Re: Shipment always 1 leg short of Itinerary

Kee,

As a rule of thumb, the number of shipments that will get produced is the same as the number of legs that you have defined on your itinerary (at least where you are not using the cross dock functionality).

In your example, if you want to create 5 shipments, then you should set up the itinerary as below:

Leg 1: Origin - Center
Leg 2: Center - Hub1
Leg 3: Hub1 - Hub2
Leg 4: Hub2 - Hub3
Leg 5: Hub3 - Destination

The source of leg 1 and the destination of leg 5 do not need to be defined at the leg level because that is taken from the lane that is defined on the itinerary.
