Function documentationManual Creation of Import Freight Bookings Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

If there is no export freight booking in your system and you have received the relevant data by fax, for example, you can create the corresponding import freight booking manually.

Prerequisites

In Customizing for Transportation Management, you have created a freight booking type with the transport direction Import. For more information, see Customizing under   Freight Order Management   Freight Booking   Define Freight Booking Types  .

Features

An import freight booking that you create manually is the same as an import freight booking that is created automatically. Unlike with import freight bookings created automatically, all fields are ready for input. You can also enter a free-of-charge storage period.

You can create one or more forwarding orders directly from the import freight booking created manually. This is assigned to the import freight booking automatically.

The following constraints apply to import freight bookings that are created manually:

  • You cannot perform subcontracting.

  • Import freight bookings are not relevant for planning.

  • Schedules are not supported.

  • You cannot draw master air waybill numbers from stock or return them to stock. You can enter MAWB numbers manually, however. The system checks the accuracy of these numbers.

  • You cannot create freight orders for pick-up and can only create freight orders for delivery.

  • The booking confirmation status and uplift confirmation status are not supported.
