Re-sequence Shipments
This page is accessed via Fleet Management > Resource Management > Work Assignment > Actions > Re-sequence Shipment.
This action is also called via drag and drop on the workbench as described below.
Run this action to change the order of shipments on a work assignment. If the service time calculation is infeasible you are prompted to force the action.
Note: When you run this action, the system considers the WA MAX DISTANCE BETWEEN SHIPMENTS, WA MAX DURATION BETWEEN SHIPMENTS, WA MAX SHIPMENTS IN TOUR, and WA MIN SHIPMENTS IN TOUR logic configuration parameters. If these parameters are violated by the action, you will be prompted to stop the action, or to override the violations and continue the action.
Changing Shipment Sequences
- After selecting the option button in front of the shipment, you can change the sequence of the shipments by using the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
- If you want to reset the sequence to the sequence the rows were in when you first entered the screen, click the Default Sort button.
- After you change the order of the shipments, optionally use the Recalculate button to calculate the changes in distance and duration for the empty portions of the work assignment that occur between shipments. You do not need to click this button as recalculations are done when you click the Update Work Assignment button.
- To save the sequence, click the Update Work Assignment button.
Using Drag-and-Drop on a Workbench Layout
On a workbench layout with a shipment table and a Work Assignment Gantt chart, you can use drag-and-drop functionality to re-sequence shipments on a work assignment.
On the Work Assignment Gantt chart, drag a shipment and drop it exactly where you want to re-sequence the shipment. For example, if you drop it before the other shipments, then if feasible the shipment is re-sequenced to be at that time and order in the work assignment. Once the shipment is dropped, all recalculations are completed in the background and the work assignment is updated.
