Transport Order Types
General
Organizing transportation via road, sea, or air requires different information. Additionally, using containers necessitates specifying container details such as type, identifier, and seal number. Transport Order Types adjust the Transport Order page layout according to the kind of transport you want to organize. This provides a flexible page presentation that only displays the relevant information. For example:
- Air Transport Order Type: Focuses on Airline, Flight Information, first Pickup and final Delivery Addresses, Loading and Unloading Airports.
- Sea Transport Order Type: Focuses on Sea Carrier, Voyage information, Vessel name, first Pickup and final Delivery Addresses, Loading and Unloading Ports.
- Road Transport Order Type: Focuses on haulier’s name, Vehicle Type, Pickup and Delivery Addresses.
