As a planner, it can be useful to have the Loading meters calculated based on Vehicle Type and stackability so that the calculation is more accurate
Vehicle Types are used to determine maximum width and height for LDM calculation.
If no Vehicle Type is selected on the order, we calculate 2,4m width (standard value) and 2,6m height
In the Parts masterdata, you can specify the max. stackability of a certain part
you can then specify how many parts should be stacked in the parts & packaging section of the order form
LDM for a material line is calculated as follows:
If limitless stacking is activated, then anything can be stacked with this part without limitations. As a result, the LDM is calculated as a percentage of actual volume used:
LDM = quantity * (part height / vehicle height) * (surface part / surface vehicle for 1LDM)
If no override is provided then the number of stacks is calculated based on the number of parts that can fit in the Vehicle height (or based on the maximum self stackability value provided) OR maximum stacking of the part: minimum (floor(part height/vehicle height); max self stackability)
LDM = roundup(quantity / maxStack) * (surface part / surface vehicle for 1LDM)
If override is provided then we use the maximum self stackability to calculate the maximum Stackability and the override LDM to calculate the stack LDM
LDM = roundup(quantity / maximum self stackability) * overrideLDM
The total LDM on MO/SO/TO level is calculated as follows:
The system combines material lines that have the same part ID, as they could be stacked together.
The exception is when the MO itself has an override LDM value, then this override value is used and the underlying material lines are not part of the calculations
Part-level override LDM if it exists (taking self-stacking into account)
0 if any of L,W,H is null
Calculated LDM using billing Vehicle Type, if this is available
Calculated LDM using standard 2.4m/2.6m
