Setting Up Vehicle Types

Access the Vehicle Type Revisions form.

Vehicle Type

Specify the type of vehicle that you use to transport items. The vehicle type identifies the mode of transport and assignments to dispatch groups.

Weight UoM

Specify the unit of measure that indicates the weight of an individual item. Typical weight units of measure are:

GM: Gram

KG: Kilogram

CW: Hundredweight

TN: Ton

OZ: Ounce

LB: Pound

Empty Weight

Enter the certified weight of this vehicle, including fuel but excluding cargo.

Volume UoM

Enter the user-defined code (00/UM) that identifies the unit of measure that the system uses to indicate volume for this item. You can specify cubes, liters, gallons, and so on as volume standards. The system uses this unit of measure for the item or overrides it for an individual item or container.

Carries Product

Select to indicate whether the vehicle carries products. When this option is selected, this vehicle carries products.

Dispatch Group

Enter the user-defined code that identifies the dispatch group. A dispatch group is a grouping that you make for products according to the physical characteristics that are important when storing and transporting those products. During the load building process, the system checks whether the dispatch group for the item and the vehicle are compatible. The system only allows products belonging to the allowed dispatch groups to be assigned to the vehicle.

Secondary Dispatch Group

Enter the code that the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system uses to group products for dispatch.

Number of Compartments

Enter the number of compartments in a vehicle.

Load Line Count

Enter the number of load lines in a vehicle compartment.

Cubic UoM

Specify the unit of measure for the cubic space that is occupied by an inventory item. Typical volume units of measure are:

ML: Milliliter

CF: Cubic foot

CY: Cubic yard

CM: Cubic meter

PT: Pint

LT: Liter

Mode of Trn

Enter the user-defined code (00, TM) that describes the nature of the carrier being used to transport goods to the customer, such as by rail, by road, and so on.

Bulk/Packed Flag

Indicate whether the vehicle can transport bulk liquid product or packaged products. If it is a bulk vehicle, temperature and density/gravity conversions must be performed. Therefore, product movements must be recorded using screens that are designed specifically for bulk products. Edits are performed by transportation screens to ensure that the appropriate products are being processed. Values are:

P: Packaged item (product)

B: Bulk liquid item (product)

Number of Axles

Enter the number of axles on this vehicle. This information is applicable only to road trucks. It is vital in those situations in which governmental authorities either restrict the operation of large (high axle count) vehicles or control the maximum weight that is allowed per vehicle axle.

Weight Capacity per Axle

Enter the weight capacity per axle for this vehicle.

Number of Seals Required

Enter the number of seals that a vehicle requires.

Multiple Lines

Select to indicate whether multiple lines are allowed per compartment. When this option is selected, multiple lines are allowed.
