Logistics distribution - Route

In Easyflor it is possible to map out a preset route for truck drivers.

Preliminary settings

Before we can use it, there are a number of things that need to be set up in other places in Easyflor. First we go to Admin → (Organization) Transport area categories → New. Here you can give a name to the category. Then click on save.

Then we go to Admin → (Organization) Transport areas → New. Give the transport area a name here and select the previously created category. (Multiple areas can be linked to a category.) And choose the country in which this area is located. Then click on save.

Finally we go to Admin → (Organization) Carriers → New. Enter the name of the carrier, the code and the country where the carrier will drive, and save this.

Click on the just created carrier and create at least a Driver, Route and Vehicle here.

Driver: Click on New and enter at least the person's surname.

Route: Click on New and enter the name.

Vehicle: Click on New and enter the name and license plate of the vehicle.

Optionally, a route per delivery day can be set per driver. If you do this here, the same route is automatically created every week for that day, instead of having to do this manually every week for that day.

Usage

Route per delivery day set: If one location has a higher priority than the other, go to: Logistics distribution → (Transport) Route → [Route] Prioritize. Here you can adjust the order of destinations on the route.

Note: This is set at Organization --> (General) Debtors --> [Debtor] --> (General) Configuration --> (Logistics) Transport --> (General) Carrier per day.

No route per delivery day set: Go to Logistics distribution → (Transport) Route → New → Choose route, driver and vehicle. Then click on apply.

After these steps, the overview is ready to be created. Go to Logistics distribution → (Transport) Overview. Choose the driver here and set the date correctly. Optionally choose the location where the driver is located.
