Route processing

Route processing lets you decide which customers to deliver to on which day, and the sequence in which the truck visits each customer. Route processing prints the pick list in a particular sequence based on your deliveries. You can determine if your company uses route processing when you set up your billing company. See Setting up the Billing company.

About setting up and structuring my routes

To begin to structure the routes, select the inventory location where you will pull the goods. Then select the day of the week for delivery and assign the route a number. You can now assign customers as stops along the route.

A customer can belong to more than one route. For example, you delivered to a customer on the Monday route. Later in the week, you delivered to the same customer on the Thursday route. You can also establish multiple Monday routes, for example.

Using order types

Not all order types are available for route delivery. For example, you can create a ship immediate or drop ship customer order, but it will not be assigned any route. With ship immediate orders, customers take the items immediately; they are not delivered. Also, drop ship orders are delivered directly from the vendor, not from your warehouse.
