This value is defaulted from the freight order lines on which the trip is based. Standard Route A standard route is a fixed route that is traveled with a particular frequency, such as a truck that visits delivery and/or loading addresses according to a fixed schedule, a rail service, or a boat service. Usually, transportation via standard routes costs less than travel via non-fixed routes. For example, you can define a route like Amsterdam via Rotterdam to Antwerp that is run once a day. Related topics The use of standard routes Carrier An organization that provides transport services. To use a carrier for load building, freight order clustering, transport cost calculation, and invoicing, you must define the carrier both as a carrier and a buy-from business partner in Common. A carrier is also referred to as a forwarding agent. Transport Means Combination A combined means of transport that consists of various vehicle types and/or means of transport which jointly transport a load. If a transport means combination includes more than one means of transport, Freight Management can perform load building for more than one means of transport per load. Transport means combinations are also used in freight order clustering. A transport means combination shows the combined means of transport that is to transport the goods listed on a freight order cluster. Transport Means Group A classification used to group means of transport, such as: Vans Trucks Container ships Cargo aircraft For each group, properties are defined, such as: The average speed The loading capacity Each means of transport defined in Freight Management belongs to a transport means group. For example, transport means group: Vans, means of transport: van with licence number XX333444 . Related topics The use of transport means groups Means of Transport An individual identifiable means of transport used for freight planning and freight order clustering, such as: Truck Airplane For load building and freight order clustering purposes, Freight Management checks the availability of individual means of transport, if specified for a load or a freight order line.
