A discrepancy is configured with tolerance and blocking. Which of the following blocks are set when a discrepancy outside the configured tolerance is reported for a freight order? Note: There are 3…

Question

Options

• AAn execution block for the freight order
• BAn execution block for the freight unit
• CAn invoicing block for the freight unit
• DA planning block for the freight order
• EAn invoicing block for the freight order

• A
  59% (34)
• C
  26% (15)
• D
  16% (9)

Explanation

In SAP Transportation Management, when a discrepancy outside the configured tolerance is reported for a freight order, the system automatically sets an execution block on the freight order (A) to prevent further processing, an execution block on the freight unit (B) because the freight unit is the affected cargo that needs reconciliation, and an invoicing block on the freight order (E) to prevent billing until the discrepancy is resolved. These three blocks ensure the discrepancy is reviewed before execution proceeds or costs are charged.

Why D is wrong: A planning block for the freight order is not triggered by discrepancy reporting - planning blocks relate to the scheduling/optimization phase, not to execution-stage discrepancies.

Why C is wrong: The invoicing block is placed on the freight order (the transport document), not the freight unit. The freight unit represents the cargo/demand object, and invoicing is tied to the freight order level.

Memory tip: Think "EEI at the FO/FU level" - Execution is blocked at both levels (freight Order + freight Unit), but Invoicing is only blocked at the freight Order level. Planning is never affected because the discrepancy happens after planning is already done.
