Setting up Multi Mode Dispatch

Allows CrossDocking when unloading. This configuration setting does not apply to the ConnectedDock (handheld)program.

Allow a non-CSA driver to be assigned to a CSA order.

Note: If set to Warning a warning message will pop up, but users may ignore it.

Allow a non-FAST driver to be assigned to a FAST/C-TPAT order.

Note: If set to Warning a warning message will pop up, but users may ignore it.

Allows you to set whether straight truck style power units may be used with any other resources.

For example, perhaps a straight truck is used to haul an additional trailer.

(A straight truck is one in which all axles are attached to a single frame.)

Determines whether the system will set the freight to a status of 'Dock' after the last item is marked as 'Unloaded'.

Setting this option to 'False' means the freight is only 'Docked' if the 'Finish Unloading' status change happens. The stopping of the Auto Docking logic can be very useful when the items are being created while being unloaded.

Determines whether the Finish Loading Status Change window will automatically appear when all items attached to a trip are manually loaded in Multi Mode Dispatch to allow the user to continue without having to manually set the ‘Finish Loading’ status.

The Finish Loading Status Change window will automatically appear when all items attached to a trip are manually loaded in Multi Mode Dispatch.

A valid positive integer. Default is 7 (one week).

When a freight bill is split, the charges associated with the freight bill ('Sub Total', 'Discount' and 'Charges' columns) will also be split. The split bill logic will take into account the percentage value of the actual freight bill split and use that to split the charges.

For example: if splitting a 100 pound freight bill by weight into 75/25 pound split, 75% of the charges will be applied to the S1 bill and 25% of the charges will be applied to the S2 bill.

When the split bills are merged back into the locked parent bill, the charges will be merged as well.

Sets the freight bill Check List item that will be used to track a freight bill’s received status on the Barcode Item Details window.

If using this feature, the Check List item will show as incomplete until the user marks the freight bill as received from the Barcode Item Details window. When this is done, the Check List item will be updated to 'Complete' status, allowing further processing of the freight bill through dispatch.

If True, the freight bills can be unloaded or repositioned in the warehouse even if they have items on them (a freight bill level operation). If there is a bill that is repositioned in the warehouse (unloaded or moved), all associated items will be positioned at the new bill’s location. When displaying the freight bill information in the 'Delivery' or 'CrossDock' grid, and the bill has multiple items but all items are located in the same location, the system will display that location as the bill’s location. If on the other hand the items are located in different locations, the system will display 'Multi' as the location of the freight bill.

If False, freight bill level operations will not be allowed, instead, item level operations must be performed. In other words, you have to handle the items on each freight bill first before you can reposition or unload a freight bill as one unit.

Choose whether to keep the CrossDock tab selected terminal until the main program terminal changes.

If True, CrossDock terminal selection stays.

If False, CrossDock terminal selection resets on first refresh"

Keeps the trailer assigned to a door after unloading is finished.

The Ask option will prompt each time and allow the user to choose.

Note: This configuration option is ignored if the CROSSDOCK.EXE > Complete trip when finished unloading option set to False.

If set, matching of resources to a trip will be done in batches (of the given size) to increase DB2 commit frequency.

Set to 0 to match all resources in single batch.

Defines whether the system will use one leg per agent when assigning a booking number even if they are assigned to multiple modes.

Determines which time windows to display per freight bill in the Optimizer.

Specifies what notes types will generate a note warning icon in the pickup grid.

You can select multiple types.

Every time there is a note of a type selected in this option, a note warning icon will appear in the pickup grid. For example:

The available types include three User-Defined types (User 1, User 2 and User3) that can be used for additional types as they emerge in the future.

Show lane totals for the selected property in the Lane Tree.

Note: To be enabled the Show /Hide Lanes and Routes Options button also requires that the Terminal has been assigned an entry for Lane and Route in the Terminal Maintenance program.

When True, creating a new trip in the Planning and Doors tabs will prompt for a 'Destination Zone'. If the Planning tab is being used, the program will then open a filtered window for the 'Door #' (or Door Code). If no door numbers are configured for this route (in Load Plan options), all doors will display. If creating a new trip from the Doors tab, the selected door will be used (as always).

Similar logic for P&D trips when specifying the door, but use the LTL door options setup in the Terminal Setup program (the route will determine which door to use). If the trip is new (not dispatched yet), it will be considered an OUTBOUND door (for loading prior to departure). Once the trip has been activated, it is considered the INBOUND door (driver returns to the terminal to unload).

This option allows the user to define which freight bill status behaviors will be excluded from a SQL FB filter when run from Multi Mode Dispatch. This option allows the user to select all the freight bill status behaviors to be excluded from the SQL filter by selecting all the relevant checkboxes.

The default selection is: XCEO

There are two tabs available for the zone code lockup, 'Zone' and 'Client'. The zone tab allows the user to search zone codes using zones. The user can use the zone in the search filter to search for the desired zone code in the Zone Code lockup. Alternatively, the Client tab allows the user to do the search using the client in the search filter to search for the desired zone code.

This option sets one of these two tabs to be the default tab that will be active when users access the 'Zone Code Lookup'. The user can still select the other search tab while using the lookup regardless of which tab was set as the default.
