Transporteinträge

Transporteinträge are entries within a transport management context that document individual movements of goods from origin to destination. In logistics software, a Transporteintrag represents a discrete transport event or shipment and serves as the core unit for tracking, planning, billing, and compliance. The term is used in German-language systems and documentation to distinguish transport-related records from other logistics data.

Typical content of a Transporteintrag includes a unique identifier, dates (planned and actual), origin and destination locations, transport mode (road, rail, sea, air), carrier, vehicle or container details, and a shipment reference. It also records the items involved (description, quantity, weight, volume, packaging), any hazardous materials indicators, route information, and estimated or actual times for milestones such as pickup, departure, transit, and delivery. Documentary references like bills of lading, CMR notes, or air waybills, alongside cost and invoicing data, may be attached. Status fields (planned, in transit, delivered, exception) enable实时 monitoring and alerting.

Creation and lifecycle typically involve shippers, freight forwarders, or carriers, often triggered by purchase or sales orders and integrated with systems such as transport management systems (TMS), enterprise resource planning (ERP), and warehouse management systems (WMS). Transporteinträge are exchanged via EDI, API, or other data interfaces to coordinate operations, track performance, and support compliance and audit trails.

In practice, Transporteinträge underpin shipment visibility, exception management, cost allocation, and KPI reporting. They are essential for cross-border trade, customs processes, and maintaining accurate records of transport activities within modern supply chains.
