A delivery schedule consists of a set of pickup dates and times with corresponding delivery dates and times. Transportation Manager allows you to work with a variety of schedules found in the shipping industry, including parcel, LTL, rail, and ocean services, to map shipment requirements against the hours of operation for various shipping locations. The system determines whether a Tariff/Service is capable of moving between two locations in the time constraints defined for that tariff/service, based on a particular delivery schedule.
Delivery schedules can be shared by multiple Tariff/Service combinations or by multiple services offered within the same Tariff. At any given moment, none, one or multiple tariff/service combinations can refer to a single delivery schedule.
Six tables in Transportation Manager are used specifically to define a delivery schedule:
List
By default, the List of Delivery Schedules is sorted in ascending order by Delivery Schedule ID.
For information on icons and functionalities available on the list pages, see Web Interface lists.

The properties for Delivery Schedule header/control are presented on a single page.
