| # Loading/unloading dates of manually created freight orders For manually created freight orders, the system date and time is taken as the default planned, earliest, and latest loading and unloading dates/times. If you change the default earliest and latest loading and unloading dates/times of a manually created freight order, the earliest unloading date/time must be later than the earliest loading date/time augmented with the transportation time of the goods. If the earliest and latest loading and unloading dates/times are not entered correctly, an error message is displayed. Example
Legend
E.L | Earliest load date
L.L. | Latest load date
E.U. | Earliest unload date
L.U. | Latest Unload date
For freight order 1, the time gap between L.L and E.U is more than the travelling time required to cover the distance between the ship-from and the ship-to location, so even if transportation starts at the latest possible date, the goods on the freight order reach their destination before the E.U. For freight order 2, the time windows overlap, so if transportation starts at any date in the load time window, the goods can arrive at the destination between the E.U and the L.U. If the earliest and latest loading and unloading dates/times are not entered correctly, an error message is displayed. |
