Transport route code setup
Transport routes can be set up via the Transport Routes page.
You can view/edit a transport route or create a new transport route.
Once the user creates/opens a transport route, they can perform the following:
- State the dates between which the route version applies
- Select the days of the week when the route version applies
- Block the transport route for use
NoteYou can create as many route versions as required.
NoteThis setup helps define the logistical time for a specific route version, weekday, and shipping agent combination in Aptean Shop Floor Logistics extension.
You can also assign a Shipping Agent to a Route Version for a specific shipment day, from the Transport Route Details page. Multiple route versions are allowed for an overlapping time period if the weekdays are different. For example, a special route version can be created for a festival season with weekdays that don’t coincide with the other existing route version.
ImportantOnly one version apart from the default version can exist for the same Source No., Address Code, Location Code, and Route Code combination.

ImportantThe Logistical Time is shown in the Shop Floor Activities page for each warehouse request. If the Shipping Agent, Transport Route Code, Shipment Date, and Active Version on the sales order matches with the corresponding fields on the Transport Route Details page, the logistical time is inherited from the Transport Route Details page. Otherwise, the logistical time is inherited from either the Customer or the Ship-to Address page.
