Carrier/TMG/TMC by Standard Route (fmlbd0153m000)Use this session to view and maintain the carriers, transport means groups, and transport means combinations available to provide transportation for standard routes. This session is available if the Carrier/TMG/TMC by Standard Route check box is selected in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session. When generating a load plan based on the pooling or consolidation algorithms, LN selects a route plan or a standard route according to which transportation is to be carried out. For the selected standard route, a carrier from this session is selected to provide transportation for the generated load plan. If you leave the Transport Means Group or Transport Means Combination fields blank, all transport means groups or transport means combinations of the carrier are available.
Standard Route A standard route is a fixed route that is traveled with a particular frequency, such as a truck that visits delivery and/or loading addresses according to a fixed schedule, a rail service, or a boat service. 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. Carrier/LSP An organization that provides transport services. To use a carrier for load building, freight order clustering, transport cost calculation, and invoicing, you must define the carrier both as a carrier and a buy-from business partner in Common. 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. 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 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.
