Creating Free Capacity Lists 

Use

To create a list for transportation planning with the shipments that still have the available capacity you need, proceed as follows:

Procedure

  1. Choose Environment ® Planning ® Free capacity on the Transportation screen.

    2. You then come to the Shipment List: Free Capacity.

  2. To use other selection criteria, choose Edit ® Selection Options.

    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. Specify the weight or volume of the freight goods to be packed.

    4. The system calculates the capacity (for example, remaining load) on the basis of the packaging material type that you 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 free capacity greater than or equal to the capacity specified in the selection screen.
