| # Transportation time in Freight Management If Freight Management is implemented, transportation time is determined by means of Freight Management. The transportation time that is used in Freight Management consists of five parts: Wait time at the sending address Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session Load time at the sending address Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session Travel time (refer to Travel Time, later in this chapter) Wait time at the receiving address Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session Unload time at the receiving address Addresses - Freight Management (fmfmd0110m000) session Wait time and load time are planned on the address calendar that is determined in the Addresses (tccom4530m000) session. Travel time is planned on the calendar that is linked to the carrier. Travel time Travel time, which is one of the five parts of transportation time in Freight Management, can be determined in three ways: In the Route Plans (fmfoc1150m000) session In the Standard Routes (fmlbd0150m000) session By means of the carrier The following sections describe each of these methods in detail. Route plan Neither the distribution order nor the purchase order specifies a route plan. Instead, the origin address and the destination address must be determined for the order. Using the Route Plans (fmfoc1150m000) session, the origin address and the destination address must be found in the Route Plan Legs (fmfoc1151m000) session. The two addresses do not need to be in the same leg. However, the leg with the origin address must always precede the leg that contains the destination address. Example The origin address is in the second leg of the route plan, and the destination address is in the fifth leg. The Carrier/LSP Selection Criterion field in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000)) session determines which of the available route plans is chosen: Cheapest Fastest Shortest You can retrieve the travel time by means of the Route Plan Legs (fmfoc1151m000) session: The distance of a leg is divided by the average speed of a Transport Means Group. If no distance is specified, the leg travelling time is taken instead. The calendar is retrieved by means of the carrier. Standard route Similar to route plans, all standard routes that match the origin address and the destination address are selected. For a route plan, you can define a sequence of ZIP codes in the ZIP Codes by Standard Route (fmlbd0151m000) session, and a sequence of areas in the Areas by Standard Route (fmlbd0152m000) session. The Search Sequence Standard Route field in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session determines whether ZIP codes or areas are used. The addresses must match either the ZIP code or the area reference address. The travel time is calculated for the total distance of the standard route sequence. The distances are retrieved by means of the distance tables in Common, as is described in the following subsection. The distances are based on the transport category: Transport Means Group (TMG) of the standard route: refer to the Transport Means Groups (fmfmd0150m000) session. TMG of the order’s carrier: refer to the Transport Means Groups by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0152m000) session. TMG of standard route carrier Carrier TMG of the item: refer to the Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000) session. The calendar is retrieved by means of the carrier. Carrier The travel time is retrieved by means of the Common distance tables; the calendar is retrieved from the carrier. The transport category is retrieved from: Carrier Transport Means Group (TMG) of the item Related topics Calendars in Enterprise Planning Horizons and time fences Time Zones in Enterprise Planning |
