The Multi-Leg Functionality in the TMS transport module allows for the management of complex jobs involving multiple legs. This setup uses a Mother and Child Job configuration, where the main transport order is designated as the Mother TO and each leg is represented as a Child TO. This approach ensures accurate cost and revenue allocation for each leg while maintaining a consolidated view of the job.

Detention Charges: Can be calculated per leg if required.
