| # Freight Order Line Status Overview (fmfoc2601m000) Use this session to maintain freight order lines for the selected freight order. Similar to freight order headers, freight order lines are created manually or are generated, either automatically or by batch, from the following types of orders: Sales Purchase Warehouse Enterprise planning When a freight order is created from an originating order, the order lines of the originating orders usually become the freight order lines of the freight order. Sometimes, however, more than one freight order is created from the originating order, or the freight order lines created from originating order lines are added to an existing freight order. This depends on the data of the originating orders and the existing freight orders. For more information, see Freight order maintenance. You can offer freight order lines to a carrier to carry out the transportation of the goods listed on the freight order lines. 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 order lines without planning using the clustering functionality. For further information, see Subcontracting. To create freight order lines manually In this session you can add new freight order lines to a freight order. A freight order line includes the following data: Item Item quantity Item dimensions Transport details, such as route plan, transport type, and so on. Costing details, such as terms of delivery, service level and so on. The freight order header and the corresponding freight order lines provide input for load building, freight costing, and freight order clustering. Freight order line maintenance The freight order status determines whether freight order lines can be changed or deleted. If the originating order of a freight order is modified, these changes are reflected in freight order lines. Sometimes, freight orders or freight order lines are deleted and new freight orders are created. For more information, see Freight order maintenance.

If this check box is cleared, the freight order type is available for freight order clustering. Related topics The load planning attribute Released to Warehousing If this check box is selected, the originating order of the current freight order line is released to Warehouse Management. As a result, a warehousing order is created for the originating order. The progress through warehouse processing of the warehousing order lines that correspond with the current freight order line is shown on the freight order line by means of the freight order line status. Related topics Freight order statuses Freight Costs Actual Freight Cost If the freight order line is clustered, this field shows the actual freight costs for the freight order cluster to which the freight order line belongs. If the freight order line is planned using load building, this field shows the actual freight costs of the shipment or shipments that include the freight order line. Estimated Freight Cost If the freight order line is clustered, this field shows the estimated freight cost calculated for the freight order cluster to which the freight order line belongs. If the freight order line is planned using load building, this field shows the estimated freight costs of the shipment or shipments that include the freight order line. The currency in which the freight costs are expressed is the currency defined for the buy-from business partner of the carrier that transports the current freight order. Actual Cost Final If invoicing is based on a carrier invoice, this check box is selected automatically when the invoice from the carrier is matched and approved in Financials. If the freight order line is planned using load building, this check box is selected when all the lines of the shipment of the current freight order line are approved. If the freight order line is clustered, this check box is selected when all lines of the cluster of the current freight order line are approved. If invoicing is not based on a carrier invoice, this check box is selected when the estimated costs for the load or the cluster to which the freight order line belongs is made actual and final.

Carrier Binding If this check box is selected, the load building engine will not overwrite the carrier you select in this field. As a rule, the load building engine overwrites the carrier you select in this field, if it finds another carrier that offers lower prices and/or a more favorable planning scope. If you want to impose a carrier for a specific order line and you do not want the load building engine to change the carrier, you can select the Carrier/LSP Binding check box. If the freight order line is clustered, the carrier in the Carrier/LSP field is not overwritten during the clustering process, but the user can, if required, manually change the carrier after the clustering process is carried out. A freight order line is available for clustering if the Load Planning check box is cleared for the freight order line. This field is disabled if no carrier is selected in the Carrier/LSP field. The value in this field is defaulted from the originating order, if defined there. For direct deliveries, the value is taken from the sales order. Transport Means Group The transport means group required for the current freight order line. Related topics The use of transport means groups Means of Transport The means of transport that must transport the goods listed on the current freight order line. You can select a Means of Transport that belongs to the Transport Means Group defined for the current freight order line. If no Transport Means Group is selected in the Transport Means Group field or if no Means of Transport is defined for the selected Transport Means Group, this field is disabled. Related topics Means of transport manually selected for freight order lines Means of transport selection Transport Type The transport type required for the current freight order line. Related topics The use of transport types Combination Code The combination code required for the current freight order line. Related topics The use of combination codes Distance The distance between the ship-from and the ship-to address. For this field, ERP LN can generate a default distance or you can manually enter a distance. The default distance is generated from the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session or the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session of the Common package. If a Standard Route or a Route Plan is entered for the current freight order line, the distance is calculated by adding up the distances of the Standard Route or each of the individual legs of the Route Plan. The default distance is used for freight planning and freight cost calculation. Manually entered distances are only used to calculate freight costs. Thus, in situations where you want to charge freight costs that are not based on the normal distances defined in ERP LN, you can manually enter a distance in this field. Related topics Calculation of estimated freight costs The load building process Distance The unit used to express the distance between the ship-from and the ship-to addresses. You can overwrite the default unit. Default units are defined in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Length The depth of the item to be transported.

