Component documentationLoad Data Capture

 

Load Data Capture is one of the key functional areas within the SAP Agricultural Management solution. It comprises the Load Data Capture (LDC) transaction and the Orchestration Framework (OF) to streamline the capturing, on arrival or departure, of certain attributes of a purchased or sold load. These attributes are used to determine whether a load conforms to the requirements of the contract in a planned scenario, to select an appropriate contract to fulfill, or to generate a spot contract or unassigned load in unplanned scenarios. Load Data Capture allows users to capture weight, grade, and other logistical data for bulk shipments (both inbound and outbound) of agricultural commodity products, while the Orchestration Framework oversees the generation of follow-on documents.

Integration

  • The Load Data Capture component is integrated with the Contract Application and Contract Settlement components.

  • Check the approval status of the Trading Contract as only an approved contract can be used during the LDC creation process. If the ACM contract is not Approved, then a message is displayed asking you to remove the ACM contract number. For more information on Contract Approval, refer to Approving a Commodity Contract
