Stop

A stop is a location (address) and contains information about when to arrive at that location.

It has an Id that is referenced in Order Details. This Id will also be referenced in outgoing communication (if relevant). The Stop Id must be unique within one Transport Order. There is no global uniqueness constraint on the Transporeon platform, however, it is recommended to use globally unique stop ids.

You can also include multiple stops with different ids but the same address data if this is required to represent the correct stop sequence for certain types of transports.

Examples: Loading or unloading times for 2021-10-08T14:15:00Z, 2021-10-08T14:15:00+02:00 and even 2021-10-08T14:15:00-10:00 will be displayed in our front-end application as 14:15. The offsets for exports and further data processing is solely taken from the timezone field!
