Known Optimization Goal Constraints

Here are some known constraints for optimization goals.

We don't recommend mixing routing plans with different optimization goals in the same bucket, especially if the plans having an optimization goal set to Prioritize earlier start of most important activities are combined with plans having other optimization goals. If such a combination is inevitable, we recommend preventing the ability to move activities between routes and reorder activities within the same route for all the plans, except the ones that have the optimization goal set to Prioritize earlier start of most important activities.

We don't recommend using Immediate Routing for activities matching the filter for the same set of activities that are used by the plan having the optimization goal set to Prioritize earlier start of most important activities as the assignments may be handled differently. However, you can combine an Immediate Routing for Urgent activities plan along side of a plan having the optimization goal set to Prioritize earlier start of most important activities, providing that activities with Urgent priority levels have the maximum non-assignment costs in the plan settings.
