Route assignment (DIR81901)

Related topics

The shipment of a sales order or a specific sales order line can be manually assigned to a route. From this panel a list of all available routes will be displayed – including routes with closed shipments and passed cut-off time. You will be able to dispatch your sales order or sales order line via any one of these.

By default the routes that match the same manner of transport, destination, and shipping agent as those detailed on the sales order will be displayed on this panel. You can toggle this mode by clicking All dep to view all departures.

Options

Select Use this option to select a record.
Delete assignment If the sales order or sales order line has been manually assigned you may use this option to un-assign it.

Function keys

More departures View more route departures.

Note: By default the number of days in the future that the system will search through is defined in the Search time period field in the DIS control file. Clicking this function key will display routes that have been scheduled for the next period.

All dep View all departures to the route.

In default mode the panel will only display:

  • the routes that have the same manner of transport as the sales order/sales order line,
  • routes with the same destination (defined in the sales order delivery address), and
  • routes that use the same shipping agent.

When All dep is pressed all routes that are departing from the warehouse will be displayed.
