| # Integration Procurement and Freight Freight is the package in LN that handles transportation requirements. Because Procurement is sometimes responsible for the transportation of goods and must consequently collect goods from a supplier, you can generate a freight order from the purchase order. If the transportation of goods is not the supplier's, but the responsibility of Procurement, the supplier must know on what date the goods must be ready. As a result, you must consider the planned load date in the purchase order as the shipment date; when to pick up the goods from the supplier. Integration between Freight Order Control and Procurement During the planning and execution of a freight order, its status often changes.
