Updating delivery data

To avoid changing delivery data without notice by the transport information system the delivery data is only updated when the transport has the status completed .

Updating fields that are calculated in thestandardanalysis

Some fields of the information structure are not updated. These fields are necessary to make the key figures available at the analysis point in time. These fields are listed under Characteristics and Key Figures .

Real and virtual transport legs

A virtual transport leg was necessary for correct processing of delivery and leg data during updating. Because deliveries (hierarchy level F) is linked over (hierarchy level E) on the transport header, header related updates (updates that influence the whole transport) required a "0" that does not exist in the transport document but represents the entire transport.

The leg "0" must be included when updating deliveries for the whole transport or on a leg by leg basis. Also the leg "0" must not be counted when cumulating the leg data at the header level. Under the following conditions:

Delivery at the complete transport level:

The delivery data is now calculated for the whole transport. That is once for each transport. Example: Total weight of all deliveries in the transport.

Delivery at the leg level:

The delivery data are not calculated for the whole transport that is only for all legs but not for the virtual leg "0" (complete transport).

Example: Total weight of all deliveries on one leg.

Real transport leg:

The virtual leg "0" (complete transport) is not processed.

Example: Number of legs for each transport.
