| Delivery date | This indicates the delivery date of the load. More than one load can be added for the same delivery date. These loads are sequenced according to your entry at the Daily sequence field (Delivery Routes). Once defined, it cannot be changed as it forms part of the key. If you need to change the delivery date, then the load must be deleted and a new load added. A load with sales orders attached cannot be deleted or changed. |

| Used mass | This is the cumulative mass currently allocated to the load. This value is increased/decreased for each sales order line added/removed respectively. | |
| Transport | Indicate the transport type code for the route/load
combination (see Browse on Load Transport). A warning is displayed if you change the transport and the mass and/or volume capacity of the selected transport is insufficient to meet the current accumulated volume/mass allocated from sales orders. |

| Driver | This is the driver assigned to the Transport. Driver codes are maintained using the Browse on Employees program. | |

Loads are added according to your selection at the Basis of adding loads setup option (Sales Order Setup) and the Daily frequency and Delivery frequency defined for the Route (see Delivery Routes). Loads can only be added for today and into the future. The number of additional loads to add to the route defaults to the value you entered at the Number of loads/days setup option (Sales Order Setup). |
