Dear All,

I have got a query regarding the selection of equipments by OTM during planning with a defined Temp_Control_Id on commodity level.

The basic configuration / Data-setup are:

vERSION 5.5 CU2

COMMODITIES:
1. GARMENT
=> WITH NO TEMP CONTROL ID
=> No Equipment Group Profile
2. FRESH FOOD
=> WITH TEMP CONTROL ID (REFREE)
=> No Equipment Group Profile

EQUIPMENT GROUP
1. 48FT_CONTAINER_DRY < WITH NO TEMP CONTROL ID >
2. 48FT_CONTAINER_REFREE < WITH TEMP CONTROL ID (REFREE)>

EQUIPMENT GROUP PROFILE
1. 48FT_EQUIPMENT (Compatible with the above mentioned Equip Group)

ITINERARIES
Leg is contrained with "Optimize Equipment" with 48FT_EQUIPMENT

Query:
I have created an OR with only one item which belongs to GARMENT Commodity. After building the shipment, I am surprised to see that OTM has picked 48FT_CONTAINER_REFREE even though I have not constrainted any Temp Control
on that commodity. Why is that not picking 48FT_CONTAINER_DRY with no temp control attached to that?

My Understanding:
IF a Temp_Control_ID is not attached to a commodity, whether OTM has got the freedom to select any of those equipments (temp controlled or non-temp controlled) which falls under the same Equip_Group_Profile as mentioned in itineraries?

Kindly help me in understanding the logic behind the selection of equipments when a Temp Controlled is not sepcified to a commodity and vice versa.

I am facing lots of similar issue in support, either ie OTM building with un-desired equipment with relation to temp control definitions.

Thanks in advance

Regards

Sanju
