Comparing Order Versus Shipment Commitment Lane Object Types

This is an example to understand the difference between a Commitment Lane Object Type of Order versus Shipment.

An order has an origin of Chicago and a destination of Brussels.

You have Planned Allocations defined with both an Order and Shipment Commitment Lane Object Type.

There can be different types of shipments built in Oracle Transportation Management to accommodate this order based on data defined, such as itineraries, rates, etc. In this example, three different shipments could be built.

Example 1:

For this shipment, it is marked Primary:

Lane Object Type = Order

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation when the lane is Chicago > Brussels.

Lane Object Type = Shipment

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation when the lane is Chicago > Brussels.

A line with point representing Chicago on the left, and a point on the right representing Brussels. An arrow labeled "Primary" points to the line, which is labeled as "Shipment 1."

Example 2:

Shipment 2 is marked Primary:

Lane Object Type = Order

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation when the lane is Chicago > Brussels.

Lane Object Type = Shipment

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation when the lane is NYC > Antwerp.

For Shipment 3 and Shipment 4:

Lane Object Type = Order

Neither are primary shipments so neither will be accounted for in Allocations.

Lane Object Type = Shipment

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation only.

A line with point representing Chicago on the left with a segment labeled "Shipment 3" connecting to another point, "Port of New York". The segment between "Port of New York and "Port of Antwerp" is labeled as "Shipment 2." The segment between "Port of Antwerp" and "Brussels" is labeled as "Shipment 4." An arrow labeled "Primary" points to the "Shipment 2" segment.

Example 3:

Shipment 5 is marked Primary:

Lane Object Type = Order

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation when the lane is Chicago > Brussels.

Lane Object Type = Shipment

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation when the lane is Chicago > Antwerp.

For Shipment 6:

Lane Object Type = Order.

It is not a primary shipment so it will be accounted for in Allocations.

Lane Object Type = Shipment

This will count towards Capacity Commitment Allocation only.

A line with point representing Chicago on the left with a segment labeled "Shipment 5" connecting to another point, "Port of Antwerp." The segment between "Port of Antwerp" and "Brussels" is labeled as "Shipment 6." An arrow labeled "Primary" points to the "Shipment 5" segment.
