1. Carriers
2. The party(ies) that transport the products.
3. Transport Area Categories
4. A Category to group the transport areas.

Using

Go to Logistics Distribution --> Route. When a customer has made a purchase for a set order day and this matches the Transport settings, this customer will appear in the list.

You can see at a glance which Route needs to leave on the order day, how many Carts need to go and how much of the Vehicle capacity is used.

1. Select the Route.
2. Here you see the underlying debtors and the order of the trip.
3. You can change the Driver, Vehicle and Parent debtor here by the Edit button.
4. When you select the debtor you will see the following:

• Information about order times.
• Notes
• Notes for the current order day
• Permanent Notes
• Notes that remain attached to the debtor until they are removed.
• Options to influence the order of the route.
• The delete button to remove the debtor from the route.
• Total

It is possible that you want to see a sum of all routes.

1. Go to Logistics Distribution --> Route --> Total.
2. Here you see a screen of Total data of all Routes.
