Which of the following resources can be used to represent a capacity? Note: There are 2 correct answers to this question.

Question

Options

• ATransportation unit resource
• BCalendar resource
• CEquipment types
• DHandling resource

• A
  90% (37)
• B
  5% (2)
• C
  5% (2)

Explanation

In SAP Transportation Management, Transportation Unit resources (e.g., trucks, containers) carry explicit capacity attributes such as weight and volume limits, making them a direct representation of physical transport capacity. Handling resources (e.g., forklifts, loading docks) similarly define throughput or handling capacity at a location, so both A and D correctly model capacity.

Calendar resources (B) define availability windows and working time schedules - they govern when a resource is available, not how much it can hold or process. Equipment types (C) are classification templates or categories used to define characteristics of equipment; they are type definitions, not actual resource instances with assignable capacity values.

Memory tip: Think "physical things that can hold or move stuff" = capacity resources. A truck (Transportation Unit) holds cargo; a loading dock (Handling resource) processes cargo - both have measurable limits. A calendar tells you when, and an equipment type tells you what kind, neither answers how much.
