Understanding Carrier Master Information Setup
When you set up carrier master information using the Carrier Master program (P4906), you define specific information about the carriers that provide transportation services, such as performance rating and tracking information.
You can track shipment or load information for each delivery. You set up the default tracking in Transportation Management for carriers that track shipments using the internet. To set up automatic tracking functions, you must create a business function for each type of tracking system that you intend to use. After you set up tracking information, you can access it from the carrier using the telephone, the internet, or any other method that the carrier provides for tracking.
