The system consumes all relevant transportation allocations by searching up the defined hierarchies for both transportation zones and means of transport. The freight order is from zone 4 to 5 with means of transport (MTr) B.

1. (E) The specific route from zone 4 to 5 is contained within the higher-level route from zone 2 (parent of 4) to zone 3 (parent of 5). The allocation for this higher-level route with the matching MTr B is consumed.

2. (C) The entire journey occurs within the geographical scope of the top-level zone 1. Therefore, the "Within" allocation for zone 1 with the matching MTr B is consumed.

3. (B) Following the same "Within" logic for zone 1, the system also searches up the MTr hierarchy. Since MTr A is the parent of MTr B, the allocation for zone 1 with MTr A is also consumed.

A. The destination zone 2 is the parent of the source, not part of the destination path (5 -> 3 -> 1), so this allocation for a different route is not consumed.

D. The means of transport C is a sibling of the freight order's MTr B. The system searches up the hierarchy (to parent A), not sideways to siblings.

Enterprise Business Applications -> Supply Chain -> Transportation Management (TM) -> Freight Order Management -> Transportation Allocation -> Consumption of Transportation Allocations: This section details the logic for how freight documents consume allocations. It explicitly states

"The system checks for transportation allocations at the level of the freight document and at all higher levels of the transportation zone and means of transport hierarchies."

... -> Transportation Management (TM) -> ... -> Transportation Allocation -> Consumption of Transportation Allocations: This document further explains the orientation logic. For "Within

" it states: "If the source location and the destination location of a freight document are in the same transportation zone of a higher-level transportation zone hierarchy

the system also consumes transportation allocations with the orientation Within for this higher-level transportation zone." This validates the consumption of allocations B and C.

... -> Transportation Management (TM) -> ... -> Transportation Allocation -> Consumption of Transportation Allocations: The same document explains the "Along" logic for hierarchies: "...the system consumes this transportation allocation for all freight documents for which the source location is in the source transportation zone of the higher-level hierarchy and the destination location is in the destination transportation zone of the higher-level hierarchy." This validates the consumption of allocation E.
