Definition of Means-of-Transport Combinations

You use a means-of-transport combination (MTr combination) to model vehicle combinations. An MTr combination consists of one means of transport that can move independently and can move at least one passive means of transport (passive MTr).

Prerequisites

You have selected the Passive checkbox for the corresponding means of transport for each passive MTr. For more information, see Customizing for SAP Transportation Management (SAP TM) under Start of the navigation path Transportation Management Next navigation step Master Data Resources Define Means of Transport End of the navigation path .

Features

You can define a total capacity for MTr combinations. The total capacity is the maximum loading capacity without the tare weight of the vehicle and passive MTr.

You can define incompatibilities for MTr combinations by using attributes (see Incompatibilities).

Activities

You create MTr combinations in Customizing for SAP TM under Start of the navigation path Transportation Management Next navigation step Master Data Resources Define Means-of-Transport Combination End of the navigation path .

You define attributes for MTr combinations in Customizing for SAP TM under Start of the navigation path Transportation Management Next navigation step Master Data Resources Define Attributes of MTr Combination/Compartment End of the navigation path .

Example

The following table shows the vehicle resources and means of transport you have defined, and the assignments you have made:

Vehicle Resources	Means of Transport
TRUCK1	MTRTRUCK1
TRUCK2	MTRTRUCK2
PASSIVEVEH1	MTRPASSIVE1
PASSIVEVEH2	MTRPASSIVE2

According to your business needs, you model the following MTr combinations:

MTRTRUCK1 + MTRPASSIVE1
MTRTRUCK1 + MTRPASSIVE2
MTRTRUCK2 + MTRPASSIVE1
