| # Shipment Lines (fmlbd3150m000) Use this session to view and maintain shipment lines. A shipment has one or more shipment lines. Shipments and shipment lines are created using the load building engine or can be created manually. Print options On the Print submenu of the File menu, the following print options are available for selected shipments: Shipments Print shipment and shipment line details. Planning Print planning data grouped by freight order, originating order, or load. Available Inventory for Shipment Lines Print the available inventory. Note If the value of the Ship-from Type field is Warehouse, the available inventory for the item on the shipment line is shown in the following fields: Ship-from Warehouse On Hand On Order Allocated Committed Related topics The load building process Load plan, load, and shipment statuses Load plan, load, and shipment maintenance Invoicing methods Shipment Line The identification number of the shipment to which the shipment lines belong. Shipment Line The position number of the shipment line. Status The status expresses the progress of the shipment in its life cycle from creation in Freight Management, through execution in Warehouse Management, to completion after approval in the Accounts Payable module of Financials. BOM Line The identification number of the component item line. Additional Cost Line If this check box is selected, the current shipment line is an additional cost line. If additional costs must be paid for the goods listed on a shipment line, an additional cost set is linked to the shipment line. ERP LN does this by creating a new shipment line where it stores the additional cost set. The new shipment line, called additional cost line, is then linked to the shipment line that lists the goods for which the additional costs must be paid. Plan The load plan to which the shipment of the shipment line belongs. Load The load to which the shipment of the shipment line belongs. Freight Order Line The identification number of the freight order on which the shipment line is based. Freight Order Line The position number of the freight order line on which the shipment is based. Item The item that must be transported. If the status is Completed or Closed, the item has reached the destination address. Inventory Handling In Warehouse Management, items are processed by component or by main item. If the value in this field is By Component, the originating order from which the current shipment line is derived is processed by component and the shipment line includes component items. If the originating order is processed by main item, the shipment line lists only main items. Origin The origin of the order from which the freight order of the current shipment line originates. Originating Order The identification number of the order from which the freight order of the current shipment line originates. Reference Delivery Point The location where the shipment must be delivered by the carrier. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight Management. Note The value is retrieved from the Delivery Point field in the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session if the Single Delivery Point per Shipment check box is selected. Related topics Shipment Building Based on Delivery Points Delivery Point The description or name of the code. Shipment Reference The shipment reference based on which the goods are picked up from the supplier site. The shipment reference, among other criteria, determines how the goods issued/picked up from the supplier warehouse are grouped into shipments. The items that have the same Shipment Reference must be grouped into one shipment to the customer. In the automotive business this is called a Pickup Sheet (PUS) process. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight Management. Note The value is retrieved from the Shipment Reference field in the Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) session if the Single Shipment Reference per Shipment check box is selected. The field is derived if the shipment line has the Confirmed status. Related topics Shipment Building Based on Shipment Reference Text If this check box is selected, additional text about the current shipment line is available. To create a text, click or press CTRL-T. Planned Quantity The quantity of the shipment line that is planned for transportation. Planned Quantity The unit used to express the quantity of the item. Ordered Quantity in Storage Unit The ordered quantity of the item. The ordered quantity can be changed until the shipment line obtains the In Progress status. Ordered Quantity The unit used to express the quantity of the item. Shipped Quantity The confirmed quantity of the item that is actually shipped. This quantity can differ from the ordered quantity due to insufficient loading capacity, damage during loading or unloading, and so on. BOM Quantity The BOM quantity of the item. BOM Quantity The unit by which the BOM quantity is expressed. Ordered Quantity Main Item The ordered quantity for the main item. This field is filled if a Bill of Materials (BOM) exists for the item. Planned Quantity Main Item The planned quantity for the main item. This field is filled if a Bill of Materials (BOM) exists for the item. Shipped Quantity Main Item The shipped quantity for the main item. This field is filled if a Bill of Materials (BOM) exists for the item. Ordered Quantity The ordered quantity expressed in the inventory unit. Planned Quantity The planned quantity expressed in the inventory unit. Shipped Quantity The shipped quantity expressed in the inventory unit. Delivered Quantity The quantity of the goods that was delivered to the customer’s location. This quantity is expressed in the inventory unit. By default, Warehouse Management fills this field with the shipped quantity for outbound shipment lines; inbound shipment lines receive the receipt quantity. If the shipment line is not linked to Warehouse Management, the status of the shipment line is manually changed in the Confirm Delivery / Receipt (fmlbd3252m000) session. If the status is changed to Shipped, the Shipped Quantity Planned Quantity field and the shipped capacity fields are filled by default with the values from the Planned Quantity field and the planned capacity fields. If the status is changed to Completed, the Delivered Quantity field and the delivered capacity fields are filled by default with the values from the Shipped Quantity field and the shipped capacity fields. If the status of a shipment line is Completed, this field becomes available for manual changes. You can then enter the delivered quantity when the customer has provided you with this information. Damaged Quantity The quantity of the goods that were damaged during loading, transport, or unloading. You can manually enter the damaged quantity when the carrier has provided you with this information. Reason for Damage The reason code that explains the cause of the damage. Ship-from Warehouse The warehouse from which the goods are issued. On Hand The physical quantity of goods in one or more warehouses (including the inventory on hold). Default value This field is defaulted from the Inventory on Hand field of the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session. Inventory Unit The unit of measure in which the inventory of an item is recorded, such as piece, kilogram, box of 12, or meter. The inventory unit is also used as the base unit in measure conversions, especially for conversions that concern the order unit and the price unit on a purchase order or a sales order. These conversions always use the inventory unit as the base unit. An inventory unit therefore applies to all item types, also to item types that cannot be kept in stock. On Order The planned receipts. The inventory that has been ordered but not yet received. This quantity is included in the economic stock. Default value This field is defaulted from the Inventory on Order field of the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session.

