bucket A time period.
business document A superordinate term for the categories of the business objects in transportation management.
These categories include, for example, the following:
Forwarding order
Forwarding quotation
Order-based transportation requirement
Delivery-based transportation requirement
Freight orderFreight booking
Freight unit
business-to-business
communication
A process by which information can be exchanged between business partners across company
boundaries using electronic transactions.
calculation sheet A hierarchical table used to calculate transportation charges.
The calculation sheet combines the charge types permitted for a document and the sequence in
which the system takes these charge types into account during the calculation.
8/10/2019 Transportation Management Glossary

carrier schedule A list of transportation stops that you can use to define the actual route taken by the carrier and to
book capacity.
cash discount terms The subtraction of a certain amount (typically expressed as a percentage of the total amount) as
cash discount when making payment within a specified period.
charge line A line item of a charge item.
There can be more than one charge line for a charge item, depending on the charge type and
resolution base of the charge item.
A charge item at the header level of a freight order and with Packageas the resolution base
generates a separate charge line for each package.

clipping Freight calculation where you work through a pricing scale level-by-level. When doing so, the
calculation results from each scale level are added up (= clipping) to produce the overall result.
Example
A load weighing 12 tons is to be transported. The scale levels for the individual freight rates are
defined with the following values:
Up to 5 tons: 50 Euro absolute
Up to 7 tons: 14 Euro per ton
Up to 10 tons: 13 Euro per ton
Up to 15 tons: 12 Euro per ton
If you do not use clipping, the 12 tons would fall into the "up to 15 tons" scale level and the freight
rate would be 12 Euro per ton. The cost to transport the load would then be 12 tons * 12 Euro/ton =
144 Euro.
If you use clipping, the system calculates the scale levels as follows:
5 tons for 50 Euro = 50 Euro (first scale level)
2 tons at 14 Euro/ton = 28 Euro (up to second scale level)
3 tons at 13 Euro/ton = 39 Euro (up to third scale level)
2 tons at 12 Euro/ton = 24 Euro (remainder in the fourth scale level)
----------------------------------------------------------------
Total: 12 tons = 141 Euro

collect agreement party The business partner with whom a freight agreement is made for the last part of a transport,
according to agreed Incoterms.
The system bases charge calculations on the agreement made with the collect agreement party.
The collect agreement party may also be the collect bill-to party and the collect payer.
For example, the Incoterms agreed between a seller and a buyer in a transport from Germany to the
U.S. is FOB (Free On Board) from location Hamburg. The seller pays for the transportation charges
to Hamburg and the buyer pays for the charges from Hamburg to the U.S. The system uses the
collect agreement party to calculate the charges in the invoice for the buyer.
collect bill-to party The business partner that is billed for the last part of a transport, according to agreed Incoterms.
The collect bill-to party is not necessarily the payer.
For example, the Incoterm agreed between a seller and a buyer in a transport from Germany to the
U.S. is FOB (Free On Board) from location Hamburg. The seller pays for the transportation charges
to Hamburg and the buyer pays for the charges from Hamburg to the U.S. In this example, the buyer
is the collect bill-to party.
collect payer The business partner that pays for the last part of a transport, according to agreed Incoterms.
The collect payer may not necessarily be the collect bill-to party.

