Manage default shipping routes

Shipping routes determine where each assembly needs to be shipped to. You can create, modify, and delete shipping routes that are available for all production control jobs in the Shipping Route Maintenance dialog box.

Shipping routes determine where each assembly needs to be shipped to. Shipping routes can be used to send items to multiple shipping destinations, including intermediate destinations, such as sending material to an external galvanizer. Items that are returned from one destination can then be shipped to another 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.
