Execute Load Build - Order Optimizing
Application component: Load Building
App type: SAP GUI
Description:  Load building allows you to manually combine existing purchase orders. The system supports you in the following: Combining purchase orders as required Combining existing purchase orders and purchase orders for promotions Processing purchase orders generated in automatic load building but not yet released Releasing purchase orders Displaying optimized purchase orders You can also use the manual load building functions for vendors not participating in the automatic load building procedure. 
Key features:  Unlike automatic load building, manual load building can be used for ordering goods from several vendors in the one purchase order. If you use your own means of transport, you can use restriction profiles not specific to any vendor. Manual load building is used to combine purchase orders issued to different vendors for different recipients. The following cases are possible: One vendor, one distribution center   A vendor delivers the merchandise for several purchase orders in the one truck to a distribution center. This results in lower transport costs and better purchase prices simply by making full use of the scaled conditions granted by the vendor. Several vendors, one distribution center   Your own company truck drives around all the vendors in the Boston area and brings the goods to one distribution center in New York. This reduces transport costs. However, the smaller quantities mean that you cannot achieve any better conditions.
