Customer Master: Routes |
This tab displays the truck routes that you have set to deliver to the customer. When a Sales Order is entered for the customer, the system will automatically assign the earliest possible Ship Date and Ship Via based on the routes available. In the example shown to the right, orders for the customer will be shipped on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays via Delivery Truck #1. The Stop # is entered as Stop 5, but it can also be left blank. Stop order can be changed at any time during scheduling in the Truck Manifest screen. If the Ship Via entered is linked to a Truck, the order will automatically appear on the route for the scheduled Ship Date. A Ship Via can be linked to a Truck through the Ship Via screen. Truck Routes can also be entered on the Ship To level. Routes entered for a specific Ship To will override the route set here.

If the stop number is negligible, leave this field blank. You may also change this number when you create the Truck Manifest Entry.
