| # Loads, Shipments and Freight Order Clusters (tfacp2547m000) Use this session to display loads, shipments and freight order clusters received from all logistic companies. The display is sorted by logistic company. Order Company The logistic company in which the order was generated. Load The largest consignment for which Freight plans transportation. A load contains a number of goods that are transported by a means of transport that belongs to a transport means group travelling to a given destination on a given date/time via a specific route. A load can contain more than one shipment, for example if the consolidation planning algorithm is used. Shipment The smallest consignment for which Freight plans transportation. A shipment is an identifiable part of a load, and contains a number of goods that are transported to a given destination on a given date/time via a specific route. Freight Order Cluster A freight order cluster is a group of freight order lines with matching properties, such as shipping offices, planning groups, overlapping time windows, transport means groups, and so on, that is subcontracted to a carrier. The carrier will plan and carry out the transportation of the goods listed on the freight order lines according to the subcontracting order. Invoice-from Business Partner The business partner that sends invoices to your organization. This usually represents a supplier's accounts receivable department. The definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, invoicing method and frequency, information about your organization's credit limit, the terms and method of payment, and the related pay-to business partner. Currency The currency in which the invoice amount is expressed. Rate Factor The factor by which the amount in the transaction currency or the invoice currency is divided before LN converts it to a home currency. A rate factor is often used for currencies that have a relatively low price, for example, Korean Won. Rate tfacp246.rate Estimated Freight Cost The estimated cost for the freight. Shipping office 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. Pay-to BP The business partner to which you pay invoices. This usually represents a supplier's accounts receivable department. The definition includes the default currency and exchange rate, the supplier's bank relation, the number of days within which you must pay the invoices, and if the business partner uses a factoring company.
