TM 9.

0 feature in FU building: Explode default

route indicator

With TM is is possible to define default routes.

A default route defines the sequence of stops for a given source/destination location
combination.

So far the default routes could be manually exploded in a FU.

Sometimes the route is known even without doing any planning as it is always the same and
known in advance.

However an automatic explosion of a default route when creating a FU was not possible.

Based on some customer feedback we have introduced therefore a new feature in the FU
building rule.

The indicator in the FU building rule is called 'apply default route'.

In case this indicator is set the system checks at point of FU creation, if a default route exists
for the given source & destination location.

In case a default route is found it will automatically be exploded.

This feature works greatly based on ERP orders & deliveries and as well based on
forwarding orders.

In addition for FWOs a default route can also be exploded automaticall in case intermediate
stops are inserted manually and the source/destination location combination of a stage
matches a default route.

The beauty of the new feature is, that a routing without doing any planning can be done.

3. Now, if for instance if a sales order is created the default route will be exploded
automatically. In below screenshot you can see the integrated sales order scheduling while
creating a sales order with the (optional) popup with the TM transportation proposal.

You can see in the lo, that the default route was exploded.
