Usually, transportation via standard routes costs less than travel via non-fixed routes. For example, you can define a route like Amsterdam via Rotterdam to Antwerp that is run once a day.

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 standard route, 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.

Related topics The use of transport means groups Multiple means of transport by load Route You can link a standard route to route. Routes are used in other LN packages. Start Date The date and time as from which the standard route is traveled. This is the first date and time of the period defined in the Dates and Times by Standard Route (fmlbd0155m000) session. Execution Frequency The frequency with which the service is run. The number that you enter in the Update Actual Load Data field is the period, expressed in days, in which the service is run once. For example, enter five if the carrier travels the standard route once in five days, enter one if the service is run once every day. The execution frequency that you define in this field applies to the date and time range that you define in the Dates and Times by Standard Route (fmlbd0155m000) session. If you define a frequency of once in five days, and you enter a date and time range from January 10th to July 10th, the service is run once in five days between January 10th and July 10th.
