Create, modify, and delete global shipping routes

In the Shipping Route Maintenance dialog box, you can create, modify, and delete shipping routes that are available for all production control jobs. Shipping routes can be used to send items within a job to multiple shipping destinations, including intermediate destinations, such as sending material to an external galvanizer. Items can only be shipped from their current location to the next assigned destination, not to the final destination. The initial location of all items is the shop location. If no shipping route is assigned for items, the items will be shipped from the shop to the jobsite. Items can either be returned to the shop and be added to another load with other material items, or shipped from the intermediate destination directly to the jobsite or next destination.

To access the Shipping Route Maintenance dialog box, do the following:

  1. Click the Maintenance ribbon tab.

  2. On the menu, select Production Control > Global Shipping Route Maintenance.

The Shipping Route Maintenance dialog box opens, displaying all existing shipping routes that can be used in production control jobs.

Create a shipping route

  1. Click New.
  2. In the Shipping Route dialog box, type a description for the new shipping route.

  3. In the Join with Assembly Option list, select if and when the weight of an accessory part is included in the shipping weight of the assembly.

    The options are:

    • None: The weight of the accessory is not included in the shipping weight of the assembly. If the Jobsite destination is in the shipping route, select the None option.
    • Join with assembly for first destination: The weight of the accessory is joined to the shipping weight of the assembly for all of its destinations except for the first one.
    • Join with assembly for...: The weight of the accessory is included in the shipping weight of the assembly for the destination that you select in the Join with Assembly For list, and for any other destinations after that one.
    • Join with assembly after...: The weight of the accessory is included in the shipping weight of the assembly for all destinations after the destination you select in the Join With Assembly After list.
  4. To adjust the destinations in the shipping route, do any of the following:

    To

    Do this

    Add a new destination

    1. Click Add.

    2. In the Destination Group field, do one of the following:

      • To create a new destination group, type a description for it in the Destination Group field.

      • To modify an existing destination group, click the arrow on the right side of the Destination Group and select a destination group.

      Destination groups provide a list of available destinations and are often best used by containing all the similar destinations in a single group. If shipping tickets are required from a destination back to the shop, it is recommended not to use the shop as an additional group because that location is already assigned a function, and using the shop as a group may cause confusion.

      Note that you cannot modify the firms in the Jobsite destination group.

    3. Modify the firms in the destination group according to your needs:

      • To add a firm, click Add Firm, select the firm type and firm name, and click OK.

        You can only select firms that are already saved in the Address Book.

      • To remove a firm from the destination, click the firm, click Remove Firm, and click Yes to confirm deleting the firm.

      • To set a firm as the primary firm, click the firm, and click Set Firm as Primary.

        The primary firm will have the remaining totals reported against it in production statuses, production control reports, and project summary reports. However, parts assigned to the shipping route can be shipped for any of the firms that you have added.

    4. Click Save Destination.

    Modify a destination

The Jobsite destination is the Ship To address defined for each production control job in the Production Control Job Edit dialog box.

    1. Click the destination that you want to move to an earlier or later position on the shipping route.
