Creating Utilization Lists 

Use

To create a worklist for transportation planning that displays shipments that are not utilized to full capacity, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. In the Shipment, choose List ® Utilization.

    2. You then see the screen Shipment List: Utilization.

  2. To use other selection criteria, choose Edit ® All selections.

    3. To define recurring selection criteria, you can create selection screen variants by choosing Goto ® Variants ® Save as a variant. Then, to retrieve these variants, choose Goto ® Variants ® Get.

  3. Enter the criteria you want to use for selecting the shipment document. Here you specify the utilization rate in percentage (between 0 and 100) with regard to the weight and/or volume allowed for the shipment units in the shipments and for the packaging material type involved.

    4. The system calculates the utilization degree (that is, remaining capacity that can be used) on the basis of the packaging material type you have specified. Only handling units that were created in the shipment (not in the delivery) and for which the corresponding values (such as allowed weight) have been maintained are taken into account. If you do not specify a packaging material type, the packaging material at the highest level of the packing hierarchy is used automatically. For further information, see the help text for the field PackMatltype.

  4. Choose Program ® Execute.

The system lists all shipments that match your selection criteria and have a weight or volume utilization less than or equal to the percentage specified.
