Create Transport Load

Explanation

The load list is a support function used to organize several customer orders or order lines for delivery at the same time. The orders or order lines connected to a load list are handled as one unit until the goods are dispatched. A load list may consist of order lines from several customer orders and/or customers. A load list can be created at any time in the customer order flow. The only necessary condition is that the customer order has been entered and saved.

Prerequisites

• The customer orders must have been entered and saved to be linked to the load list.
• To enter delivery information, the country code and its address format must have been defined, or any of the existing country codes must be defined as default country. This is done in Address Presentation window.

System Effects

The customer orders or order lines that has been connected to the load list can be treated as one unit during the remaining part of the order flow.

When the load list is delivered, all linked order lines that are pick-reported are delivered at the same time.

If you have entered any delivery information for the load list, this information will be displayed on the printed load list.
