Logistics types are used to define all resources necessary for the operation. 

Similar to attributes, logistics types are fully customizable within the framework of the predefined logistics types categories, which come standard in the program.

  • Position (e.g., location within facility)
  • Logistics Order (e.g., will call,
dropoff
  • drop-off, lumber, cabinets)
  • Logistics Line: Allows further differentiation of lines on a logistics order.

    ValueDisplays the default value of the Attribute ID field.

    Child Logistics Type

    Create a child logistics type to automatically ascribe physical dimensions, attributes, and constraints from the parent type.

    Info
    titleExample

    If an International Lonestar Sleeper Cab has a hierarchy of Asset > Tractor > Sleeper Cab > Lonestar, the Lonestar logistics type inherits the basic dimension and attributes of Asset, Tractor, and Sleeper Cab.

    Although a child type inherits the dimensions and attributes from its parent, these values can be adjusted at the most specific (lowest) level without compromising any of the associated parent types.

    This allows you to maintain default values while still offering infinite customization and granularity among objects.
