In some cases before calculating container loading, cargo information including size, methods of placement and other requirements in different orders are almost the same except for a little bit change from certain cargoes. Therefore you can add the fixed information of these cargoes into the cargo database in LoadMaster load plan optimization software to avoid repetitive cargo information input to save time. After adding the information, you can choose to add cargoes into the software through “Import from Database” or “Import(Order Form Mode)”.
This is cargo database.
The former one can be used to add cargoes in small varieties. The latter one, import according to orders, is more convenient to add cargoes in large varieties. However, even if most cargo information in a new order is fixed, a little bit change of certain cargoes is unavoidable. Therefore if you add all cargo information through “Import(Order Form Mode)”, the software will still design the load plan according to cargo information previously added to cargo database.
Two ways to add cargo with different quantities.
So how to modify the information of these certain cargoes without modifying the database?
Under the guidance of LoadMaster load plan optimization software, this is quite simple and easy!
You can continue to choose “Import(Order Form Mode)” to add cargo information of new orders. Then open the interface of Cargo, modify the changed information of certain cargoes. For example, as is shown in the following picture, only Cargo E’s information has changed in this order. You can solely modify Cargo E’ information in the Cargo interface. In this way, database won’t be changed but only the cargo information that has changed in new orders can be modified in the Cargo interface.
This is where to modify cargo information.
