Creating a freight order directly from the FUBR is called the short-cut planning process because, in this case, freight units as separate business documents are omitted, and more planning steps are not required because the freight order is created right away.
The purpose of the short-cut process is to skip any planning activities, because these cannot be required in certain scenarios. For example, if the sales orders that are received by a company already state the required truck size, the freight order could be created directly from the transportation demand (in this example, a sale order). Technically, this is done during freight unit building by selecting a freight order type instead of a freight unit type. Thus, freight units are omitted in the scenarios where the transportation demand/requirement exactly matches the to-be-created transportation document.
