         <FuncDesc>If this check box is selected, the capacity of the
		  available transport means groups or transport means combinations is checked
		  when load building is carried out.</FuncDesc>
         <SimpleSection>
            <Paragraph>The capacity of a transport means groups is calculated by
			 multiplying the transport means group capacity defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0150m000" role="session">Transport Means Groups (fmfmd0150m000)</GUIRef> session by the number of vehicles defined in
			 the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0152m000" role="session">Transport Means Groups by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0152m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The capacity of a transport means combinations s is
			 calculated by multiplying the transport means combination capacity defined in
			 the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0150m000" role="session">Transport Means Groups (fmfmd0150m000)</GUIRef> session by the number of transport means
			 combinations defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0144m000" role="session">Transport Means Combinations by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0144m000)</GUIRef> session. Note that the
			 capacity of a transport means combination is derived from the transport means
			 groups attached to the vehicle types of the transport means
			 combination.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>For example, if carrier ABC has transport means combination
			 TMC1. The number of combinations defined in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0144m000" role="session">Transport Means Combinations by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0144m000)</GUIRef> session is 10. Transport means
			 combination TMC1 has vehicle type TRAILER with transport means group TMG A. The
			 loading capacity of TMG A is 20 tons. Therefore, the total loading capacity of
			 TMC1 is 10 (number of combinations) * 20 tons (capacity of the transport means
			 group) = 200 tons.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>The load building engine checks how much of the total
			 loading capacity of the available transport means groups or transport means
			 combinations is allocated to loads with the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#actl" role="option">Actual</GUIRef> or
			 higher than <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/domains/foc.lnst#actl" role="option">Actual</GUIRef> status. A load plan cannot be created for a
			 particular group of freight orders if the capacity of the available transport
			 means groups or transport means combinations is insufficient.</Paragraph>
         </SimpleSection>
         <SimpleSection>
            <Paragraph>The load building engine checks both the capacity and the
			 numbers of both transport means groups and transport means combinations, as you
			 can see in the following example. The numbers of available transport means
			 groups are maintained in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0152m000#fmfmd052.nmot" role="manual">Number of Means of Transport</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0152m000" role="session">Transport Means Groups by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0152m000)</GUIRef> session, and the numbers of
			 available transport means combinations are maintained in the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0144m000#fmfmd044.ncmb" role="manual">Number of Combinations</GUIRef> field of the <GUIRef href="/baanerp/fm/fmd/fmfmd0144m000" role="session">Transport Means Combinations by Carrier/LSP (fmfmd0144m000)</GUIRef> session.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>A carrier has the following fleet:</Paragraph>
            <List>
               <ListItem>Eight trucks, each with a capacity of 10 tons. These trucks
				are defined as TMG1.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Five large trailers, each with a capacity of 20 tons. These
				trailers are defined as TMG2.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Four smaller trailers, each with a capacity of 15 tons.
				These trailers are defined as TMG3.</ListItem>
            </List>
            <List>
               <ListIntro>You can attach a large trailer or a small trailer to a
				truck. The carrier has modeled this as follows:</ListIntro>
               <ListItem>Transport means combination TMC1 includes five combinations
				consisting of one truck and one large trailer.</ListItem>
               <ListItem>Transport means combination TMC2 includes four combinations
				consisting of one truck and one small trailer.</ListItem>
            </List>
            <Paragraph>In this situation, you cannot plan, for example, five TMC1
			 and four TMC2 simultaneously, because the carrier has only eight trucks (as
			 defined in TMG1). Thus in the load building process both the number of TMGs and
			 the number of TMCs is taken into account if this check box is selected.</Paragraph>
            <Paragraph>If this check box is cleared, transport means group or
			 transport means combination capacity is not taken into account in load
			 building. If your organization does not have a fleet of its own, the option to
			 include transport means group capacity is, generally speaking, of minor
			 importance.</Paragraph>
