Route

Routes are used to divide the shipping and dispatching workday into logical segments. In some businesses, routes relate to time periods of the day (morning, afternoon and night). In other businesses, each truck route, carrier, or destination (airport) can be a route. Every sales order is associated with a route. Shipping papers and dispatching paperwork, including orders, labels, pick list warehouse release, bills of lading and other dispatching reports, can be printed within the route option.
