[Reports & Analysis](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/reports-analysis?hsLang=en) # Shipment Structure: Calculating and Comparing Scenarios #### The **Shipment Structure** function allows you to run highly complex transport cost simulations. While normal requests often query point-to-point prices, here you can model entire logistics scenarios. Calculate different shipment sizes (weight, volume) across multiple routes simultaneously against your tariffs stored in the system. #### This is the ideal tool for tender analyses, budget planning, or strategic "what-if" scenarios. **Important Note on Availability:** \> The "Shipment Structure / Scenarios" function is a high-end feature for strategic controlling and is available starting from the **Corporate** package (as well as in the Enterprise package). --- ### 1. Accessing the Function 1. Click on the **"Compare"** (*Vergleichen*) menu item in the top navigation bar. 2. Select the **"Shipment Structure"** (*Sendungsstruktur*) option from the dropdown menu. --- ### 2. Defining Scenario and Transport Mode - **Select Transport Mode:** Determine the mode for your simulation at the top (e.g., Air Freight, Road Freight, Container FCL, etc.). - **Manage Scenario:** On the left side, you can create different projects (e.g., "Scenario #1: Eastern Europe Expansion"), add new ones, or switch between existing simulations. --- ### 3. Setting Parameters (The Data Basis) On the right side, you configure which data OYASO should use for the calculation: - **Logistics Service Providers:** Select specific partners or leave the field empty to compare all available carriers against each other. - **Quote Request (Rates):** Select the stored tariff (tender/contract) that should be used as the price basis. - **Currency:** Set the desired output currency (e.g., Euro). --- ### 4. Evaluation and Comparison The system generates a detailed matrix for your analysis: - **Rows:** Each row represents a specific combination of route and shipment size (e.g., *"Dortmund -\> Munich, 30 shipments at 23 t"*). - **Columns:** Here, the calculated costs of the different providers are displayed side-by-side. - **Direct Comparison:** Percentage values in brackets (e.g., *+15.5%*) immediately show you the deviation from the cheapest provider in the scenario. - **Total Costs:** At the end of the table, you will see the cumulative total sum for the entire transport package. --- ### Data Export for Presentations Would you like to present the results in a meeting or process them further internally? Simply click the orange **"Excel"** button directly above the results table to download the complete scenario. - [Getting Started & General Information](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/getting-started-general-information?hsLang=en) - [Submit inquiries](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/submit-inquiries?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Create Requests](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/submit-inquiries?hsLang=en#create-requests) - [Manage Requests](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/submit-inquiries?hsLang=en#manage-requests) - [Rates, Plans & Contracts](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/rates-plans-contracts?hsLang=en) - [Contract Management & Awarding](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/contract-management-awarding?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Decision & Award](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/contract-management-awarding?hsLang=en#decision-award) - [Status & Completion](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/contract-management-awarding?hsLang=en#status-completion) - [Admin & Settings](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/admin-settings?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Users & Security](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/admin-settings?hsLang=en#users-security) - [Master Data & Contacts](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/admin-settings?hsLang=en#master-data-contacts) - [System & Integrations](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/admin-settings?hsLang=en#system-integrations) - [Reports & Analysis](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/reports-analysis?hsLang=en) - [Features](https://support.oyaso.com/en/knowledge-base/features?hsLang=en) [Impressum](https://oyaso.com/impressum/)| [Datenschutz](https://oyaso.com/datenschutz/) | [AGB](https://oyaso.com/geschaeftsbedingungen/) Copyright © 2025, OYASO GmbH
