Processing orders by route

Before you can process a route order, you must define routes in Item and Order Billing.
  1. Specify and release the order in Item and Order Billing.
    Note:  The application calculates the day of the week for the expected ship date and finds the next available delivery day.
  2. Select Miscellaneous Warehouse Processes > Warehouse Route Creation.
  3. Create the temporary route orders to be picked, packed, and shipped.
  4. Optionally, adjust the routes. Consider these options:
    Access Action
    Routes
    • Change or delete stops
    • Change the sequence of stops
    • Delete orders on a stop
    Stops Delete documents on a stop or delete a route
    Transfer Stop Transfer a stop to another route or stop
    Transfer Document Transfer a document to another stop and route
    Note:  You cannot make changes to a route after it is released.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Release the route.
  7. Optionally, run Batch Allocation to allocate inventory if your company is set up for batch allocation in Inventory Control.
    Online allocation occurs at Item and Order Billing
  8. Print the pick list.
    You must run Warehouse Route Creation before printing the pick list so orders print for the route. The stops print in reverse on pick lists, so that the last stop is loaded first and the first stop is loaded last.
    Note:  When you print the pick list, the application deletes the temporary route. You cannot change routes after printing the pick list.
  9. Depending on the process type, perform the required picking, packing, and shipping feedback.
  10. Release the shipment.
  11. Create the shipment-related invoice.
