Stop Sequence

Depending on how you assign shipments on a load, the system creates a default stop sequence. The system enables you to specify the total distance for a load and the distance between stops. You can also use the optimize feature to rearrange the stop sequencing. In addition, you can maintain the schedule load, shipment date, and deliver date and time for each stop. If you have configured a third-party stop optimizer, you can set up the stop sequence for a more efficient load.

Note: The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software does not include distance calculation or optimization programs. These must be developed or purchased separately. You can use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne software to link to distance calculation programs.

You might encounter difficulties while optimizing or changing the sequence of the shipments on a load. This table identifies possible difficulties and the probable cause:

Possible Difficulty	Probable Cause
Distance does not import for load stop sequence	On the Work With Transportation Constants form, the branch/plant or depot must have a value in the Distance Source field that corresponds to the number that is suggested by the mileage calculation program.
Load stop sequence not available	You must select an unprotected load to change a stop sequence.
