| # Carrier Selection and Cost Calculation within Warehousing For business scenarios where freight costing and invoicing is based on the actual shipment build in warehouse management, LN allows you to calculate freight cost for the shipment and to select the best carrier and transport means group or transport means combination. In these scenarios, the shipments are not created by the planning engine Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session in the Freight package, but by Warehousing and are the actual/physical shipments issued from the warehouse. The warehouse shipments are passed to the Freight package after the shipment is confirmed in Warehousing. After the warehouse shipments are received in Freight, the freight loads and shipments are created and the freight costs can be invoiced to the customers. For details, refer to the online Help of The Rate and Carrier/LSP Selection at Warehouse Shipment field in the Freight Rates and Costs Parameters (fmfrc0100m000) session. The Estimated Freight Costs, Select Carrier/LSP, and Log Select Carrier/LSP fields in the Loads (whinh4140m000) session. |
