Re: OTM 5.5: Ground Transport Modelling

Hi Alejandro,

Thanks for listening! Unfortunately for us, Oracle does not recommend the Single Shipment - Multiple Equipment model for ground transport. They said that it was to be modelled as Shipment Groups.

The thing is that there is a problem when dealing with Shipment Groups and how do we group each shipment together dynamically to represent a convoy.

As it is, there are not many functionalities around the Shipment Group object - hence, in moving to the model recommended by Oracle we expect more issues with this model.

Still we will give it a try but we are not very confident that this is the correct approach.

Thanks,
Ian
