         <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 belong 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#fmlbd4100.01" 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>
