Market Place

The 3PL Market Place provides configuration packages for Forwarding. Start with the shared FMS configuration, then add the packages for the transport modes used by your company. These items provide setup for existing FMS functionality; they are not separate operational documents.

FMS Basic Setup

FMS Basic Setup provides the common configuration used across forwarding processes. Use it as the foundation for a new forwarding company before adding transport-specific packages.

The setup includes forwarding settings, status configuration, standard units, package and container types, ports and Incoterms. It also initializes shared document configuration, including event/milestone templates, section templates, order types, parties and references.

For the installation sequence, see New Forwarding Company.

FMS Oceanfreight

FMS Oceanfreight adds configuration for ocean shipments, including full-container and less-than-container movements.

The package initializes ocean transport settings, order types and related templates. It includes Bill of Lading types and references for direct, master and house documents, together with ocean milestones such as departure, arrival, loading and unloading. The initialization also provides the House Bill of Lading editor configuration.

Use this item when the company handles ocean forwarding. See Oceanfreight, Voyages and Schedules and Equipment Details for the operational processes.

FMS Airfreight

FMS Airfreight adds configuration for air shipments.

The package initializes the air mode of transport, its volumetric calculation factor, airfreight order type and event/milestone template. It also provides Air Waybill types and reference templates, including master and house air waybills, and milestones for departure, arrival, loading and unloading.

Use this item when the company handles air forwarding. See Airfreight and Airwaybill Editor.

The items shown depend on the available catalog and installed version. The live item's description is the reference for its current contents and requirements. Demonstration data, where offered, is intended for evaluation or training rather than production configuration.

Important

Review activation with your implementation consultant in an existing company. Setup packages can add or change configuration; do not activate them merely to explore their contents in a live company.
