Enabling Date Calculation with Route Management Allowed

This document describes how you enable date calculation with the use of route management. This is called TPL date calculation.

TPL date calculation must be used when route planning is used.

You can choose between using dispatches by delivery number or by shipment (transportation management).

If you use dispatches by delivery, you must at least set up route, route departures and route selections.

You can also define unloading places and departure exceptions.

If you use dispatches by shipment, you must also set up rules for managing shipments.

Settings for routes and shipments are described in .

These tables are updated:

Shipments are stored in the DCONSI table.
Routes are stored in the DROUTE table.
Route dispatches are stored in the DROUDI table.
Connections between shipments/deliveries and documents are stored in the DDOCUX table.
The delivery schedule (RSS100) is stored in the ORSHEAD table in terms of calculated start and end date for the entire schedule.
The delivery schedule connected to item (RSS101) is stored in the ORSITM table in terms of calculated start and end date for the schedule item.
The delivery schedule/item connected to demands (RSS102) is stored in the ORSINS table.
