Bypass Shipment Rating and Routing

In some industries, such as the automotive industry, the customer specifies the carrier and mode of transportation of a shipment from a supplier and pays the freight charges. To bypass rating and routing when creating shipments, you must specify the carrier and mode of transportation.

You can specify the carrier in these areas:

  • Customer billing instructions.

  • Sales order header or detail.

  • Manually or from Demand Scheduling.

  • Transportation carrier preference.

You specify the mode of transport in these areas:

  • Sales order detail.

  • Manually or from Demand Scheduling.

  • Transportation mode of transport preference.

When you bypass rating and routing, the system does not calculate transportation freight charges and does not enable you to enter freight charges manually or perform manual routing.

To activate this feature, set up the Freight Handling Code UDC (42/FR) with a special handling code of 9. The system uses the special handling code for these programs:

  • Work With Shipments (P4915).

  • Work With Loads (P4960).

  • Sales Order Entry (P4210).

  • Transportation Bill of Lading Build (R49110).

  • Transportation Bill of Lading Print (R49115).

  • Freight Update and Report (R4981).
