Business Needs and Requirements
Several CT could be "grouped". Motivation behind that:
- to be able to apply "same operation" to every CT with one click. For example you could change value of one CT field on multiple CT's
- generate pdf documents that "desribe" combined "values" from multiple CTs
- post comments into multiple CTs with one click
- see P/L report for combined CTs
- etc
Air and Ocean and Truck CTs sometimes needs to be grouped under Ocean or Air mode.
