantities, weights, or volumes of the goods.

The basic unit used to indicate the loading capacity of a means of transport. For example, loading metre. If a truck has a capacity of 15 loading metres, and an item is 0.01 loading metres, the truck can hold 1,500 items. Other examples: pallet, crate, or box. In the latter cases, the loading unit is also the unit or type of container used to load the means of transport, which can be defined as handling units. See also handling unit.

Piece units are used in load building and loading capacity requirement checks.

A set of attributes and values used as selection criteria for a planning group.

For example, a plan matrix can include the following values:

• Transport means group: TNK (tankers).
• Ship-to business partner: Tradex PLC.

These characteristics are used to allocate freight order lines to planning groups. If the values defined in the plan matrix of a given planning group match values of particular freight order lines, these freight order lines are allocated to the planning group.

An entity that is used to group freight order lines into shipments and loads or freight order clusters.

Each freight order line is allocated to a planning group. Freight order lines with different planning groups cannot be in the same shipment, load, or freight order cluster. For example, all goods destined for Belgium are subdivided into planning group Belgium.

From a hierarchical perspective, the planning group is one level below the shipping office. A shipping office has one or more planning groups. Freight orders are grouped into shipping offices, the underlying freight order lines are grouped into the planning groups of the shipping office.

Pooling is a planning method, also called planning algorithm, in which multiple fixed addresses, such as distribution centers, ports, and so on, covered by a route plan, are visited. In such cases, the transport route usually consists of several legs.

At one of the legs, shipments travel the same way and are pooled together to go to their destination or to a distribution point. At the distribution point, the shipments are reallocated to different means of transport to be taken to their final destination.

Example

50 bicycles go from Amsterdam to New York, another 50 go from Amsterdam to Philadelphia, and a third lot of 20 bicycles goes from Amsterdam to Pittsburgh. The first leg is from Amsterdam to Rotterdam by truck. Rotterdam is the pooling point, where the bicycles are loaded aboard a ship. In New York, they are unloaded and loaded in trucks that take them to their respective final destinations in New York, Pittsburgh, and Philadelphia.

In Freight, rate basis numbers are used to determine the carrier rates for the following entities:

• Shipments
• Loads
• Sales order lines
• Sales quotation lines

A rate basis number is allocated to a shipment, load, order line, or quotation line if the freight class, transport means group, transport type and/or planning group of the shipment or load match those defined for the rate basis number.

In Pricing, freight rate books are linked to rate basis numbers. A rate basis number allocated to a shipment, load, and so on, will in turn point to a freight rate book from where freight rates can be picked up.

A module in Freight that provides estimates of both available transport capacity and required transport capacity in a given period of time. Using Rough Planning, those responsible for freight planning can see how much transport capacity is available to them, how much they need, and, if necessary, arrange additional capacity from their carriers.

A procedure that is carried out when a warehouse order or a shipment is processed for transportation. In a shipment procedure, you can specify which transport documents (packing list, packing slip, or Bill of Lading) must be printed when the shipment is transported. For each shipment, a shipment procedure is defined. If a shipment obtains the Confirmed status, the documents specified in the shipment procedure are printed.

A department that is responsible for the organization of transportation for one or more warehouses. When goods are moved from or to a warehouse, the responsible shipping office plans the transportation of these goods or subcontracts the transportation of the goods. In direct delivery scenarios, the shipping office provides planning or transport subcontracting services for external suppliers or customers.

In Freight, a shipping office plays a key role in load building and freight order clustering. Freight orders are grouped by shipping office. The groups of freight orders by shipping office are used by the load building engine to build shipments and loads, or by the freight order clustering engine to build freight order clusters.

A standard route is a fixed route that is traveled with a particular frequency, such as a truck that visits delivery and/or loading addresses according to a fixed schedule, a rail service, or a boat service. Usually, transportation via standard routes costs less than travel via non-fixed routes. For example, you can define a route like Amsterdam via Rotterdam to Antwerp that is run once a day.

A distance or a geographical area. Zones are used to define freight rates. To define a freight rate, the geographical area defined by the zone is linked to a freight amount in Pricing. Thus the freight rate is used to calculate the transportation costs of goods transports that take place in the area defined by the zone. In other words, all goods transports within the area go for the same rate, provided that the other factors that make up the rate, such as basic weight or carrier, apply.

The following types of zones are available:

• ZIP
• City
• Distance
• Not Applicable
• Note: The Zone type is not used to define freight rates in Pricing.

A zone of the City type. Zones of this type are defined by an origin city in an origin country and a destination city in a destination country. For each zone, you can define several origin country/city and destination country/city combinations.

Example

Zone ZC1 Origin country: The Netherlands. Origin city: Amsterdam. Destination country: The Netherlands. Destination city: Rotterdam.

Zone ZC2 Origin country: United Kingdom. Origin city: London. Destination country: Belgium. Destination city: Antwerp.

Zone ZC3 Origin country: The Netherlands. Origin city: Amsterdam. Destination country: The Netherlands. Destination city: The Hague. Origin country: The Netherlands. Origin city: Amsterdam. Destination country: The Netherlands. Destination city: Utrecht.
