Carrier/TMG/TMC by Route Plan (fmfoc1153m000)
Use this session to view and maintain the carriers, transport means groups, and transport means combinations available to provide transportation for route plan legs.
This session is available if the Carrier/TMG/TMC by Route Plan check box is selected in the Freight Planning Parameters (fmlbd0100m000) session.
When generating a load plan based on the pooling or consolidation algorithms, LN selects a route plan, route plan leg, or a standard route according to which transportation is to be carried out. For the selected route plan leg, a carrier from this session is selected to provide transportation for the generated load plan.
Field Information
- Route Plan
- Leg Type
-
The type of route plan leg: advance, main, or beyond.
-
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.
-
- Line
-
The identifying number of the leg.
- Route Plan Sequence
-
The sequence number of an advance or beyond leg.
- Carrier/LSP
-
The carrier that is to carry out the transportation of the goods.
- Transport Means Group
-
You can select one of the transport means groups that are defined for the selected carrier. For the transport means group that you select in this field, the Independent Use Allowed check box must be selected.
- Transport Means Combination
-
If a transport means group is selected in the Transport Means Group field, you cannot select a transport means combination. If a carrier is inserted for the current leg, the transport means combination must be attached to this carrier. In the Transport Means Combinations by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0144m000) session, you can attach transport means combinations to carriers.
