Port of Load/Discharge Routing Constraint

This is enabled via the parameter "USE ROUTING CONSTRAINT FOR PORT SELECTION". Allowable ports of load and ports of discharge are then defined on the Routing Constraint manager (accessed via Shipment Management > Itinerary Management > Routing Constraint Manager using the Sequence Number field).

Note: This parameter is also used for Rate Inquiry Network Rate and Route, although in this case, the Ports of Load or Ports of Discharge grid specifies the desired ports, rather than a routing constraint because rate inquiry does not have a routing constraint input.

This allows you to specify ports of load and/or ports of discharge to be used as routing constraints. Port of load and port of discharge refer to the ports that are used for the ocean shipment, whether or not they are source/destination locations on the shipment, or just via points on a shipment with arbitraries.

This functionality is available for building a shipment from one or more order releases with Network Routing enabled, such as bulk plan, Show Network Routing Option, and Build Shipment - Direct. This parameter does not apply for Show Network Routing Options-Ocean; neither order release nor order movement.

It is not available for order movement planning. Nor is it available for any rate inquiry since there is no routing constraint input for rate inquiry.

On the Routing Constraint manager, the Routing Constraint Type must be set to All.

Define the ports of load and ports of discharge by setting the Sequence Number on the Routing Constraint manager: Set to "1" to specify a port of load and "2" to specify a port of discharge.