Also referred to as standard allocation or soft allocation. See also inventory location allocation. See also location allocation Default value This field is defaulted from the Allocated Inventory field of the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session. Committed A quantity of goods that is blocked. On-hold inventory can arise when the location, the lot, the zone, or the stockpoint is blocked. You can block inventory for various reasons, for example, for inspection or cycle-counting. If a location has been blocked for all transactions, the blocked quantity is equal to the inventory on hand. You cannot partially block the inventory at a location.

Related topics Piece units used in load building and loading capacity checks Planned 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
Planned 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.

Planned Freight Value The value of the goods that are planned to be transported. The value in this field is filled from the freight order on which the shipment line is based. Shipped Freight Value The value of the goods that are planned to be transported. The value in this field is filled from the freight order on which the shipment line is based. Planned Freight Value The currency by which the freight value is expressed. Estimated Freight Cost The estimated freight costs of the shipment line. The estimated costs are derived from the carrier agreements maintained in the ERP LN Pricing Control module, or they can be entered manually. The currency used to express the estimated freight costs is the currency defined for the buy-from business partner of the carrier selected for the current shipment line. Recalculate for Invoice Amount If this check box is selected, the freight cost amount must be recalculated manually due to partial deliveries or over-deliveries. Related topics Recalculation of invoice amount for shipment differences Actual Freight Cost The estimated freight costs set to Actual Cost Final for a load or a freight order cluster by the user, or the actual amount invoiced by a carrier to the shipping office to carry out the transportation of particular goods. Actual Cost Final If this check box is selected, the actual costs of the carrier invoice that have been approved by Financials for the current shipment line. If invoicing is not based on a carrier invoice, this check box is selected when the estimated costs for the load to which the shipment line belongs belongs is made actual and final. Related topics Invoicing methods The invoicing process Shipment Line Text The text about the current shipment line. To edit the text or to write new text, click or press CTRL-T. Set to Ignored Use this command to set selected shipment lines to Ignored. Shipment lines with the Ignored status are not processed further and can be deleted. For example, you must set a shipment line to Ignored in the following situations: An inbound shipment is set to Shipped, but the goods are never received because the shipment was heavily damaged during transport. If you do not set the shipment lines to Ignored, the shipment lines and related shipments and loads retain the Shipped status indefinitely. An inbound shipment is set to Shipped, but the supplier delivered the goods on a shipment other than the one listed in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session. Likewise, if you do not set the shipment lines to Ignored, the shipment lines and related shipments and loads retain the Shipped status indefinitely. Note that in Warehouse Management loads and shipments are automatically set to Ignored if you do not advise the quantity of the shipment or load on the warehousing order related to the load or shipment. For further information, see Planned Loads/Shipments Status. You can delete Ignored shipment lines by selecting the shipment line that you want to delete and use the Delete Record command. You cannot delete entire Ignored shipments or loads. A shipment is deleted when the shipment lines are deleted, a load is deleted when the shipments are deleted. |
