Hi Ianlo,

We use OTM for planning domestic ground shipments but we also receive SAWs for Ocean movements.

For our domestic ground shipments, we are taking the approach of single equipment per shipment. The primary reasons for choosing this approach were;
- The multiple equipments (trucks) may not be departing or arriving at the same time
- Therefore, the status updates are easier to manage when you have single equipment per shipment
- The Invoice Settling process was simplified too by providing our carriers a simple rule "one invoice per shipment / equipment"
- Visibility; it was also more visual for our end-users to have one equipment per shipment

For ocean moves, we opted to take the multiple equipments (containers) per shipment approach; the containers are shipped together from the origin port to the destination port and some of the costs are calculated at the shipment level.

Hope this helps,

Alejandro B.
