Automatic Assignment of a Load ID 

Use

During the automatic assignment of load IDs, the system checks if the document is TAS-relevant. As part of this, the system compares:

·        For a pick-up: The item data of the corresponding sales document item with the control field data of the load ID.

·        For a shipment: The shipment header data and the vehicle data with the control field data of the load ID.

If they are the same, the system determines the load ID type and searches for non-assigned load IDs for this load ID type.

If the system finds one matching load ID, it assigns this load ID to the SD document item/vehicle.

If the system finds several matching load IDs and the definition of the load ID type in Customizing allows multiple assignment, the system assigns these load IDs to the SD document item/vehicle. If the system finds several matching load IDs but automatic multiple assignment is not possible, you can assign the matching load ID in a dialog box.

Prerequisites

In Customizing, you can determine whether for each load ID type, load IDs are to be automatically assigned to the document items and whether multiple assignment is possible. You make this setting under Industry Solution Oil & Gas (Downstream) ® TD (Transportation and Distribution) ® TAS (Terminal Automation System Interface) ® Define load ID (LID) types and assign control structures.
