Transport Order Types
General
Organizing transportation via road, sea or airway doesn’t require the same informations. Also using container would require to specify the container details (type, identifier, seal number). Transport Order Types are here to adjust Transport Order page lay-out according to the kind of transport you wan’t to organize. This would provide a flexible page presentation that just presents/requires the informations that are meaningfull for you. For example, when working with:
- Air mode based Transport Order Type, the focus will be on Airline, Flight Information, first Pickup and final Delivery Addresses, Loading and Unloading Airports.
- Sea mode based Transport Order Type, the focus will be on Sea Carrier, Voyage information, Vessel name, first Pickup and final Delivery Addresses, Loading and Unloading Ports.
- Road mode based Transport Order Type, the focus will be on haulier’s name, Vehicle Type, Pickup and Delivery Addresses.
