Setup & Configurations – Continuous Move Actions
There are 3 Actions associated to Continuous Move:
1. Find Shipments
2. Link Shipments
3. Remove/Disband
Setup & Configurations – Find Shipments Action
You must choose single Shipment & run this action for which you want OTM to find the Continuous Move shipments
from system. This Action fetches the Linkable Shipments from system & passes them to Link Shipment function.
Hence, Find & link Shipments actions work in coordination.
Setup & Configurations – Find Shipments Action
Setup & Configurations – Link Shipments Action

Automation
Parameter Set
For Automatically link shipment via Continuous Move:
Bulk Continuous Move
Navigation: Operational Planning > Process Management > Bulk Continuous Move
Bulk Continuous Move
Navigation: Operational Planning > Process Management > Bulk Continuous Move
Already Performed Bulk Continuous Moves can be found in Operation Planning module on OTM Admin Home screen.
Navigation: Operational Planning > Planning Results > Continuous Move
Limitations
1. Shipments of 2 different Service Providers can’t be linked.
2. Continuous Move rely on the defined continuous move rule (– Lane, Max Connection Time, Distance, etc). If
any shipments doesn’t fit in the defined values, that can’t be linked.
However, Oracle has given one method to overcome this limitation as well. In Link Shipment action, there is a
checkbox given on the screen with label as “Override Continuous Movement Rules”. If checked, OTM will ignore
Continuous move rules defined on Rate offering.
