TM doesn't need Transportation Planning date from delivery. Normally in delivery, transportation planning data is the same as the loading date, they will be mapped to departure date in FO.

Transportation planning date is not mapping in FU, the dates mapping in TM are only the loading date and the delivery date. These dates in delivery will map to start date and end date in FU.

After you plan the FU into FO, the standard behavior is that loading date will map to transportation planning date of delivery.

You say: "Normally in delivery, transportation planning data is the same as the loading date" - that is not correct!!!

Transportation planning date is the date when you need to start transportation planning activities. Loading date is the date when you need to start loading the delivery. Why would those two date be normally the same??? Normally they are different.

I agree with Dominik, those 2 dates are differents.

And they don't have the same purpose.

The transportation planning date should be availble in TM, as it should be used to filter the freight unit to prepare. As this date is not available, how can we filter the freight unit to plan ?
