Re: Using Routing Rules

I would be looking at rate quality factors for this scenario. I have used them in a few implementations and they should work fine for what you are looking to achieve.

I am not sure that routing rules were ever designed to accomplish this kind of operational planning scenario.

An alternative, if you know that each order coming out of a location should be shipped with a specified service provider, is to enforce that as a constraint on the order release. You could do that with a Direct SQL update agent at the time of order release / order base creation.
