Restrictions
By setting up and defining restrictions on an address, it can be defined whether specific conditions apply to an address. For example, a tail lift that is required or a type of vehicle that is forbidden. When restrictions are set on an address, it is necessary for the same restriction to be set on a resource. For example, that a trailer has a tail lift. In the current version of TMS there are no checks on address and resource restrictions when a trip is created.
