Allow Equipment Consolidation

The Allow Equipment Consolidation check box determines how order release equipment is handled during bundling and allows order releases which have equipment specified to be bundled together. The rules by which this bundling occurs are as follows:

• If the orders have different values for this option, they are incompatible and will not be bundled.
• If the orders have this check box is not selected and both have order release equipment, the bundle order release equipment will be the total of the order release equipment on the two orders.

Example 1:
Order Release 1 has 2 x 20FT trailers and 1 x 40FT trailer
Order Release 2 has 1 x 20FT trailer and 1 REFRIGERATED trailer

Bundle will have 3 x 20FT trailers, 1 x 40FT trailer, and 1 REFRIGERATED trailer

Example 2:
Order Release 1 has 2 x 20FT trailers and 1 x 40FT trailer
Order Release 2 has 1 x 20FT trailer and 2 x 40FT trailer

Bundle will have 3 x 20FT trailers and 3 x 40FT trailers

Example 3:
Order Release 1 has 1 x 20FT trailer
Order Release 2 has 1 x 20FT trailer

Bundle will have 2 x 20FT trailers

• If the orders both have this check box selected and both have order release equipment, the bundled Order Release equipment will be the total of the order release equipment, minus the intersection of the order release equipment. That is, it will be all the equipment on both orders (once), plus all the equipment specific to each of the orders.

Example 1:

OR1 has 2 x 20FT trailers and 1 x 40FT trailer
OR2 has 1 x 20FT trailer and 1 REFRIGERATED trailer

Bundle will have 2 x 20FT trailers, 1 x 40FT trailer, and 1 REFRIGERATED trailer

Example 2:
OR1 has 2 x 20FT trailers and 1 x 40FT trailer
OR2 has 1 x 20FT trailer and 2 x 40FT trailer

Bundle will have 2 x 20FT trailers and 2 x 40FT trailers

Example 3:
OR1 has 1 x 20FT trailer
OR2 has 1 x 20FT trailer

Bundle will have 1 x 20FT trailer

• If one or the other order does not have order release equipment, the equipment on the bundle will be the equipment on the order which does have order release equipment.
