Re: OTM 5.5 CU3: Equipment Reference Units?

Hi Ian,

We are succesfully using mixed ERU's for your scenario nr 2), but I would say that 1) should work as well.

A few things to consider:
- Planning Parameter CHECK EQUIPMENT CAPACITY IN REFERENCE UNITS should be set to true
- The combined volume of your ship units should not be more than eqmt capacity. Same for combined weight. ERU's are only meant to restrict within the limits of eqmt capacity.

Our set-up is as follows. ERU ABC has X number of ref units against a 40 High Cube container. ERU DEF has Y number of ref units against a 40 HC. ERU ABC has a count of 1 against Ship Unit Spec abc. ERU DEF has a count of 1 against Ship Unit Spec def. During planning the following calculation is performed.
(((Ship Unit Count for SU Spec abc * 1) / X) + (Ship Unit Count for SU Spec def * 1) / Y))) <= 1
If indeed <=1 it will build into single shipment.

Hope this explains.
