Enter Delivery Route

Explanation

This activity is used to create a delivery/arrival route - there is no separate basic data for arrival routes. This optional task is to be performed by a system administrator or an equivalent person.

Delivery route planning is a method to coordinate the delivery of goods to the receiver who order frequently and a method to streamline incoming supplies from the sender. In customer orders, this functionality is only used for customers who order parts regularly and/or frequently, but in quantities smaller than full truck loads. It would only be useful if you have more than one customer with similar delivery requirements who are located close enough to be serviced by the same delivery route.

In purchase orders, arrival route is used to control the incoming traffic of supplies. The arrivals of purchase parts are scheduled to efficiently manage the receiving process of supplies.

Since shipment orders covers the whole process from sender to receiver, both delivery and arrival route can be defined on the order.

It is also part of IFS transport planning, which includes load lists and consignments. Route planning allows you to plan deliveries based upon routes, and to determine the last point in time that an order can be taken and still be included in a specific delivery route. You can also link forwarding agents to the delivery routes if you use them for transport purposes.

The route may be used for planning when creating a supplier schedule.
