Business Context and Use

Transportation lanes are relationships between two locations, two transportation zones, or a combination of locations and transportation zones that express the direct reachability of the locations, or of all locations within the zones for a specific means of transport. Transportation lanes are used during the planning of distribution and procurement between different locations. Products can only be procured if a valid transportation lane between the locations exists.
Means of transport are classes of vehicle resources, for example, a container ship or cargo ship. You assign a means of transport to each vehicle resource.
You can use the Change Lane Valid Transport Means  inbound operation to change the means of transport of a transportation lane. You can also add a means of transport, delete a means of transport, or replace all existing means of transport assignments with new ones.
