Transportation Unit Resource
An instance of a particular transportation unit like a container that you can use to map the capacity and availability that you want to use for transportation.
You can choose up to eight dimensions and units of measurement to describe the capacity. Note that the mass and volume are predefined by default. Planning can only take the transportation unit resource capacity into account if these correspond to the dimensions and units of measurement that you have defined in a freight unit building rule.
Note
You cannot define the available capacity for this resource type according to time. However, you can define a time-dependent availability using shift sequences. For more information about defining shift sequences, see Specification of Definitions and Creating Definitions.
In the planning profile, you can specify whether the system can consider a manual overload of the resource capacity.
Equipment Group and Equipment Type
The equipment and equipment group types specify attributes such as the physical properties of a certain kind of transportation unit resource. When you have created a transportation unit resource type you can:
Use the type as a template to create transportation unit resources, copying the attributes of the type to a new resource
Request a special type of transportation unit resource in a forwarding order or in a booking order

Structure
You can define, among others, the following parameters for transportation unit resource resources:
Capacity (see Definition of Capacity)
Availability (see Definition of Availability)
Minimum number of seals
You can specify the minimum number of seals of the transportation unit resource. You can use this information for the definition of incompatibilities.
