Definition

If the product cannot be delivered to the selected destination, several options exist in the delivery confirmation process to determine where the product should go.

Left-on-Vehicle

The product can be left on the vehicle in the compartment into which it was loaded. Leaving product on the vehicle means that the next shipment using the same vehicle has a prior-to-load quantity. The prior-to-load quantity can be used to form part of the next shipment using that vehicle.

You can return product to the delivering plant, if it is not to be delivered to the intended destination. This process is carried out at the compartment level.

Rebrand

You can rebrand product upon its return to the delivering plant. This allows product which had been rebranded during loading to be returned to the correct tank within the delivering plant.

Return

You can return product either to the delivering plant or another plant at which the material is held. The return date and time are then used in the material movement posting.

Vehicle Reconciliation

A report can be used to reconcile left-on-vehicle and prior-to-load quantities for a specified period of time. The report displays quantities which have been left on the vehicle and not assigned to any subsequent shipments during loading confirmation. To run this report, choose  Logistics Sales and Distribution Bulk transportation Environment Vehicle reconcile. You can select the vehicle to be reconciled by entering the necessary selection criteria in the TD Vehicle reconciliation screen.
