Manual Planning and Wrong Stop Sequence Problem in Transportation Cockpit.

[mustafa_74199]

Hi everyone,

I will try to explain about my question very basically.

In advance, i recommend you not to go further if you are not familiar with the terms like Transportation Cockpit, FU, FO, Planning, Return Pallets, Stop Sequence. Otherwise it is possible that i see some comments below, which claim that my question is not so obvious and understandable.

The problem is so basic. In our Transportation Cockpit (with custom layout) there is no problem when i assign any FU to a FO. Stop sequence is being created in a true order.

But we have another custom layout in which we do also some manual planning for leftover pallets. This time we have a button called 'Create Road Freight Order'. (Technical name of this button is AID_REQDOC_CREATE_FOROAD). When user selects a FU and hits this button (below picture), a new FO is created and at the same time this selected FU is assigned to this newly created FO.

And during this process, the stop sequence is created wrong. At least i think so. If i am wrong please let me know.

Here is the stop sequence of a newly created FO with 1 FU inside.

It is even worse when there are also return pallets (coming to warehouse from store).

I have the feeling that, the root cause of this problem is that, creation of the FO and assignment to it are being held at the same time.

I can also give you some class names just as a clue. Here they are:

- /SCMTMS/CL_MP_OP

- /SCMTMS/CL_MP_OP_A_STAGE_TOR

- /SCMTMS/CL_PLN_MP_DATA

- /SCMTMS/CL_PLN_MP_FACTORY

Please never hesitate to write if you have any idea or knowledge.

In your scenario for the Return from Store to Warehouse will be manage with a Delivery return? If so, you should have a FU from Store to Warehouse.

Hi Mustafa,

The FU has only one stage or two according you might Wh to Store - Store to Wh?

could you check the Oss note:2138818 - Determination of business partner and location does not work correctly in Freight Order - ...

check the customizing point of these FO document type you're using according note explain.

Hello Rogerio,

Thanks for your reply. I checked the note you sent. All configurations are same with the generally used layout.

I think what i see in our leftover layout is a normal behaivour. Because inside it, creation of a FO happens at the same time with the assignment of the FU inside this being created FO.

So i don't think that there is something to fix and search for an snote.

The best experience for me within this issue was that, while coding in TM, developer should be carefull when using the stop sequence. Especially if FOs are created in different processes. Because the logic of stop sequence can be different.

Let me explain with an example:

- (Custom Logic) If there is just 1 return pallet, then the first stop will be the WH. Truck will start from WH, arrive to store, load and come back to WH and unload. So last will be also the WH.

- (Standard Logic) If there is just 1 return pallet, then the first stop will be the STORE. Truck will start from the store, load and come back to WH and unload. So last will be also the WH.

Conclusion, if developers assumes that the first stop will always be the WH, then this logic will not work in every cases. (In our case it won't work in a standard manual planning.)

Regards.
