Introduction

The Equipment Settings functionality allows a user to define certain attributes (e.g., weight, volume, etc) for a specific type of Equipmentequipment. These attributes are then checked by the system when creating a Shipment shipment, and also when consolidating Shipments shipments on a Movementmovement.
For TL (i.e. Truck Load) types of Equipmentequipment, the user can define attributes that include "Max Weight", "Max Volume" and "Quantity". When a Movement/Shipment movement or shipment is created with this Equipmentequipment, if the Movement/Shipment's weight weight of the movement or shipment exceeds the "Max Weight" setting, an over-weight "Overweight" flag will be set and displayed on the Movement/Shipment Summary screen. When the user is on the Movement Details screen , and is using the Load Builder functionality and attempting to consolidate Shipments shipments to a Movementmovement, the system will indicate if the consolidated Shipments shipments cause the Movement movement to be over-weightoverweight, over-volume or over-quantity.
For LTL (i.e. Less Than Truck Load) and Parcel parcel types of Equipment, Shipping Unit Dimensions equipment, shipping unit dimensions can be specified on the Equipment Settings screen. When a Movement/Shipment movement or shipment is created with this Equipmentequipment, if the Movement/Shipment/Shipment Line movement, shipment, or shipment line length, width or height exceeds the Shipping Unit Dimension settings, an over"Over-dimension Dimension" flag will be set and displayed on the Movement/Shipment Summary screen.
