Re: Ship Unit numbering sequence

Hi - I would check the following:

1. Are the weight and volume values on your order release ship unit all the same ? They may look the same in the UI, but it is worth checking that all of the weight and volume values in the database are the same as well. I believe the relevant columns are (ship_unit.unit_weight, ship_unit.unit_weight_base, ship_unit.net_weight, ship_unit.unit_net_weight_base, ship_unit.unit_volume and ship_unit.unit_volume_base).

2. When the shipments are being built, are the types of shipment equipment that are being selected for each shipment the same in terms of the weight and volume capacity ?

3. Check the insert date and time of the order release ship units ? Is this order the same as the ship unit ID ?

My understanding is that the ship units should get sorted in descending order of weight / volume (depending how your conopt settings are configured) during the process when OTM is deciding which ship units get assigned to which pieces of shipment equipment. All else being equal, it will probably take the ship units in the order in which they are created in the DB or the ship unit ID.

Re-post with your findings.
