Transportation Lane --> A link between Location A to Location B to transport a material X

Transportation Mode --> Type of transportation in that link, say a truck, air or ocean

It is important to define both these to create appropriate stock transport requisitions. A T Lane is incomplete without a mode.

Thank you Srinivas, one more question, where is the duration defined, in the lane or the mode?

Duration is defined in hours in Transportation Mode.

Hi David,

The Transportation Duration is defined in Transportation Lane. If you are using Geocoding program, then the system can determine the distance & duration automatically from the latitude & longitude of the locations.

Thanks & Regards
