Re: Bulk Planning not consolidating orders out of cross dock

I'm not expecting OTM to create shipments across itineraries but rather create 2 shipments out of the xdock that are on the same itinerary as the 2 shipments into the xdock.

into xdock
shipment #1, itinerary #1 => ~20,000 kg 2 suppliers orders
shipment #2, itinerary #1 => ~20,000 kg 2 suppliers orders

out of xdock
shipment #3, itinerary #1 => ~15,000 kg only 1 suppliers orders
shipment #4, itinerary #1 => ~ 5,000 kg only 1 suppliers orders
shipment #5, itinerary #1 => ~12,000 kg only 1 suppliers orders
shipment #6, itinerary #1 => ~ 8,000 kg only 1 suppliers orders

I'm ok with itineary #2 creating seperate shipments out of the xdock for the LTL/TL shipments. Of course I would really prefer to have only a single itineary so all of these orders would have a chance to be consolidated out of the xdock.

any help/ideas would be greatly appreciated.....thanks in advance...Brian
