Question

Options

• ABased on the freight order type in the freight unit building rule
• BBased on the default freight order type
• CBased on the freight order type defined in the freight unit type
• DBased on the freight order type maintained in a condition in the planning profile

• A
  10% (4)
• B
  73% (30)
• D
  17% (7)

Explanation

When using direct shipment to convert a freight unit to a freight order in SAP TM, the system determines the freight order type in two ways: the default freight order type configured in the system (B), or the freight order type explicitly defined within the freight unit type (C) - meaning the type assignment travels with the freight unit itself.

Option A is incorrect because freight unit building rules govern how freight units are constructed from demand documents (combining, splitting, grouping), not which freight order type to use during conversion.

Option D is incorrect because conditions within a planning profile influence planning behavior and optimizer settings, but determining the freight order type during direct shipment conversion is not done via planning profile conditions.

Memory tip: Think "Direct shipment uses Defaults and Defined types" - the freight order type comes from either the system-level Default (B) or the type Defined on the freight unit type (C). Both are straightforward, direct configurations - no complex rules or conditions involved.
