Additional Details

The following enhancements have been made:
  • Utilization information for freight orders

    For road freight orders, you can now view the utilization of available capacities in the Manage Freight Orders app.

  • Display of serial numbers

    You can now view the serial numbers of products in the following business documents in Transportation Management:
    • Freight unit

    • Freight order

    • Consignment order

    • Advanced shipping notification (ASN)

    The serial number is based on the outbound delivery information and is read-only.

  • Automatic extension of the planning horizon

    When scheduling is triggered in the Manage Freight Orders app, for example, when you assign a freight unit, the planning horizon is extended automatically using dates/times from the time windows of the freight units to avoid scheduling errors.

Effects on Existing Data

  • Utilization

    In the Manage Freight Orders app, there is a new Utilization tab page that displays the utilization of the capacities that exist in the document. This can be displayed in a hierarchical view for the transportation stages. On the General Data tab of the freight order, you can view the maximum utilization, as well as the total, consumed, and remaining capacity for the truck.

  • Serial numbers

    You can view the serial number of a product in the Manage Freight Orders, Manage Freight Units, Manage Ocean Freight Bookings, and Manage Air Freight Bookings apps, by navigating to the detailed view of the business document. Under the Items tab, select a product. The Serial Numbers tab appears.
