You can use this function to create, edit, and display freight orders.

Prerequisites

You have defined freight order types in Customizing. You define the most important settings for the freight order in the freight order type. For more information, see Customizing for Transportation Management under   Freight Order Management   Freight Order   Define Freight Order Types  .

Features

Creation of Freight Orders

You have the following options:

  • Manual Creation

    For more information, see Manually Creating Freight Orders.

  • Creation from Transportation Planning

    In interactive planning (manual planning and VSR optimization) and in planning in the background, freight orders are created as a result of transportation planning.

    For more information, see Planning and Planning Run.

    Alternatively, you can choose New in the transportation cockpit to create a freight order directly. You can also create, for example, a freight order for a trailer in this way. For more information about creating freight orders for trailers, see Use of Trailers.

  • Direct Creation from a Business Document in Forwarding Order Management (FWM Business Documents)

    For more information, see Direct Creation of Freight Orders and Direct Creation of Freight Documents and Selection of Schedules.

  • Creation by Copying

    You can create a freight order by copying an existing one (reference document). The system copies the header data and the logistical data. However, it does not copy references to freight units and execution information.

  • Creation Based on a Schedule

    You can use the report /SCMTMS/MP_SCHED_CREATE_TOR to create a freight order based on a schedule. For more information, see the system documentation.
