Routing Sequence

This page is accessed via Operational Planning > Power Data > Planning > Routing Sequence.

Routing sequences provide flexibility in controlling the sequence of order stops on a shipment. This is not order priority but the sequencing of stops for multi-stop shipments.

Routing sequences appear on the following:

• Order Base: Defaults to the order release.
• Order Release: This routing sequence information only applies for shipments picking up at the source or plan from the location for the order release. The dropoff routing sequence only applies for shipments dropping off at the destination or plan to location for the order release.
• Order Movement: This information only applies to the source and destination locations of that specific order movement and will override any order release routing sequence information at this location.
• Location: This routing sequence information is only used if the location is not covered by the order release or order movement rules or if the order release or order movement does not specify routing sequence values.
• Corporation: This routing sequence information is used as a default for the location routing sequence information (only used when the location routing sequence is blank). This can be blank as well.

The following routing sequences are pre-configured.

Routing Sequence	Description	Sequence Priority	Allow Multiple
Absolute First	The pickup/delivery stops of this order are sequenced before the stops of any other orders.	1	No
First	The pickup/delivery stops of this order are sequenced after any order with a routing sequence type of Absolute First, but before the stops of any other orders not marked First.	2	Yes
Last	The pickup/delivery stops of this order are sequenced before any order with a routing sequence type of Absolute Last, but after the stops of any other orders not marked Last.	998	Yes
Absolute Last	The pickup/delivery stops of this order are sequenced after the stops of any other orders.	999	No

If two orders both have a routing sequence of absolute first, two shipments will be built unless they are the same pickup location.

Adding Routing Sequences

1. Enter a unique Routing Sequence ID.
2. Optionally, enter a Description.
3. Enter a Domain Name or accept the default.
4. Enter the Sequence Priority. This is a number between 1 and 999. The lower the number the earlier the stop.
5. Select the Allow Multiples check box to allow the same number to be entered more than once. Absolute First and Absolute Last do not allow multiple instances of the same number.
6. Click Finished.
