Hi everyone,

Fyi, I have resolved this with the help of Oracle Support. The solution is as follows:

There are two problems that are causing the consolidation to fail.

1. The default consolidation logic for same origin/destination orders is greedy and attempting to is not evaluating all options to be consolidated. It eventually fails and results in 4 shipments. This is controlled by the already visited property (earlier discussed). This controls the use of the "greedy" algorithm or the iterative algorithm. Therefore suggestion is that we make the following permanent property change:

glog.business.consolidation.multistop.disableSameO DPairing = true

2. The consolidation is done via the Multistop logic (even though the orders have the same origin/destination). The multistop logic first ignores the interim stop as it is trying to consolidate the potential shipments. Because of this, we are trying to locate the Service Time between the order's source location and destination location.

In the example, we do not have any Service information defined for the leg: Origin -> Final Dest and therefore this calculation is failing.

You will need to define this information in your rate service to allow the Multistop to complete successfuly.


Thanks to Oracle Support for this info!
