| Warehouse - Dock Locations (whwmd2120m000) |  |
| Use this session to set up and manage the search structure for docks. Docks can be assigned to a business partner or an item, and can be of type Receiving or Staging. If the dock is of type: Receiving: you can assign the dock to a ship-from business partner. Staging: you can assign the dock to a ship-to business partner. Dock locations are used, for example, if items must be received into a specific dock because these items require a special form of transport. Locations are created in the Warehouse - Locations (whwmd3500m000) session. Locations used as docks have one of the location types that indicate the dock locations. You can enter these dock locations into the search structure. For more information, refer to Dock Locations - Search Criteria You can leave the business partner and/or the item empty. If the business partner is empty and the item code is filled, a dock location is recommended for a specific item without regarding the business partner. The same applies if the item is empty and the business partner is filled. If both are empty, a dock location is recommended, regardless of item and business partner. The search structure has the following priority: Look for a specific item and a specific business partner. Look for a specific item without a business partner. Look for a specific business partner without an item. Look for a dock location without a business partner and without an item. If no dock locations exist, the default receiving or staging location is taken. This default location is defined at warehouse level ( Warehouses (whwmd2500m000). Dock locations are used at the moment warehousing orders are generated or entered manually. Dock locations enable you to ship or receive from the correct dock. Only warehouses that use locations, as indicated in the locations field, can use dock locations. These warehouses must have at least one dock location of type Receiving and one of type Staging, however, they can have more. Performance aspects A limited number of staging and dock locations may affect system performance. For more information, refer to Number of staging locations.

Terms of Delivery | The terms or agreements concerning the delivery of goods.
Terms of Delivery | The terms or agreements concerning the delivery of goods.
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. Note The field is unavailable in case the Freight Management (FM) check box is not selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.

Route Plan | A network of loading and unloading addresses, one of which is a pooling point. A route plan is usually defined for routes that involve multi-modal transport. A route plan consists of one or more legs. Each leg, or part of the route, can be handled differently depending on the specified transport category and transport means group. Note The field is unavailable in case the Freight Management (FM) check box is not selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.

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 . Note The field is unavailable in case the Freight Management (FM) check box is not selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.

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. Note The field is unavailable in case the Freight Management (FM) check box is not selected in the Implemented Software Components (tccom0500m000) session.

Transport type | A code that refers to special properties of a means of transport, or of a transport means group, such as: Cold storage Armored; high security Transport types are used in the load building and freight order clustering engines of the Freight Management package. The main purpose of Transport types is to ensure that items are transported by a means of transport that has particular properties. Transport types are also used as a criterion to determine the costs of transportation.
