Question [SOLVED] Lead time for shipment start time
I want to build a shipment from an order where I need it to calculate 1 day "pre-notice" time for the carrier.
So today an order is planned at 14:00 (no pickup or delivery dates on the order release), I want to have a start time on my shipment of 1 day later (so tomorrow 14:00).
However if an order has a late pickup date of today, it must select an "Express" rate to where that "pre-notice" time of 1 Day is not applicable.

I found out what can be done in OTM:

- THere is a planning parameter "MIN BUNDLING TIME WINDOW AFTER CURRENT TIME" to take into account a certain start time off set. But this will apply it always and that's what I don't want.

- You can add a day to you rate service day duration, but then the start time is still today 14:00. Is also not what I want.

- You can add an (time) accessorial to the rate service detail. According the helpfiles this should be what I want. Has someone used this before? I tried a lot but I can;t get it to work.

If someone used this before please help.

Best regards,
