#### **Module Objective**

#### The **Cubication Calculation** module is a logistics planning tool. Its purpose is to calculate the total volume (cubication) and weight of a set of products to be shipped, and then compare that against the capacity of various types of transport vehicles. This helps the logistics team to select the most efficient transport fleet for each shipment.

### **1. Report Parameters**

#### The generated report is divided into two main parts.

#### **Part 1: Cubication Calculation**

#### This section details the total volume of the items you selected. Its columns include **Item Code**, **Item Name**, **Volume**, and **Total Carton**. Pay attention to the final number in the **Total Volume** column.

#### **Part 2: Transporter Volume**

#### This section serves as a reference table that displays the volume capacity of various **Vehicle Types**, such as a Tronton Box Truck and a 20' Container.

#### **How to Use the Report**

#### Compare the **Total Volume** figure from the first part with the **Volume (M3)** column in the second part to choose the most efficient and suitable vehicle for your shipment.

### **Tips & Important Notes**

- #### This module is a very important planning tool for the **Logistics and Sales Admin teams** to optimize shipping costs.
- #### To get a valid calculation, ensure that the dimension data (length, width, height) and weight in the **product master data** is accurate.
