Transport and Deliveries

The main function of Transport and Deliveries is to package, transport, and deliver material from a project. In projects, Transport and Deliveries replaces the delivery lines and sales order-based functionality from previous IEM versions.

Transport and Deliveries build-up

Transport and Deliveries consists of three components:

  1. Containers, package delivery items from the planning line as part of the delivery shipment. Containers are also the basis for transport orders. The container detail line carries both the item information and the shipping details such as shipping address, shipping method, shipping agent, and agent service code.
  2. Transport Orders, combine containers in a transport from pickup to delivery. A transport order is created from a container, or the container is added to an existing transport order when it matches the same shipping information and still has the status Open. Transport costs can be added and posted to be retrieved and matched in purchase invoices from the shipping agent.
  3. Delivery Trips, add transport planning by combining transport orders in a delivery trip.
