How to plan hazmat on specific transportation mode

[otmrookie]

Hi all,

We have a requirement that all hazmat items are to be shipped via ground. I see that OTM is able to store hazmat item information, but we're receiving our orders & item details from another ERP system where the item hazmat flag will be passed to OTM. I just want to see if there's anyone who might have done something similar and if so what info/data is required for the planning engine to build ground shipments. Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated.

Cheers,

Hi,

Did you try the following?

1. Create a new transport mode.
2. When you define your service provider, select this new transport mode.
3. In your itinerary parameters, select the same transport mode under "hazardous transport mode".
4. When you define your hazardous material/item also, select the same transport mode.
5. Set your planning parameter "Run hazmat qalification process" to true.

This will ensure that whenever you ship this hazardous cargo, the same tranport mode will be used.

Cheers,
Rajiv

The Hazardous Item Manager allows you to specify a transport mode. See online help for details
