A Ship Unit Spec (or often referred to as the Transport Handling Unit/THU) does not
need Length, Width, and Height populated if these values are sent into OTM.
These values could also get copied from the Packaged Item to the Ship Unit.

Planning Parameters
A new CONTAINER OPT CONFIG ID for the new Conopt functionality must be configured in the
Planning Parameter set. The old version of Load Config must be turned off when using the new
version. This is done by specifying NO LOAD CONFIG as the parameter for LOAD CONFIG
ENGINE TYPE.
0: NO MIXING ALLOWED
1: WIDTHWISE MIXING ALLOWED
2: WIDTHWISE AND STACKING MIXING ALLOWED
Note: By setting this to 2, you will maximize the space in the equipment.

Pros
Optimize Trailer or Container Volumetric Utilization
By placing disparate items in a container as
efficiently as possible given a set of constraints, an
overall lower number of containers will be required.
Provide an interactive graphical image of the solve
This will provide planners and warehouse
personnel with indications as to how a particular solve
built the shipment in question.
Tool also aids in configuration testing.
OTM 3D can be used along with the rainbow pallet
functionality which allows OTM to construct the pallets
and then optimize into the equipment using 3D Load
Config.

Cons
3-D Load Configuration must be used with
items meant to be 3-D configured.
Attempting to plan non 3-D load configuration
items (those without appropriate ship unit
specification constraints set) in the same bulk
plan with 3-D load configuration items will
result in an exception.

Lessons Learned
When setting the Domain Default Planning Parameter set, keep in mind that some actions may
revert to the Domain Default Planning Parameter set. If this is not 3D enabled, the shipment will
change from 3D PLACEMENT to NO LOAD CONFIG and an error will be displayed when
attempting to view the shipment in 3D.
