Shipper scenario - Assign FUs to a Container Unit

[Former Member]

Dear all

In our export scenario we use 6 types of containers ( Dry -20' and 40'-, HighCube - 40' and 45'- and Open Top -20' and 40'-).  What is the correct steps to process this scenario, according to the sap help and info in some posts I have figured out the following:

1) Create the PO

2) In transportation Cockpit - Create a Container Unit

3) In transportation Cockpit -Manually select the FUs and  assign them to the Container unit

4) In transportation Cockpit - Run planning on the Containers

Are there any way to assign automatically (as if it were optimization) FU to the different types of Containers? or

Assign the FUs to the resource so the system could create the Container units?

Does anyone has gone thru this scenario? All I have read starts with the creation of the container unit but we want to automatize this process

Thank you in advance!

Hi Italo,

We did this using the FUBR. We had clear rules which FUBR to be determined for which scenario and Equipment Type settings in FUBR was used to create containers automatically. Later on these contianer units were used for planning in cockpit.
