You can use this report to list certain shipments that match your selection criteria. You can use the list of shipments that the system has generated for information purposes, or you can use it to execute planning activities for the shipments concerned.

You can compile the transportation planning list by entering selection criteria. You can control which fields appear as selection criteria on the selection screen. The initial criteria displayed in the selection screen are taken from the list settings in Customizing for Transportation. For information on changing these settings, see the section entitled Maintain standard selection variants for shipment list in the Implementation Guide.

You can select from two different views on the list screen. One contains general shipping information about the selected shipments. The second view contains information on planned and actual deadlines for individual shipments and the status of planning activities. You can access each shipment document directly from the list to complete planning activities. In the Planner list, you can select several shipments and process these at the same time (the only limitation being that the shipments must have the same shipment type and the same transportation planning point, and must not have the same deliveries).

A planner may use this report to display a list of all shipments to be planned or scheduled. He or she can also use this report as a worklist. For example, he or she enters, as selection criteria, the total shipment status 0 (= in planning), the transportation planning point, the planned check-in date, and the shipment type Truck, since this planner is responsible for planning of shipments by truck.
