Master Data

 Transportation Zone*

– Used with the Transport Load Builder to consolidate transportation

capabilities (for example, utilize one truck to make order deliveries to several
locations)
– Combine several locations into a group (thereby creating a zone).
– TLB orders for various locations are considered as one order for one big
location, although, in reality, there are individual purchase orders for separate
locations.

TLB - Interactive Planning

 Deployment run results in recommended transport orders

 Transport Load Builder then enables you to manipulate the recommended
transport orders within the time period you specify to build a feasible,
consolidated transport load
 Interactive planning desktop displays the relevant values such as cumulative
volume, cumulative weight, and capacity consumed so that you can
determine when a load is complete
 TLB enables you to build transport loads for one resource on one
transportation lane
