| # Plan History (fmlbd5510m000) Use this session to view and maintain the history data of load plans. LN creates a history record of each change that is made to a load. You can use history records for future analysis. On the Specific menu, you can access the Load History (fmlbd5502m000) session and the Delete/Archive Freight Planning History (fmlbd5200m000) session. Plan The first free number of the load plan. This serves as the load plan identification. User Name The name of the user who created the current load plan. Transaction Date The date on which the order is changed and/or written to the history file. For each change, LN inserts a new line and a new transaction date. This applies to any type of order. Among other things, the transaction date is important for: Scheduling Statistics Determining due dates and currency exchange rates History Status The status of the history record resulting from the modification that is made on the transaction date. History Status User The logon code used to create the current load plan. Users must be authorized to create load plans. User authorizations are granted in the Users by Shipping Office and Planning Group (fmfoc1105m000) session. Planning Algorithm The planning algorithm used to create the selected load plan. Actual If this check box is selected, the load plan has received the Actual status. Expired If this check box is selected, the current load plan is expired. Expired load plans cannot be given the Actual status and cannot be processed further. Load plans that are not processed in Warehousing and load plans that are not Actual can be set to Expired. The expired status can be undone. If this check box is cleared, the load plan is not Expired. FM Leading Load Plan If this check box is selected, changes made by Warehousing to load plans created by Freight are checked by Freight. For example, if Warehousing wants to move a shipment created by Freight to another load, Freight performs a check on: The available capacity of the transport means group assigned to the load. The transport type of the load. The combination code of the load. The planning groups of the order lines related to the shipment and the load. The combination code and the transport type of the shipment and the load must match. Also, the planning groups of the order lines related to the shipment and the load must match. If this check box is cleared, Freight does not perform these checks. Shipments and loads created by Freight and Warehousing can be viewed in the Planned Loads/Shipments (whinh4180m000) session. Text If this check box is selected, additional information is available. Estimated Freight Cost The aggregated estimated freight costs of the current plan. Related topics Calculation of estimated freight costs Actual Freight Cost The actual freight costs of the load plan. Related topics Invoicing methods Creation Date The date the plan is created. Shipment Planned Dates The time span defined in loading and unloading time windows of freight orders can be large. This can result in planned shipment loading and unloading dates that differ considerably from the planned loading and unloading dates of the originating orders of the freight orders. You can use the following options to control the way the load building engine calculates the planned loading and unloading dates for shipments. Related topics To use the planned date determiner options Calculate Additional Costs If this check box is selected, the additional costs for the current plan are calculated. Related topics To allocate additional costs Calculation of estimated freight costs Carrier Selection Criterion The available carrier selection criteria are used to select the best combination of carrier, standard route, and route plan during load building or lead time calculation. Possible values Means of Transport in Multiple Plans If this check box is selected, a Means of Transport can be scheduled tentatively for more than one Plan. When one of the plans is made Actual, the Means of Transport is scheduled definitely for the Actual plan. The Means of Transport in Multiple Plans field is enabled if the plan is not expired and no loads are present yet, or a load is present which is Expected, Planned, or Actual. If the plan is expired or all loads for the plan are In Progress, Confirmed, Shipped, Completed, or Closed then this field is disabled. Related topics Means of transport selection |
