Re: Multi-stops Sell Shipment

Hi

Tthere should not be any problem in getting a multi stop sell shipment.
I didnt try your volume break for rating, but with a conventional base cost and stop off charges for each additional stop (exclude source and final destination from total stops when you intend to count the no. of stops), i was ablt to achieve multi stop sell shipment.

As far as my understanding goes, OTM calculates total distance for all possible lane combinations, in your case source (S) and three delivery locations (A,B,C). OTM will calculate total distance for each of these lane combinations SABC, SACB, SBAC, SBCA, SCAB & SCBA and also for sum of distances of SA, SB & SC. Whichever combination yields least distance, OTM will form that as shipment.

Hope this might be of some use to you

thanks and regards
Pradeep
