# Setting up Transport and Deliveries

To use Transport and Deliveries, provide some basic settings.

## Steps - Transport and Deliveries - Basic settings

1. Choose the ![Lightbulb that opens the Tell Me feature](https://cdn.document360.io/da662430-6a41-47b1-8c7e-7e4ac37a9756/Images/Documentation/search_small(3).png) icon (Alt+Q), enter **Transport & Deliveries**, and click the relevant link.
2. Provide values for the following fields:

**General tab**:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Default Package Type | Specify the default container or package type. When adding a new container, the default type is filled automatically. |
| Use Container Status Loaded | When selected, a transport order or delivery trip can only be posted when all containers have the status **Loaded**. |
| Container Inventory Check | When selected, the inventory of the selected container is checked. A warning appears when inventory goes negative. Options: **Blank**: no warning. **Warning**: the user gets a warning that no inventory is available; accepting the message releases the transport order or delivery trip. **Error**: an error appears and the activity stops. |
| Container Location | Select the warehouse location where containers are stored. Usually a basic location without Anywhere Mobility Solutions warehouse settings. |
| Load Length Factor | Used to calculate the load length for a container: usually the average width of a truck. |

**Numbering tab**:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Inbound Transport Order Nos | Specify the number series for inbound transport orders. |
| Outbound Transport Order Nos | Specify the number series for outbound transport orders. |
| Inbound Posted Transport Order Nos | Specify the number series for inbound posted transport orders. |
| Outbound Posted Transport Order Nos | Specify the number series for outbound posted transport orders. |
| Delivery Trip Nos | Specify a number series for delivery trips. |
| Container ID Nos | Specify the number series for container IDs. Using IDs ensures each package is uniquely identified. This feature is useful for RFID as well. |

## Set up per location

After setting up Transport and Deliveries, provide specific settings per location:

| Field | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Transport Order Type | Mandatory. Specify the direction of the order: **Inbound** or **Outbound**. |
| Location Code | Mandatory. Specify the location for the inbound or outbound transport order. |
| Description | Enter a generic description to use as default in all transport orders for the specified location and type. Use this text as standard text on freight bills. |
| Cost Warning | Checks if cost lines exist when a transport order is released. Options: **Blank**: no warning. **Warning**: the user gets a warning that no cost lines exist; accepting the message releases the transport order or delivery trip without cost lines. **Error**: an error appears and the activity stops. The error only appears when no cost lines are found. |
| Warehousing must be completed | When set, warehouse and inventory activities must be completed before the transport order for this location is released: inventory pick posted, warehouse pick registered, project planning line posted. |
| Link Container | When selected, a transport order is automatically created or updated when the container is closed. |
