How does demand become plannable freight?

Basic TM represents transportation-relevant demand and applies freight-unit-building rules to create planning units. FUBR stays here as the rule that turns demand into Freight Units.

READ FROM RESULT BACK TO RULE

Control what may travel together

Basic TM combines transportation demand, master data, planning decisions, operating proof, and commercial settlement. A visible document status alone rarely explains whether the flow is feasible or recoverable.

ONE BASIC TM STORY

Follow the decision through its evidence

Each hand-off has a different owner and a different proof. Preserve the hand-off rather than repairing a later status in isolation.

  1. 01
    SOURCEDelivery / transportation demand

    Requested quantities, dates, locations, and handling attributes create transport demand.

  2. 02
    BUILDFreight Unit Building Rule

    FUBR conditions decide whether demand stays together or splits.

  3. 03
    PLANFreight Unit

    Compatible transportation demand becomes independently plannable.

SPLIT AND GROUPING

One business promise can become several transport decisions

Split only where a handling, date, route, equipment, or compatibility rule makes it necessary. Group Freight Units only where the resulting plan remains feasible.

DIAGNOSTIC EVIDENCE

Ask the question at the correct layer

Transport problems become recoverable when the team checks the decision, source data, document, and event evidence in that order.

NOT CREATED

Check transportation relevance, source trigger, locations, quantities, dates, and application messages.

WRONG SPLIT

Trace FUBR, condition result, handling attributes, dimensions, and compatibility.

STALE AFTER CHANGE

Compare source, demand, Freight Unit, assigned Freight Order, and processing log.

PROJECT MOMENT

One delivery becomes two Freight Units

Temperature-controlled pallets need different equipment from ambient pallets. The source delivery stays intact while TM creates two planning units with their own compatible capacity decisions.

  • Source demand remains one delivery
  • FUBR drives the split
  • Each unit is independently plannable
  • Later changes update the correct unit
