Transportation time in Common

If Freight is not implemented, the distance tables in the Common package are used to determine the transportation time.

The distance tables in Common are defined per transport category, between cities or between ZIP codes. The time distances in these tables are expressed in variable time units.

Conversion factors from the Conversion Factors (tcibd0103m000) session and the Time Unit for Seconds field from the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session are used to plan it on the calendar.

The Usage Distance Tables parameter in the COM Parameters (tccom0000s000) session determines how the ZIP code and city tables are used. This field can be set as follows:

• City
• ZIP/Postal Code
• Both, by City First
• Both, by ZIP Code First

The transport category is retrieved from the carrier. If no carrier is present, the transport category Not Applicable is used.
