Route processing
Use route processing when you decide the delivery day for the customers and the delivery sequence of the truck to the customers.
The pick list is printed in a particular sequence based on your deliveries. You can determine if your company uses route processing when you set up your billing company.
- Setting up and structuring routes
To structure the routes, select the inventory location to pull the goods. Select the day of the week for delivery and assign the route a number. You can also assign customers as stops along the route.
A customer can belong to more than one route. For example, you deliver to a customer on the Monday route. Later in the week, you deliver to the same customer on the Thursday route. You can also establish multiple Monday routes.
- Using order types
Not all order types are available for route delivery. For example, you can create a ship immediate or dropship customer order, but it is assigned to any route. With ship immediate orders, customers immediately take the items, but they are not delivered. Dropship orders are directly delivered from the vendor and not from your warehouse.
