Function documentationPick-up and Delivery Freight Orders Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

In sea transportation, you use freight orders for pick-up to transport containers from the container freight station to the loading port. You use freight orders for deliveries to transport containers from the unloading port to the container freight station.

In air transportation, you use freight orders for pick-up to transport unit load devices or loose goods from the source gateway to the airline's delivery address. You use freight orders for delivery to transport unit load devices or loose goods from the pick-up address of the airline to the target gateway.

Prerequisites

  • You have created and saved sea freight bookings.

  • You have defined a standard order type for your freight orders for pick-ups and deliveries in Customizing. For more information, see Customizing for Transportation Management under   Freight Order Management   Freight Booking   Define Freight Booking Types  .

Features

You create freight orders for pick-up and delivery of one or more containers or ULDs or for loose goods (air cargo only) from your freight bookings. A container, a ULD, or loose goods can be assigned to one freight order only.

You can create several freight orders for a sea freight booking. Moreover, you can create a freight order for multiple air freight bookings. This is also possible if you use a mixed ULD for air cargo the goods of which are from different air freight bookings but for the same flight (see Mixed Unit Load Device). You can also assign additional air freight bookings or individual air freight booking items to the freight orders retroactively. Multi-pickup and multi-delivery scenarios are supported. This means that the source gateways and delivery addresses can be different for a freight order for pick-up. Similarly, the pick-up addresses and destination gateways can be different for a freight order for delivery.

The corresponding documents are displayed in the document flow of the freight order and the corresponding sea freight booking.

The corresponding freight order is also displayed in the container or unit load device details (Cargo Management tab page).

The system copies the seal information from the sea freight booking to the corresponding freight order. You can enter more seals in the freight order.

The system automatically copies the following changes to the sea freight bookings to the corresponding freight order:

  • Item changes

  • Location changes

    The system copies the following changes to the corresponding freight order for the pick-up:

    • Pick-up location

    • Port of loading or airport of departure

    • Delivery address at port of loading (ocean freight) or delivery address of carrier (air freight)

    The system copies the following changes to the corresponding freight order for the delivery:

    • Delivery location

    • Port of discharge or airport of destination

    • Pick-up address at port of discharge (ocean freight) or pick-up address of carrier (air freight)

  • Changes to dates/times

    The system copies changes to the pick-up date and cargo cut-off date/time to the corresponding freight order for pick-up. The system copies changes to the delivery date and port pick-up date/time (ocean freight) or availability date/time (air freight) to the corresponding freight order for delivery.

  • Changes to the seals

If you change the handling execution status of your sea freight booking, the system also adjusts this status automatically in the corresponding freight order. Conversely, it adjusts the status of the corresponding transportation stop in the sea freight booking if you change this status in the freight order.

The system automatically copies the following changes to a freight order to the related freight booking:

  • Change of the cargo receipt status

  • Entering or solving discrepancies

In the air freight booking, you can display in the related freight or when the freight for the delivery is ready for unloading.

Activities
