Load Data Capture (LDC)
Once a purchased load arrives, certain attributes of the load must be captured. These attributes are used to determine whether a load conforms to the quality, optionality, and tolerance requirements of the contract in a planned business scenario, and to select an appropriate contract to fulfill or generate a spot contract in unplanned scenarios.
Load Data Capture is integrated with the Orchestration Framework to trigger a call to a stack of functions. For more information, see the component documentation for Load Data Capture.
Load Data Capture is integrated with the SAP application document. The application document is used to link a load quantity (captured during LDC) to a pricing contract during the application process. For more information, see the documentation for Load Data Capture: Integration with Application Document.
Load Data Capture is integrated with the nomination,, the scheduling and communication document used in the Trader's and Scheduler's Workbench (TSW). A load can be captured using the nomination as the reference document. For more information, see the documentation for Load Data Capture: Integration with Nomination and TSW.
