Field Information
- Effective Date
-
In the actual set, or parameter set, the Effective Date field is empty, but the effective date is taken as the default value in the Description field.
In parameter sets that precede the actual set, the effective date is displayed in the Effective Date field.
If you make a change in the actual set, the changed set becomes the new actual set.
- Number Group for Freight Orders
-
The number group that is to be used for freight orders.
- Step Size for Freight Order Lines
-
In this field you can define the interval for freight order line numbers, for example 10, 20, 30, or 5, 10, 15. Therefore, the first freight order line receives number 10, the second number 20, and the third receives number 30, or the first freight order line receives number 5, the second receives number 10, and the third number 15.
- Transport Type
-
The default transport type that is added to new freight orders. If a transport means combination or a transport means group is selected for the current parameter set, the transport type is taken from the transport means combination or transport means group. You must not change this value.
- Transport Means Group
