Transport Mode

Transport Mode is a master that defines how goods move (for example Air, Sea, Road, Rail). It is used on Sales Quotes, bookings, shipments, routing legs, customs declarations, and other logistics documents.

Each transport mode record indicates which services it applies to (Air, Sea, Transport, Customs, Warehousing) and can supply a default transport document type for customs.

To access Transport Mode, go to:

Home > Logistics > Transport Mode
