Hi,

Shiping type - you define the shipping types in combination with the mode of transport. The shipping types can include the following:

Truck

Truck with trailer

Plane

Ship

Leg indicator for shipment stage

Specifies what kind of shipment leg you are dealing with.

Use

You can use this characteristic to classify the shipment leg for analysis purposes.

The leg indicator is determined internally for legs which are created by automatic leg determination.

Examples

The following leg indicators are can be assigned to shipment legs:

Preliminary leg:

A subsequent main leg shipment exists or is required for this shipment.

Subsequent leg:

A preceding main leg shipment exists or is required for this shipment.

Main leg:

One or more preliminary and subsequent shipment legs are required for this shipment.

Direct leg:

No other shipments are linked to this shipment.

Return leg:

Hi Amol,

Shipping type is when you define transportation in your system like your goods sent to the customer by truck or train or plain.

As per my understanding

If you sending your goods to China and the path is

Your company is in chennai, your goods are going as follows

Chennai --> to shipping dockyard --> then they upload in a ship --> then ship travel and after one month it reaches to Shangai dockyard --> from there goods are loaded in the train --> fianlly reach the customer site

So there are three legs

Chennai --> dockyard

Dockyard --> shanghai dockyard

Shanghai dockyard --> customer sites

Hi Amol,

1) Chennai to dockyard will be your preliminary leg.

2) Chennai dockyard to shanghai dockyard will be your main leg.

3) Shanghai dockyard to customer site will be your subsequent leg.

Each of the points

Shipping pint of your mill, chennai dockyard, shanghai dockyard, customer site will be considered as transportation connection points.

Combination of each departure and destimation point will be your stage. Each stage is also known as leg.

For e.g. your mill to chennai dockyard is one stage and is preliminary leg.

These stages can also be assigned to a route. When the route is determined, stage will be automatically determined.

I hope this clarifies.

Regards

Karan

Hi Amol,

As per the given example

Chennai --> dockyard -

---

> Preliminary Leg

Dockyard --> shanghai dockyard -

---

> Main Leg

If you want to add Subsequent Leg in that case then we have to modify the scenerio

our scenerio was

Chennai --> dockyard --> Dockyard --> shanghai dockyard

Now we will add Beijing in this route

So your goods are going as follows

Chennai --> dockyard --> Dockyard --> shanghai dockyard --> Beijing

Now from shanghai --> Beijing is your Subsequent Leg

Hope this helps,

Regards,
