You can enter the following discrepancies in your business documents in freight order management (freight order, freight booking, trailer unit, and railcar unit):

Prerequisites

You have defined discrepancy types in Customizing for Transportation Management. For more information, see Customizing under   Freight Order Management   Define Discrepancy Types  .

Features

When you enter discrepancies for a transportation stage, the system automatically adjusts the actual quantities in the documents of following transportation stages. However, the cargo receipt status for these transportation stages is not displayed, because they are still not in execution. In addition, the system adjusts the related freight units and displays information about discrepancies in these freight units.

If there are unresolved discrepancies, the system automatically sets a planning and execution block for the following transportation stages. In Customizing (Define Discrepancy Types) as well as in your freight order, freight booking, trailer unit, or railcar unit, you can select a checkbox to prevent the block from being set:

  • Execution block or invoicing block for the freight order, freight booking, trailer unit, or railcar unit

  • Planning and execution block for freight units

Note Note

You can search for forwarding orders that have discrepancies.

End of the note.

If there are any unsolved discrepancies in a document, you cannot set the freight execution status to Cargo Ready for Unloading. If there is a block on an unsolved discrepancy, no goods receipt may take place, this means that you cannot set the cargo receipt status.

If you remove a freight unit with a discrepancy from a business document, in other words, if you remove the assignment, the discrepancy and the block still remain in the freight unit. In contrast, the discrepancy and the block remain in the business document.