can be allocated correctly.
These entities include weight, volume, or number of items.
data binding The linking of a data object to an element in the ABAP dictionary or to a global data type (GDT) in
the Enterprise Service Repository (ES Repository).
A data object can also be bound to a BRFplus data object that already exists.
default route The sequence of transshipment locations for a given pair of locations that you can use to identify the
route for a forwarding order.
deficit weight rating Calculation of the price for transporting a greater weight than the actual total weight of the goods to
be transported with the aim of achieving a lower price. Here the difference between the actual
8/10/2019 Transportation Management Glossary
61/109
(C) SAP AG 61
weight and the billed weight is included in the freight calculation as a weight, even though only "air"
is being transported. The transportation consists of at least two loads with different freight rates. The
deficit weight is calculated using the lowest freight rate.
A transportation consists of two loads with two different freight rates.
500 kg of freight class 1 (freight rate is 1.50 Euro per kg up to 1000 kg) and 400 kg of freight class 2
(freight rate is 2.50 Euro per kg up to 1000 kg)
Calculation
500 kg * 1.5 Euro/kg = 750 Euro (for load 1)
+ 400 kg * 2.5 Euro/kg = 1000 Euro (for load 2)
-------------------------------------------------
900 kg for 1750 Euro
500 kg of freight class 1 (freight rate is 1 Euro per kg as of 1000 kg) and 400 kg of freight class 2
(freight rate is 2 Euro per kg as of 1000 kg)
Calculation
500 kg * 1 Euro/kg = 500 Euro (for load 1)
+ 400 kg * 2 Euro/kg = 800 Euro (for load 2)
+ 100 kg * 1 Euro/kg = 100 Euro (deficit weight always with lowest
tariff)
-------------------------------------------------
1000 kg for 1400 Euro
The rate for a total of 1000 kg is much lower than the rate for the actual 900 kg.

transportation allocation Stores information about carrier allocations in geographical areas with specific means of transport. A
transportation allocation describes constraints of a maximum and minimum available transportation
allocation that is used, for example, during carrier selection. A transportation allocation also stores
allocated quantities which are also used, for example, during carrier selection.
transportation charge calculation A process in charge management that uses the following existing master data:
Agreement
Calculation sheet
Scale
Rate
In this process, the system calculates and evaluates the calculation sheet.
transportation charge item The level in a forwarding order or freight order at which the system calculates transportation charges
or determines a calculation sheet or agreement.
The level can be at header, item, or stage level, and is specified in the Settlement Profile during
Customization.

transportation charge processing The creation and maintenance of transportation charge documents.
transportation charge rate A price for a certain transportation service that is only valid for the period as defined by its validity.
A rate is listed in a rate table.
transportation charge scale A dimension of a rate.
A scale is used to define a parameter that then defines a rate. For example, if a rate depends upon
distance and weight, you must define a separate scale for distance and for weight. The distance and
weight scales are then used to define the rate.
transportation charge type The classification of a charge line that determines how the system calculates the transportation
charges for the charge line, for example, a base rate, surcharge, or discount.
A charge type can result in a positive or negative value for a charge line. You can also specify
whether a charge type can be an amount or a percentage value.
transportation lane A relationship between two locations, two transportation zones or a combination of locations and
zones that expresses the direct reachability of the locations, or of all locations within the zones for a
specific means of transport.

charges.
For example, unplanned charges, such as waiting fees at a port, arise at a handover point between
a carrier for a seller and a carrier for a buyer. The carrier for the buyer charges the unplanned
waiting fees directly to the carrier for the seller. The carrier for the buyer specifies the carrier for the
seller as the unplanned business partner when creating the invoice.

Clipping Frachtkalkulation, bei der eine Preisstaffel schrittweise abgearbeitet wird. Dabei werden die
Berechnungsergebnisse aus jedem Staffelschritt aufaddiert (= Clipping), um das Gesamtergebnis zu
erhalten.
Beispiel
Ein Transport besteht aus einer Ladung mit 12 to Gewicht. Die Staffelstufen zu den einzelnen Frachtraten
sind festgelegt mit folgenden Werten:
bis 5 to Gewicht: 50 Euro absolut
bis 7 to Gewicht: 14 Euro je Tonne
bis 10 to Gewicht: 13 Euro je Tonne
bis 15 to Gewicht: 12 Euro je Tonne
Ohne Clipping lgen 12 Tonnen in der Staffelstufe "bis 15 Tonnen" und damit die Frachtrate bei 12 Euro je
Tonne. Der Transportpreis wre dann 12 Tonnen * 12 Euro/Tonne = 144 Euro.
Beim Clipping der Staffelstufen berechnet das System folgende
