Open-deck results are planning aids. Verify the actual vehicle, route, legal limits and cargo securement.

Planning mode Standard plan Plan the quantities entered on each cargo row. Equal Quantity FCL Find the largest equal quantity of every active SKU that fits one load space.

Uses each row quantity as its available ceiling. Equal Quantity FCL currently validates loose cargo only.

Global loading rules

Apply plan-wide constraints before row-level preferences.

Keep groups separateDo not mix cargo from different input rows in the same planning group. Strict stop orderPlace later delivery stops deeper so the next stop remains accessible. Allow partial supportPermit supported stacking down to the controlled minimum threshold. Prefer easy unloadingFavor floor-first, door-accessible placements over the tightest packing.

No global rules active Hard safety checks always override global and row-level preferences.

Workflow accelerator

Industry loading presets

Apply proven starting rules, then adjust any row or plan rule to match the shipment.

Quick-start preset

Applies only the selected starting defaults. You can edit any value afterwards.

Equipment restrictions

Model a real load space with an optional door opening, wheel arches and fixed internal obstacles. Empty fields preserve current planning behaviour.

Wheel-arch restrictions do not apply to air cargo ULD profiles.

Fixed internal obstacles

Reserve non-loadable space for pillars, machinery or other fixed equipment.

No equipment restrictions are active.

Palletize my cargo

My cargo dimensions do not include pallets

This ULD is already a container or aircraft pallet; nested palletization is disabled.

📦 Pallet Configuration Shared shipment settings appear when a row uses pallets.

Row controls choose how each product uses pallets. These shared settings define the Auto Compare pool, shipment default height, groups and advanced stacking.

Pallets Auto Compare may use

Check only profiles that Auto Compare may consider. A fixed row selection does not need a checkbox here.
