Study Notes
Freight Unit Building Rule
- Specifying the critical quantity within the freight unit building rule ensures correct freight unit creation.
- The system calculates the freight unit by considering split quantities, and item split is allowed.
Freight Unit Creation
- The system splits the item into multiple freight units when 'Item Split Allowed' is selected, if the item quantity exceeds the freight unit's critical quantity.
- Planning quantities are significant in freight unit building as they determine the number of freight units created.
Strategies for Freight Unit Creation
- Strategies for creating freight units according to specific requirements are important for efficient transportation management.
- SAP provides a standard strategy for freight unit building, which can be customized according to business needs.
Freight Unit Definition
- A freight unit is a consolidation of items for transportation.
- The basis for building freight units is the item's transportation requirements.
Predecessor Documents
- In embedded TM deployment, predecessor documents for building freight units include delivery, shipment, and transport requests.
- In side-by-side deployment, predecessor documents include shipment, transport requests, and transport orders.
Freight Unit Type Settings
- Important settings defined in the freight unit type include critical quantity, unit of measurement, and transportation relevance.
Transportation Relevance
- Defining transportation relevance determines whether an item is relevant for transportation planning.
- The system uses three options to determine the freight unit building rule during planning: item-level, route-level, and shipment-level.
Freight Unit Creation Parameters
- The system uses parameters such as item quantity, weight, volume, and transportation relevance to group delivery items when creating freight units.
Automatic Freight Unit Creation
- The system creates freight units automatically in situations where items are relevant for transportation planning.
- Freight units are triggered by transportation demands such as shipment, transport requests, and transport orders.
Freight Unit Split Reasons
- More information on Freight Unit Split Reasons can be found in the system's documentation.
