| # Possible values Average of Planned Unload Dates The calculation of the planned dates of the shipment is based on the average date of the planned unload dates of the original orders. All order lines are equally taken into account at all stops to determine the average date. As a result, some of the shipments are delivered somewhat later than the planned unload dates of the originating orders. Earliest of Possible Dates The planned dates of the shipment are equal to the earliest possible loading and unloading dates defined in the stop. Use this option if you want the shipment to be delivered or received as soon as possible. Minimum of Planned Unload Dates The calculation of the planned dates of the shipment is based on the earliest planned unload dates of the original orders. Load dates are calculated by subtracting the traveling times from the unload dates. If you use this option, all shipments are delivered or received before the planned unload date of the originating orders. If, however, large load date tolerances are used, the shipments are possibly not delivered or received as early as the earliest possible date. Latest of Possible Dates The planned dates of the shipment are equal to the latest possible loading and unloading dates defined in the stop. Use this option if you want to postpone delivery or receipt of the shipment as long as possible, for example to enable the transport capacity to be used for rush orders. Not Applicable If you use this option, no time window control is applied. Calculation of planned loading and unloading dates of shipments is based on the time windows set in the freight orders. |
