Transport editor

Transports in shippingNET are specific tours that start from a starting point and start at several stops and end at a end point. Transportation defines:

depending on the mode of transport, the means of transport (truck, ship, plane) and the times.
Depending on the disposition type: incoming or outgoing groupage traffic, trolley transport, main run, full load or outsourcing.

Note

Each shipment has a disposition type.

The following disposition types are distinguished:

Inbound groupage: Shipments received at your depot. Your depot will take care of the forwarding or delivery of the consignments.
Outbound groupage: On these transports, all outgoing shipments are scheduled for each shipping partner. If you work in a network, outbound transports within this network are also handled with this MRP type. The shipments are delivered by the respective shipping partner/network partner.
Rollfuhr: Transports that carry out the distribution of shipments in your delivery and pick-up area based on your route planning.
Main run: Scheduled services between the depots of your network.
Full load: Transports with partial routes are particularly relevant in the partial and full load industry, as the shipments are handled several times and no main runs are necessary, but separately agreed transports. To support this optimally, any number of intermediate stops are inserted with this type.
Outsourcing: All transports that are picked up and delivered by the same shipping partner, the so-called three-point traffic.

The goods carried and the stops to be called at are determined by the colli and delivery addresses of the shipments that have been scheduled on the transport.

Create transport

You create shipments in the Transport MRP. The transport editor is used exclusively for displaying and editing existing shipments.

Edit transport

The transport editor, like each editor, is divided into several index cards and sections in order to form thematic focal points. In addition to the entry of the general basic information that can be found on the General Map, additional information and billing data can be recorded. The Shipments, Colli, Activities and Status maps are used for the traceability of processes (or provide an additional overview of the current status of the transport).

General

On this map you can see the most important information at a glance.

In the Transport Number field, you will see the unique number of the transport. It is automatically assigned by the system.
Enter start and end point, as well as their contact persons and telephone numbers and define the essential dates such as the planned start and end date in addition to processing type, cost center and references.
In the Carrier Information section, specify the carrier, carrier and driver.
In the Vehicle Information section, enter the vehicle type, license plate, WAB number, etc.
