| Re: multistop shipment
Hi Kishore,
Are your locations outside of the US? OTM should autopopulate the long-lat information based on the US Zip Code.
We have a multi stop itinerary with the option of Optimize Equipment (instead of No Equipment Option) and it works fine.
Some tips that may also help you are:
If your shipments is:
A(pick up) to B (pick up) to C (drop off),
Make sure that you have rate records for the following lines:
A to C
B to C
Make sure that a rate per mile can be used in either case (a rate per mile for each rate record or using the Circuitous Distance Cost).
I wonder if multistop works under a LookUp distance configuration but make sure that the distances from A to B and from B to C are also included in your lookup distance table.
Check the time windows on your order releases, there might be a time constraint there for a multistop.
Finally, sometimes we have had problems planning multi-stop shipments. We opted to plan 2 direct shipments that later can be
merged together in a multistop.
Hope this helps,
