How to automatically build freight unit?

[Former Member]

Hi guys,

I'm learning SAP TM, playing around feight unit.

But I'm not clear about the whole picture here.

In fwo type customizing, I can check the "Automatic Freight Unit Building"  flag and assign a default FUBR.

But how the system is going to automatically build the freight unit of a FWO?

And in FUBR creation, I'll specify some strategies and quantity stuff. There's not a field where I can specify which FU type to use.

So how is FWO, FUBR and FU type linked together?

I tried to create a fwo, but there's no fu built. what's the preconditions for the system to build FU automatically?

Hello Aaron,

The linking goes like this (documents ordered in order that they need to be created/added)

FU Type -> FUBR -> Assign to FWO Type

You can assign a FUBR to a FWO type in 2 ways:

1. Directly in the 'Freight Unit Building Rule' field
2. Via a BRF+ condition using the ' FU Building Rule Condition' field

You can also assign a FUBR to a FWO directly but that definitively is not automatic.

Hope that helps

Hi Aaron,

When the FWO saving, it would build the freight unit auotmatically.

The filed "Document Type" in FUBR is used to specify the FU type.

So the FWO build the FU base on the FUBR which maintain in the FWO type.
