Dispose shipments to a tour
To dispose a shipment onto a tour, select the shipment in the shipments/legs section and press and hold it with the left mouse key (drag and drop).
Pull this shipment into the tours section.
The mouse key changes in the process.
Please ensure that the leg is moved to the selected tour.
The shipment is now set to Disposed and disappears from the overview of the shipments.
The shipment is located on the tour. This is visible in the lower tour info/shipments on tour section
Further interaction options are explained in detail in the respective pages relating to the sections.
Dispo release/blocking
Shipments can only be pulled into a tour if they have a dispo release.
This is indicated with a green dot.
Dispo releases are created if the tour leading the shipment is released.
Example:
Total distance from Hamburg to Frankfurt.
Pick up route within Hamburg.
Main carriage from Hamburg to Frankfurt.
Delivery tour within Frankfurt.
The pickup route in Hamburg is disposed onto a pick up tour within Hamburg.
A remaining route from Hamburg to Frankfurt results.
The remaining route receives the dispo release as soon as the pickup tour is released.
Linking the routes
The creation of routes is done in a certain pattern.
The following chain results from a total distance during the disposition (ideal case): Pick up → Main carriage → Delivery
The linking looks as follows for multiple routes of one type: Pick up → 2. Pick up → 1. Main carriage → 2. Main carriage → 3. Main carriage → 1. Delivery → 2. Delivery.
Calculate kilometer
Please open a leg file in the fast entry to calculate the kilometer for all section of a customer order.
→ Switch to the Leg tab.
You can now either manually enter the KM or select a line and click the context menu entry Calculate kilometer.
However this requires a route server linked to the system, e.g. from PTV.
The leg data are transferred to the route server and the km are entered into the fields.
