In a high velocity inventory environment it's possible, if not likely, that warehouse workers will make mistakes when picking pallets to a Transport Load.
There currently is not a robust set of functionality to manage transport loads. This request is to add feature sets to Transport loads that allow warehouse managers to manage edge cases that come up with Warehouse operation. This might include
1) Removing lines from Transport loads
2) Transferring lines to new transport loads
3) Deleting transport loads when necessary.

I totally agree with you Zach. These changes you suggest would be very beneficial to the base functionality in this screen.I've been using this Transport load screen mainly to ship full trucks of license plates coming cross docking works generated from different sales orders between several legal entities and multiple destination without load planning them and I know for sure; mistakes can be easily happened. Every Transport load generated for the company I work for is usually shipped to one Site destination and having multiple destinations in a Transport load ID is avoided to not mess with the documentation. I would also suggest including in the enhancement of this screen the following:Let the transport screen generate its own Bill of Lading with the current information of what is loaded in the Transport load. Currently, if you hit Generate BOL, D365 will generate multiple times documents based on the shipments and orders on the Transport loads, meaning, it will generate separately a BOL times the number of orders in the Transport load instead of giving the user only one Bill of Lading for that Transport load.I would think in adding a block or Warning to the Transport loading MDMI that let the user know they are adding a different Sales orders destination for Intercompany orders so they can back up and if would load a pallet to a wrong destination.

Thank you, Zach! As someone who works with Warehouse teams where Transport Loads are used, this is definitely needed functionality.I would also recommend adding a separate screen for viewing the:Transport Load LinesTransport Load Lines DetailThe additional screens would allow for quicker look-up of data such as which Transport Load a Work ID or License Plate is assigned to as well as the Items and quantities associated with a License Plate on the Load.
