There may be times when users need to create orders that may represent an itinerary of an Original order. This itinerary can be broken into legs. Each leg of this itinerary can be routed by different vehicles. These leg orders mimic cross docking operations.
An itinerary can be created from a double-ended order in the Order list or from orders in the Unassigned Stops quadrant.
Ü Note&emdash; Only double-ended orders will have the Itinerary option available to them. Orders can also ONLY be created for double-ended orders that are not already leg orders.
Two icons are used on the Unassigned Stops quadrant to represent the itinerary and the legs of the itinerary. They are:
·
- itinerary
·
- Itinerary leg
Once an itinerary is created, users can perform the following tasks:
· Create/edit a leg order &endash; from the Itinerary page, a leg order can be added or edited, see Creating/Editing a Leg Order for more information.
