| # Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) Use this session to view and maintain freight orders. This session displays freight orders that are created manually or have been generated, either automatically or by batch, from the following types of orders: Sales Purchase Warehouse Enterprise planning You can offer freight orders to a carrier to carry out the transportation of the goods listed on the freight orders. When you offer freight order lines to a carrier, you can create a load plan for the freight order lines first using the load building engine, or you can offer the freight orders without planning using the clustering functionality. For further information, see Subcontracting. To create freight orders manually In this session you can create new freight order headers. Freight order headers include general freight order information such as planned load and unload dates, addresses, the freight order type, the responsible shipping office, and so on. The default data of the selected freight order type are automatically entered in the freight order. Other freight order default values can be set in the Freight Order Control Parameters (fmfoc0100m000). You can add freight order lines to the freight order header in the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session, which you can access as follows: If you are viewing the list of freight orders, select a freight order, and on the appropriate menu, select the Lines option. If you are defining a freight order header, click the Lines button in the upper left of the window. New freight orders automatically receive the Expected status. To modify or delete freight orders The freight order status determines whether freight orders can be changed or deleted. If the originating order of a freight order is modified, these changes are reflected in freight order. If the originating order is deleted, the freight order is also deleted. The following data cannot be modified if the freight order originates from another order: Shipping office Originating office Ship-from details Ship-to details Carrier Terms of delivery Route plan Service level The relevant fields will be disabled. You can change load and unoad dates if the freight order status allow modifications. For further information, see Late and early execution of transport To change loading and unloading dates/times of manually created freight orders 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. If a manually created freight order has freight order lines, the following data cannot be modified: Shipping office Ship-from details Ship-to details Load and unload dates if the status of the freight order is less than Actual. The fields where this data is entered will be disabled. You can record history overviews of changes in freight orders. If the Log Freight Order History check box is selected, history records are generated to log the consecutive versions of a freight order.

Status The status of the current freight order. Related topics Freight order statuses 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 Management, 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.

Load Planning If this check box is selected, the freight order is available for load building. If this check box is cleared, the freight order is available for freight order clustering. Related topics The load planning attribute Single Shipment If this check box is selected, all freight order lines of the current freight order are grouped into a single shipment, without order lines from other freight orders, if you use the load building functionality to plan the freight order. If the capacity of the transport means group is insufficient, LN can create additional shipments to distribute the goods across the required number of vehicles. However, even then, the shipments will only contain shipment lines created from the freight order lines of the current freight order. This check box is automatically selected and unavailable in the following situations: The current freight order is generated from a warehousing order with a warehousing order type for which the Single Order per Shipment check box is selected. The current freight order is generated from a sales order whose order type is associated with a warehousing order type for which the Single Order per Shipment check box is selected. The current freight order is generated from a sales order whose order type not associated with a warehousing order type, but the Single Order per Shipment check box is selected for the default warehousing order type of the sales order. You can define default warehousing types in the Default Order Types by Origin (whinh0120m000) session. For all other instances of freight orders generated from originating orders, this check box is unavailable and the value is taken from the Single Shipment Order check box in the Freight Order Type - Defaults (fmfmd0165m000) session. You can change the setting of this check box for freight orders created manually that are not yet being processed. LN creates single shipments by means of the direct shipping planning method, and also creates single shipments for route plans and standard routes. A single shipment freight order is planned as a single shipment, even if you select a different planning algorithm in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session. If a freight order for which the Single Shipment check box is selected is clustered, the cluster is made up entirely of freight order lines that belong to this freight order. A freight order is available for clustering if the Load Planning check box is cleared for the freight order. Header Text If this check box is selected, header text is available for the current freight order. You can write header text in the Header Text field in the Text tab of the current session. Footer Text If this check box is selected, footer text exists for the current freight order. You can write footer text in the Footer Text field in the Text tab of the current session. Planned Load Date The planned date and time on which loading is to take place at the ship-from location.
