Introduction

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