If an executing carrier has created one or more account numbers for you, you can enter and change these on your freight documents.

Prerequisites

  • (Optional) You have entered your account numbers in SAP NetWeaver Business Client (NWBC) under   Master Data   General   Define Business Partner   (in the role Carrier). Enter account numbers for individual purchasing organizations on the Vendor Org. Data tab page and account numbers for your company on the Vendor Company Org. Data tab page.

  • If the executing carrier has created an account number for your company, you can assign the purchasing organizations to your company. For more information, see Customizing for Transportation Management under   Master Data   Organizational Management   Organizational Model   Create Organizational Model  .

Features

You can enter account numbers manually in your freight documents (in the Account No. with Carrier field).

The system can also determine account numbers automatically, provided that you have configured the settings mentioned in the prerequisites above. If you enter or change the purchasing organization or carrier in your freight document (in an air freight booking, this applies to the issuing carrier or local carrier), the system uses the organizational model to determine the corresponding account number and displays it in the freight document. You can overwrite the account number. For air freight bookings, the account number is also displayed in the master air waybill.

In co-load scenarios, you must enter the account number manually.
