Transport Organisation
The basic documents in the logistics information system are the position folder and the groupage. The position folder connects all the documents of an individual logistics service; the groupage on the other hand connects all the consolidated shipments in a particular transport or logistics service.
Main features:
-
custom entry
-
numbering
-
integration with other software modules, so that the data contained in one module can be easily transferred and used in other modules
-
integrated code lists
-
automatic updating of all code lists
Position Folder is a document describing a logistics service for a particular company: company name, description of goods, contract number, date, value in currency, consignor... The key information is the position number. Whenever we need all of the above mentioned information related to a company (e.g. in an invoice), we just refer to the position number containing all of the necessary data, which we do not have to re-enter again. In this way, the documents are interconnected through a position number - just as in practice: all documents relating to a position are inserted in a common "position folder".
The Groupage module is used to manage consolidated shipments.
