Capacity

Location Capacity:

• Location capacity allows you to define different types of constraints for a particular location.
• When the Check Location Capacity parameter is set to TRUE, location capacity constraints are honored.
• A location is assumed to have unlimited capacity unless it is imposed by capacity constraints.
• While a capacity calendar is closely related to the business calendar, they should not be combined. When creating a capacity calendar, keep in mind the business calendar of the location.
• The relationship between the capacity calendar and a location is established in the location manager roles tab by attaching a location capacity group to the location.

Capacity Limits:

Operational Planning > Capacity Management > Capacity Limits

Capacity Limits can be used to manage service provider inventory of equipment by date range and determine a service provider's available capacity for accepting a shipment for transport.

Capacity Group ID: Capacity Groups allow you to identify and define groups of rate offerings from the same service provider.

Equipment Type ID: OTM measures capacity limits against equipment types for service providers that have available capacity.

To use capacity functionality, you must create an equipment group in shipments with only one equipment type in that group designated for capacity, and then select the same equipment type when you create a capacity limit
