Container
The management of freight containers is included in the logistics chain. Freight containers are used in the Shipments management in order to manage the Transportation of purchase orders to their delivery point.
In this function, select the lines of the orders to ship. It can be full orders for which you can decide to keep or discard the initially planned quantities. You can also pick a selection of lines and modify their initial quantity.
These lines can come from several orders, sites and suppliers, provided that they belong to the same legal company.
However, you cannot select order lines already associated directly with a shipment.
You can modify or delete a freight container as long as it is not associated with a shipment.

Data
Site (field FCY) |
This field is used to specify the site to which the purchase orders that you wish to select are attached.

Supplier (field BPSNUM) |
This field allows you to specify the supplier to which the purchase orders that you wish to select are attached. The choice of a supplier thus allows you to filter the selection panel with only the purchase orders placed with this supplier.

Full (field FULFLG) |
Select this flag to signal that the freight container is filled. This flag is only present for information purposes. |
Available volume (field AVAVOL) |
This non-modifiable field specifies the available volume of the freight container, that is to say, the usable volume from which the total volume of the selected lines is subtracted. No blocking control is applied to potential overload. When the maximum authorized loading volume has been reached, the available volume displayed is null but you can keep adding order lines. |
Filling rate (field TXWOU) |
This field displays the fill rate of the freight container with respect to the usable volume. It cannot be modified. It is automatically calculated during the validation of the creation or the modification of the container. You can also recalculate it by using the action Total recalculation. |
