Most often, some freight order lines are successfully shipped and others are delayed, due to inventory shortages. To process these freight orders or lines at a later stage, you can adjust the following: Loading/unloading dates Tolerances When you adjust the dates ( Planned Load Date or Planned Unload Date) and tolerances ( Earliest Load Date and Earliest Unload Date; Latest Load Date and Latest Unload Date), ERP Enterprise planning engine retrieves the affected order lines and includes the order lines in a new freight plan that is scheduled to be executed at a later date.
