In the Transport Order settings, you will be able to configure and specify how your TO will look and behave.

Because you have different divisions to separate your data, you might also want to do this for your TO's. This is why you can divide your TO data per:

  • Division

  • Carrier

  • Service Level

  • Origin Region

  • Origin Location

  • Organization

  • Company Code

  • Origin Country

It could be interesting to make different TO settings for each carrier for example or make one per organization/location/country.

The ideal setup will depend on what you want to accomplish.

What we do here, is to make a template for all different scenarios.

We do this, so we only need to set it up once and not every time we make a TO.

Transport Order Calculations.

We've put tooltips on almost every section. When you hover over it, you will see a small explanation of what every single option does.

If there is no tooltip, it is explained below:

  • Cost Approval Limit Cost:

Here you can select which extra charges will need approval above a certain value.

You can set this limit per user in the Control Tower Roles: Admin -> Right Management -> Control Tower Roles.

Go to Features -> general:

Here you can enter the value and the currency that limit the approval rights for users that have this user role.

  • Carrier allocation logic:

Each of these options has its own articles:

  • Rate calculation:

This will determine how many billing legs will be applied to the Transport Order.
