| # Freight Order Lines (fmfoc2101m000) Use this session to maintain freight order lines for the selected freight order. Note Use the Maps section to view the location of the Ship-from Address and the Ship-to Address. You must select only one record at a time. 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 delivery terms, 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. Print options On the Print submenu of the File menu, the following print options are available for selected shipments: Freight Order Print freight order and freight order 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 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 use of items in Freight Management To create freight orders Freight order statuses Freight order maintenance To create load plans Subcontracting Freight Management in multisite environments Freight Order Line The order number of the freight order header to which the freight order line belongs.

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 Binding check box. If the freight order line is clustered, the carrier in the Carrier 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 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 Combination Transport means combination. If a transport means group is selected in the Transport Means Group field, you cannot select a transport means combination. If a carrier is inserted for the current freight order line, the transport means combination must be attached to this carrier. In the Transport Means Combinations by Carrier (fmfmd0144m000) session, you can attach transport means combinations to carriers. Related topics The use of transport means groups Multiple means of transport by load Transport Means Group The transport means group required for the current freight order line. For the transport means group that you select in this field, the Independent Use Allowed check box must be selected. Note that if you select a transport means group, you cannot select a transport means combination. If a transport means combination is selected, you cannot select a transport means group. Related topics The use of transport means groups Multiple means of transport by load 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 Multiple means of transport by load Transport Type The transport type required for the current freight order line. If a transport means combination or a transport means group is selected in the current session and a transport type exists for the transport means group or transport means combination, the transport type is taken from the transport means combination or transport means group. You must not change this value. Related topics The use of transport types Multiple means of transport by load Combination Code The combination code required for the current freight order line. If a transport means group or transport means combination is inserted for the current freight order line, the combination code of the freight order line must be the same as the combination code of the selected transport means group or transport means combination, unless the selected transport means group or transport means combination has no combination code. Related topics The use of combination codes Multiple means of transport by load Distance The distance between the ship-from and the ship-to address. For this field, 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 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. Unit The unit used to express the dimensions of the ordered item. Freight default units are defined in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Width The width of the item to be transported. Height The height of the item to be transported. Weight The aggregated weight of the ordered quantity of the item on the current freight order line. The aggregated figures are calculated by Freight. Weight The weight unit used to express the aggregated weight of the item listed on the current freight order line. Volume The aggregated volume of the item on the current freight order line. The aggregated figures are calculated by Freight. Unit The volume unit. Freight default units are defined in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Floor Space The aggregated surface area of the ordered quantity of the item on the current freight order line. The aggregated figures are calculated by Freight. Unit The surface area unit. Default units are defined in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Piece Unit The piece unit for the item. 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. If a transport means group or transport means combination is inserted for the current freight order line, the piece unit of the freight order line must be the same as the piece unit of the selected transport means group or transport means combination, unless the selected transport means group or transport means combination has no 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

First Shipping Date The date on which the first shipment is carried out. Shipping Quantity The shipped quantity in the first shipment. Shipping Quantity Unit The inventory unit in which Shipping Quantity is expressed. Item In LN, the raw materials, subassemblies, finished products, and tools that can be purchased, stored, manufactured, sold, and so on. An item can also represent a set of items handled as one kit, or exist in multiple product variants. You can also define nonphysical items, which are not held in inventory but can be used to post costs or to invoice services to customers. The following are examples of nonphysical items: Cost items (for example, electricity) Service items Subcontracting services List items (menus/options) Ship-from Warehouse The warehouse from which the goods are issued. Inventory 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 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. Inventory on Order The planned receipts. The inventory has been received and the inbound advice is generated. However, the advice is not yet released. This quantity is included in the economic stock. Default value This field is defaulted from the On Order field of the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session. Inventory Allocated Inventory throughout all warehouses that is allocated to outbound order lines. After the inventory is shipped, that is, has left the warehouse, the allocation is deleted. 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 field of the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session. Inventory 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. Default value This field is defaulted from the Committed field of the Item Inventory (tcibd1500s100) session. Ordered The quantity ordered by the sold-to business partner. Committed The committed quantity that is promised to be delivered to the sold-to business partner. Freight Value The value of the goods that are transported. The value in this field is filled from the originating order. You can also manually enter a freight value. The freight value can be used for the calculation of the additional costs. Unit The unit used to express the transported quantity. 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 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.

Related Office The office responsible for initiating, handling and processing the related order. Related Company The company for which the related order is created. E-item Revision The engineering item revision control code. Inventory Handling In Warehousing, items are processed by component or by main item. If an item is processed by component, the components of an item are displayed in the Freight Order Line BOM (fmfoc2503m000) session. If an item is processed by main item, no components are displayed. Freight Class A classification of an item in terms of: Product density (pounds per square foot) Stowage (size, weight, and shape) Handling Liability (the item's value) Freight classification is a criteria that is used to determine an item's transportation price. In LN, a freight class can also serve as a criterion that determines the planning group of order lines. Freight classes are mainly used in the U.S. To be Replanned If this check box is selected, the current freight order line must be replanned. If a freight order line was changed after a load plan was created for the freight order line, the freight order line must be replanned. Unique Shipment Reference per Shipment If this check box is selected, LN creates a unique shipment for each shipment reference number. In other words, a shipment reference will not occur again in another shipment for this business partner. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. Related topics Shipment Building Based on Shipment Reference Single Shipment Reference per Shipment If this check box is selected, LN allows the creation of multiple shipments for the same Shipment Reference. On the other hand, a shipment may not contain different shipment references. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. Related topics Shipment Building Based on Shipment Reference Single Delivery Point per Shipment If this check box is selected, LN groups the outbound advices that have the same delivery point, as shipment lines, in one shipment. A shipment may not contain deliveries to multiple delivery points, unless other shipment building criteria require this. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. Related topics Shipment Building Based on Delivery Points Single Customer Order per Shipment If this check box is selected, LN selects/creates the shipments for the freight order line based on customer order number. LN creates a single shipment for each customer order number. If this check box is selected, following is the impact: LN searches for an existing shipment that can be used to ship the goods. If an existing shipment is not found, LN creates a new shipment for freight order line. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. If the Ship-from Type is not a Warehouse, the customer order number is not displayed. Single Line per Shipment If this check box is selected, only one shipment line is generated below the shipment. The shipment line is generated during the creation of freight planning. Shipment Reference The shipment reference based on which the goods are pickedup 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. Note The field is retrieved from the Outbound Order Lines (whinh2120m000) session. Related topics Shipment Building Based on Shipment Reference Customer Order The customer order number based on which the goods are pickedup from the supplier site. All the shipment lines that have the same customer number are combined into a single shipment. If an existing shipment is not found, LN creates a new shipment for freight order line. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Single Order per Load If this check box is selected, a load can only contain shipment lines generated for all warehouse order sets within one and the same warehouse order. If kit handling is used, the load contains subkits that belong to the same topkit. Related topics Overview of kit handling in Warehouse Management Single Ship-To Code per Load If this check box is selected, LN creates loads that have shipments for only one ship-to code. By default, the check box is clear. For more information, refer to Shipment Building within Freight. Note LN retrieves the value from the Warehousing Order Types (whinh0110m000) session. Related topics Load building based on the Single Ship-to Code per Load check box Order The ID number of the originating order. Office Type The office type of the originating order. Date The entry date of the originating order of the freight order to which the current freight order line belongs. Office Type The office type of the related 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. 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 Freight Order Cluster This field shows the freight order cluster to which the current freight order line belongs. View Overdue Orders Displays a list of delayed freight order lines. All delayed freight order lines earlier than the current date are displayed.
