Transport and Deliveries build-up

Transport and Deliveries consists of:

  1. Containers - To package delivery items from the planning line as part of the delivery shipment. Containers are also the basis for the Transport Orders as the container detail line not only carries the item information but also the shipping details like shipping address, - method, - agent and agent service code.
  2. Transport Orders - Combines containers in a transport from pickup to delivery. A Transport Order is created from a container or the container is added to an existing transport order if it matches the same shipping information and still has the status open. Transport Costs can be added and posted to be retrieved and matched in purchase invoices from the shipping agent.
  3. Delivery Trips - Add transport planning by combining transport orders in a delivery trip.
