Logistics Order Lines

Logistics order lines detail the specific segments of a trip. A line may have one destination address or an origin and a destination address.

  • A logistics line with a single (destination) address is considered a single stop line when paired with an activity. This configuration is commonly used for dedicated operations.
  • A logistics line with an origin and a destination address represents a pickup and a drop-off, more commonly used for LTL.

Handling Units Line Details

Logistics order lines may also contain handling units, which represent the materials being shipped during the particular logistics line of the order.

Each logistics order line may have an unlimited amount of handling units.

A handling unit contains information about the item contained within it: configuration, size, color, style, etc.

Handling Unit Assignment

Assigning a handling unit to a logistics order is a two-step process.

  1. Create the handling unit while on the header level of a logistics order. Handling units may have more than one unit per line.
