Posted by Typewriter

Scenario -
A customer has LTL orders. Your company transports these orders to the customer.

Customer wants your company to send the truck only when it is full.

1 Is above understanding correct?

2 Does a truck contain goods of a single customer? Do you have 1 SHTo address & 1 shipping point?

3 Is your requirement a reporting tool, to know the percentage of trucks that were not fully occupied for a particular time period (trucks send to customer)?

4 Or your requirement also covers - how to combine outbound orders in to shipment to fulfill the goal of FTL by system (and not manually)?

5 Could you explain the below -
"The dates do not align so our post-shipment reporting is not reflective of our ability to respond to their needs."

Hello fellow SAP users!

We have some number of customers (and the number seems to be growing) who want to send us less-than-truckload orders on a daily basis but they want them held until there is enough product for a truck load then ship. This has gotten to the point where we can't manage it manually and be effective. The dates do not align so our post-shipment reporting is not reflective of our ability to respond to their needs. Any insights or like experiences that anyone can share would be most appreciated. Please let me know if I should supply more definitive information.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.