The piece unit is taken from the Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000) session. The quantity expressed for the piece unit indicates the number of items that is held by or contained in the piece unit. Pieces The total number of pieces of all piece units listed on the freight order line. Item The item that is to be transported. The value in this field is taken from the originating order line. For direct deliveries, the value is taken from the purchase order line. Units per Piece The total number of piece units divided by the total number of units. Units per Piece The units used to express the piece unit and the item unit. Stack Factor Stack factor Weight Class A classification that expresses a range of weights, for example from 10 kg to 50 kg. Weight classes are optionally used to determine the planning group of freight order lines. Volume Class A classification that expresses a range of volumes, for example, from 1 ltr to 10 ltr. Volume classes (optional) are used to determine the planning group of freight order lines. Additional Rate Unit The unit used to express the Additional Rate Unit. Additional Rate Quantity A quantity by unit against which you can define freight rates. You can choose from the units defined in Common. Many freight rates are based on distance and weight. Additional quantities/units enable you to define rates that are based on other units, such as volume, or define rates that are based on combinations of distance, weight, and other units. Example 1 Freight rate by additional quantity/unit: Additional Rate Quantity: 1 pallet, Distance: 1000 km Amount by Distance: 10 Example 2 Freight rates by combinations of units by distance/zone: Weight: 10 kg Additional Rate Quantity: 1 m³ Break Type: Minimum
Distance: | 0 | 100 | 500
Amount by Distance | 10 | 15 | 20
Amount by Weight | 5 | 5 | 10
Amount by Additional Rate Unit | 5 | 5 | 7
In this example, freight rates are based on distance by weight and volume. Shipment SH0001, from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, includes the following details: Distance: 70 km, Weight: 50 kg, Volume: 7 m³ The freight costs for shipment SH0001 are:
     10 * 70 (distance) + 5 * 50 (weight) + 5 * 7 (volume) = 985
Quantity The quantity of the item to be transported. Freight Service Level The freight service level is used to indicate the preferred transportation time for the item listed on the order line.

For direct deliveries, this is the sales order. Single Shipment If this check box is selected, a single shipment is created for the current freight order line. This shipment only includes shipment lines derived from the current freight order line. If the capacity of the vehicles defined for the applicable transport means group is insufficient, more shipments can be created to divide the goods over the required number of vehicles. However, even then the shipments will only contain shipment lines created from the current freight order line. A single shipment freight order line is planned as a single shipment, even if you select a different planning algorithm in the Generate Plan (fmlbd0280m000) session. Single shipments are created by means of the direct shipping planning method. If a freight order line for which the Single Shipment check box is selected is clustered, the cluster is made up of this freight order line only. A freight order line is available for clustering if the Load Planning check box is cleared for the freight order line. Route The route entered on the originating order. The default value is taken from the freight order header. Route Plan The route plan in this field is a default value that is taken from the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session. The route plan that you manually enter in a freight order line is used by the load building engine to create a load plan, regardless of the planning algorithm used. If you enter different route plans in the freight order lines of a freight order, the load building engine builds separate loads for each route plan. If you want to use a particular Route Plan to build a load plan for the current freight order line, you must enter this Route Plan in this field. To use the load building engine to select the most cost-effective and efficient route, the Route Plan field in the freight order header and freight order lines must be left empty. Route Plan The route plan in this field is a default value that is taken from the Freight Orders (fmfoc2100m000) session. The route plan that you manually enter in a freight order line is used by the load building engine to create a load plan, regardless of the planning algorithm used. If you enter different route plans in the freight order lines of a freight order, the load building engine builds separate loads for each route plan. If you want to use a particular Route Plan to build a load plan for the current freight order line, you must enter this Route Plan in this field. To use the load building engine to select the most cost-effective and efficient route, the Route Plan field in the freight order header and freight order lines must be left empty. Standard Route 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. Related topics The use of standard routes Planned Load Date The date and time on which loading of the goods listed on the current freight order is planned.
