| # Stops (fmlbd1500m000) Use this session to view the stops created for a load plan. Related topics The load building process Examples of the execution of the load building process Plan The load plan for which the stops are created. Stop The identification number of the stop. Stop Type The type of stop. A stop is either a load stop or an unload stop. Stop Position The position number of the stop. Stop Sequence The sequence number of the stop. If the stop is included in a route plan, this field shows the order in which the stop is visited. For example, one is the first stop visited in the route plan, two the second, and so on. Trip If the stop address is included in a route plan, this field shows the sequence number of the route plan leg of the stop. Address The address of the stop. It depends on the stop type, whether this is a loading or an unloading address. Minimum Load/Unload Date The minimum load date of a stop of the load type or the minimum unload date of a stop of the unload type. Related topics Examples of the execution of the load building process Maximum Load/Unload Date The maximum load date of a stop of the load type or the maximum unload date of a stop of the unload type. Related topics Examples of the execution of the load building process Optimal Date It depends on the stop type whether this is an optimal load date or an optimal unload date. The optimal date calculation is controlled by the setting of the planned date determiner. Related topics To use the planned date determiner options Examples of the execution of the load building process Single Shipment If this check box is selected, the stop must be planned as a single shipment using the Direct Shipping algorithm. 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. Carrier Binding If this check box is selected, the carrier selected in this field cannot be overruled by the load building engine of Freight. 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 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 belongs to a transport means group. For example, transport means group: Vans, means of transport: van with licence number XX333444 . 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 checks the availability of individual means of transport, if specified for a load or a freight order line. Related topics Means of transport selection Combination Code The combination code of the stop. 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 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. Related topics The use of route plans 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. Related topics The use of route plans Route Plan Leg If the stop address is included in a route plan, this field shows the type of route plan leg of the stop address. Route Plan Line If the stop address is included in a route plan, this field shows the line number of the route plan leg of the stop. Route Plan Sequence If the stop address is included in a route plan, this field shows the sequence number of the route plan leg of the stop. 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.
