		<GeneralSection><Paragraph>In addition to a unique identifying code and a description, a transport means group consists of a few general details and capacity details.</Paragraph>
			<Paragraph>The general details refer to the following properties:</Paragraph>
			<List><ListItem>The transport category (transport by air, by road, and so on).</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The kind of items the transport means group can carry. This is determined by the combination code and transport type selected for a transport means group.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The average speed of the means of transport that belong to a transport means group.</ListItem>
				<ListItem>The transport documents (packing list, packing slip, or Bill of Lading) required for transports that a transport means group carries out. This is determined by the choice of shipment procedure.</ListItem>
			</List>
			<Paragraph>The capacity details refer to the loading capacity of individual means of transport that belongs to a transport means group.</Paragraph>
			<Note><SectionTitle>Note</SectionTitle>
				<Paragraph>The default value 0.0000 in a capacity field in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0150m000#fmlbd410001" role="groupbox">Capacity</GUIRef> group box means that the current transport means group is not available for load building or rough planning using this capacity unit.</Paragraph>
				<Paragraph>If you enter 999999 for a capacity unit, the capacity is limitless for the current transport means group, which means that this capacity will never be a planning constraint.</Paragraph>
