Master Loads (fmlbd4510m000)
Use this session to view master loads. A master load is a group of loads that travel a route plan.
A route plan is a network of loading and unloading addresses and can have multiple pooling points. A route plan may consist of more than one advance and beyond legs, but one main leg. All legs start and finish at pooling points but may include pickups and drop-offs in between. For each leg you can specify a separate transport category, transport means group, and/or carrier. The load building engine follows the pooling algorithm to find a planning solution for (a range of) Freight Orders and, based on the criteria such as (un)loading addresses, transport means group, carrier, etc. to find a matching Route Plan. The load building engine then uses the route plan to determine the loads and shipments. For each route plan leg, a load is generated, possibly containing multiple shipments to different addresses. The Master Load session lists all loads per freight order (item) line, that travel through the same route plan.

- Route Plan
- Route Plan Leg
-
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.
- Route Plan Line
-
The identifying number of the route plan leg.
- Route Plan Sequence
-
The sequence number of an advance or beyond leg. The sequence number indicates the order in which the addresses along the route plan legs are called at.
- Freight Order Line
-
The freight order from which the loads of the master load are created.
- Freight Order Line
-
The freight order line from which the loads of the master load are created.
