Re: Key Factors for building a X-Dock / Pooling shipments

My advice would be:

1. Take one order and check that without a cross dock on the lane that will build a direct shipment.

2. Take two orders with the same source and destination and make sure they build a direct shipment.

3. Add in a cross dock on the location and make sure that the option via the cross dock is cheaper and feasible (draw out the costs on a piece of paper)

You may need to have both a direct cost and a via cross dock cost in order for OTM to evaluate which is the cheapest.

Re-post if still having issues.
