| Route Plan Legs (fmfoc1151m000)Use this session to view and maintain route plan legs. Note -
- Use the Maps section to view the location of the Origin Address and the Destination Address. You must select only one record
at a time.
Advance, main, and
beyond legs are used in multi-modal routes, where the pooling planning
algorithm is used. Options on the Specific menu On the Specific menu,
you can access the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session and the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session to define the distance of
the Route Plan Leg. Route Plan A network of loading and unloading addresses, one of which is a
pooling point. A route plan is usually defined for routes that involve
multi-modal transport. A route plan consists of one or more legs. Each leg, or
part of the route, can be handled differently depending on the specified
transport category and transport means group. Leg Type The type of route plan leg:
advance, main, or beyond. The advance leg
is the first part of the route where goods are picked up and transported to a
pooling point, such as an airport, a train station, or a port. The main leg
starts at the pooling point and ends at the intermediate destination. At the
pooling point, the goods from the advance leg are loaded into an aircraft,
ship, train, or truck, and brought to the intermediate destination. The beyond leg
spans the intermediate destination and the final destination. At the
intermediate destination, the goods are transferred from the airplane to trucks
to bring the goods to their final destination.
A route plan may
consist of more than one advance and beyond legs, but one main leg. The first leg that
you define is always of the main type. Line The identifying number of the leg. Transport Category Transport category Note Not Not Applicable means that the Route Plan Leg is
not limited to one particular Transport Category. Transport Means Combination Transport means combination. If a transport means
group is selected in the Transport Means Group field, you cannot select a
transport means combination. If a carrier is inserted for the current leg, the
transport means combination must be attached to this carrier. In the Transport Means Combinations by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0144m000) session, you can attach
transport means combinations to carriers. Transport Means Group You can select one of the transport means groups that
are defined for the selected carrier. For the transport means group that you
select in this field, the Independent Use Allowed check box must be selected. Origin Address The starting address of the route plan leg. Destination Address The destination of the route plan leg. At this address, the
goods are loaded onto another means of transport to begin the next leg, or they
are unloaded if the current leg is the last leg of the route plan. Distance The distance between the origin address and the destination
address of the current route plan leg. If you manually enter a distance, this
distance overwrites the distance defined in the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session and the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session. Note that you can only
insert a distance if the transport category is Not Applicable and no carrier, transport means group, or transport means
combination is entered. Distance The length unit used to express the
distance. Route Plan Sequence The sequence number of an advance or beyond leg. Carrier/LSP The carrier that is to carry out
the transportation of the goods. Travelling Time The time it takes to cover the distance between the origin and
the destination address. The travelling time entered in this field is an
estimate that is used for transport lead time calculations carried out from
sales and purchase orders, when the transport means group is not known. To
carry out such lead time calculations, a route must be defined for the sales or
purchase order and the route plan. When load building is carried out, transport
lead times are calculated by dividing the distances of leg addresses by the
average speed of the specified transport means group. Travelling times can be
defined in the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session and the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session. You can also manually
enter a Travelling Time.
This will overwrite the Travelling Time defined in the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session and the Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session. Travelling Time The time unit used to express the travelling time. | |
