Movement Types
When you define a contract section you can select thefollowing movement types:
- Outbound
You are shipping loads to a customer.
- Inbound
A supplier is delivering loads to your organization.
- Interplant
Loads are being transferred between two facilities that areowned by your organization.
- Inbound Outbound Interplant
A load can be inbound outbound or an interplant transfer.
- Continuous Move
The load is eligible for a continuous move discount.
- Round Trip
The load is eligible for a round trip discount.
The Movement Type field givesyou flexibility over how you define your contracts with your carriers.For example you could define different contract sections for outboundand interplant shipments. You could then apply different rates toeach section.
When you create a shipment you specify the movementtype as Inbound Outboundor Interplant. You do not set the movementtype to Continuous Move or RoundTrip.
