Transport Means Combinations (fmfmd0142m000)

Field Information

Transport Means Combination

transport means combination

Transport Category

The transport category of the transport means combination.

The following transport categories are available:

• Transport by Sea
• Transport by Rail
• Transport by Road
• Transport by Air
• Transport by Inland Waterway
• Not Applicable

If you select a transport means group in the Transport Means Group field, the transport category of the transport means combination must be identical to the transport category of the transport means group.

Transport Type

The transport type for the current transport means combination. If you select a transport type, the current transport means combination is only available for items with the same transport type.

Note that you cannot change the transport type if the current transport means combination associated with the current transport type is used in:

• loads
• freight order clusters
• The Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000) session
• The Items - Ship-from/to Business Partner (fmfmd2100m000) session

Combination Code

The combination code for the current transport means combination. If you select a combination code, the current transport means combination is only available for items with matching combination codes.

If a combination code and a transport type is filled for the current transport means combination, the combination code of the transport means combination must be identical to the combination code of the transport type, if the transport type has a combination code.

Note that you cannot change the combination code if the current transport means combination associated with the current combination code is used in:

• loads
• freight order clusters
• The Items - Freight Management (fmfmd1100m000) session
• The Items - Ship-from/to Business Partner (fmfmd2100m000) session

Shipment Procedure

The default shipment procedure for the current transport means combination.

Calendar

The identification code of the calendar of the transport means combination.

Average Speed

The average speed of the transport means combination.

The average speed is used to calculate the time required for transportation between two addresses if the distance between them is known. The average speed is used in load building. Distances between addresses are maintained in the Distance Table by City (tccom4537m000) session and Distance Table by ZIP Code/Postal Code (tccom4538m000) session.

The average speed is expressed in the default distance and time units set in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session.

Speed Unit in Length

The distance unit that is used to express the average speed.

Average Speed

The default time unit for hours. The default time unit for hours is set in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session.

Load Planning

If this check box is selected, freight orders for which the current transport means group is selected are available for load building. If this check box is cleared, freight orders for which the current transport means group is selected are available for freight order clustering.

Text

If this check box is selected, additional information about the transport means group is available..

Maximum Planning Percentage

The percentage of the available loading capacity that can be utilized. The available loading capacity is the average loading capacity of the transport means groups of the means of transport and vehicle types that belong to the current transport means combination. You can change the default value of 100%.

Capacity in Weight

The capacity in weight expresses the aggregated weight capacity of the transport means groups of the means of transport and vehicle types that belong to the current transport means combination.

Weight Unit

The weight unit that expresses the capacity in weight. You can overwrite the Freight default weight unit. The Freight default measuring units are set in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Freight master-data parameters are mandatory.

Capacity in Volume

The capacity in volume expresses the aggregated volume capacity of the transport means groups of the means of transport and vehicle types that belong to the current transport means combination.

Volume Unit

The volume unit that expresses the capacity in volume. You can overwrite the default volume unit. The Freight default measuring units are set in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Freight master-data parameters are mandatory.

Capacity in Floor Space

The capacity in area expresses the aggregated area capacity of the transport means groups of the means of transport and vehicle types that belong to the current transport means combination.

Area Unit

The area unit that expresses the capacity in surface area. You can overwrite the default area unit. The default Freight measuring units are set in the Freight Master Data Parameters (fmfmd0100m000) session. Master data parameters are mandatory.

Capacity in Pieces

The aggregated capacity expressed in piece units for the transport means groups of the means of transport and vehicle types that belong to the current transport means combination.

Piece Unit

The piece unit for the current transport means combination.
