A Load Data Capture (LDC) object is a data record containing an independent set of quality information characteristics and behavior (for example, weight and analysis details) that is referenced by the system during event processing. One LDC object belongs to one delivery line item that follows the object through the life cycle of a load.

You create an LDC object to capture data for an event (that is, a load or unload event) in the Load Data Capture Workcenter. Once you have successfully created an LDC object, you can go on to perform further maintenance tasks in the workcenter, for example, changing or editing the LDC object, displaying it, or setting it to Obsolete.

When creating a new LDC object or editing an existing LDC object, you can choose from the following ways in which to enter data into the LDC screen:

You use this method when entering only one weight and analysis for one LDC event.

You use this method when entering weight/analysis vertically for one LDC event.

You use this method when entering analysis data vertically for more than one LDC event.

You use this method when entering weight/analysis/event details for more than one LDC event, when the event data is the same across all events
