Means of Transport (fmfmd0155m000)

Use this session to view and maintain individual means of transport. Means of transport are not mandatory for load building purposes, but you can define means of transport to perform load building for individual means of transport. If you define means of transport, you must link them to a transport means group and a carrier. You can specify one or more individual means of transport for a freight order line or a load. Each means of transport belongs to a transport means group.
