Transport scheduling facility
The transport scheduling is the tool for planning and scheduling your shipments and transports. Select the appropriate view to distinguish between the typical MRP types.
Note
MRP views:
Inbound groupage: List of all shipping partners and optionally their tours configured in the system and the associated inbound shipments. Your depot will take care of the forwarding or delivery of the consignments. These are those consignments whose pick-up agent not corresponds to the own fleet. The date assignment is based on the ship date of the shipment.
Outbound groupage: List of all shipping partners and optionally their tours configured in the system and the associated outbound shipments. The shipments are delivered by the respective shipping partner/network partner. These are those consignments whose delivery carrier not corresponds to the own fleet. The date assignment is based on the ship date of the shipment.
Subcontracting: In subcontracting, you will find shipments that are handled entirely by a single third party. This means that both pick-up and delivery are carried out by this partner, the shipments do not come to your depot.
Full Load: Shipments with routing type Shipment with partial route and relations of the company's own fleet or current department. The date assignment is based on the loading date of the individual sections. A shipment can be displayed several times in this view if it is scheduled on several sections.
Scheduled services: Main runs between different depots in your own network. These are the distances between two custody accounts of your own client. The shipments are displayed on the basis of the main runs previously stored with your project manager.
My Trolley Load: Shipments and tours of the own fleet. Your depot will take care of the collection or delivery of the consignments. These are those consignments whose pick-up or delivery carrier corresponds to the own fleet. Date mapping is based on the shipment's shipping date for pickup shipments and the shipment's delivery date for delivery shipments.
My Trolley - Pickup: This is the same view as My Trolley Load, but limited to Pickups.
My Trolley - Delivery: This is the same view as My Trolley Delivery, but limited to Deliveries.
