[Dispatch]AutoRecalcTimes

Applies to

TMWSuite: 2009_08.0541, TMW Operations

Description

This setting determines whether the system will automatically calculate or recalculate travel times and adjust the dates/times for stops accordingly. This setting affects stops changed in:

In TMWSuite
- Trip Folder
- The Sequence Stops on Movement window
- The Planning Worksheet’s Consolidation Queue window or its Consolidate Segments command in the Dispatch menu
In TMW Operations
- Trip Folder
- Consolidation Manager
- Trip Planner
- Load Builder

Options for TMWSuite

N (default)
This method of calculating travel time is not used in Dispatch.

Note: When this option is set, you can use the Times button in the Sequence Stops on Movement window to recalculate a trip’s arrival and departure times, if you have the following INI options set in your TTS50.ini file:
- [Dispatch]ConsolidationSequence=1
- [Operations]MileageDateTime=YES
- [MileageInterface]DefaultMPH=45 (or any value greater than 0)
Y
The system will update arrival/departure times automatically using the travel times stored in the mileage database.

Note: The system keeps the same time span between the stop’s arrival and its departure. For example, if the departure from a stop was scheduled for one hour after the arrival, there would still be a one-hour time span between the arrival and the departure after the system updated the travel times.
M
When a stop’s arrival or departure date/time is modified, automatically adjust all subsequent arrival and departure times by the same amount of time.

For instance, if a stop’s arrival time is changed by one hour, all subsequent arrival and departure times will also be adjusted by one hour.

Notes:
1. When this option is used, arrival and departure times will not be updated when a change is made to the stop’s location.
2. When this option is used, and you combine orders onto a consolidated trip, you must manually adjust the trip’s arrival and departure times.
S
The system will recalculate the times for subsequent stops only when a change makes it impossible for the tractor to arrive at the next stop on time.

When a change is made, the system will follow these steps:
1. If the date/time in the Arrival field is changed to a later date/time, the system adjusts the date/time in the Departure field by the same amount.
  
  For example, if one hour is added to the arrival time, the system will also add one hour to the departure time.
  
  If the arrival is changed to an earlier time, the departure time is not affected.
2. The system uses the travel times stored in the mileage database to determine whether the tractor can travel from the stop where the change occurred to the next stop before the time recorded in that stop’s Arrival field.
  - If the tractor can travel to the next stop before the time recorded in that stop’s Arrival field, no further time adjustments are made. For example, the departure from stop A is scheduled for 8:00, the arrival at stop B is scheduled for 11:00, and the travel time between these two stops is two hours. If the tractor was delayed at stop A for 30 minutes and departed at 8:30, it would arrive at stop B at 10:30. Since this is before the scheduled arrival time of 11:00, the system would not recalculate any dates/times.
  - If the tractor cannot travel to the next stop before the time recorded in that stop’s Arrival field, the system will recalculate the travel time to that stop and update the Arrival and Departure fields accordingly. If additional stops exist, the system will use the same logic to check if the times for those stops need to be updated.

Option for TMW Operations

N (default)
This method of calculating travel time is not used in Dispatch.
Y
The system will update arrival/departure times automatically using the travel times stored in the mileage database.

Notes:
1. The system keeps the same time span between the stop’s arrival and its departure. For example, if the departure from a stop was scheduled for one hour after the arrival, there would still be a one-hour time span between the arrival and the departure after the system updated the travel times.
2. By default, the system supports only the N and Y options. Any other entry is treated the same as N.

Additional Notes

This setting is applicable only in Trip Folder, Planning Worksheet, Trip Planner, and Load Builder.
To use Load Builder, this setting must be Y.
If you use this setting to automatically recalculate travel time, in your TTS50 you should have:
- [Dispatch]AutoSetCmpStopArrivalDate=N
- [DateTimeChecks]AutoSetDeparture=NO
When the Y or S option is used:
- Changing the location of any stop other than the first stop in Trip Folder will cause the system to recalculate the arrival and departure times for that stop and for any subsequent stops. However, changing the location for the first stop will not result in the recalculation of dates and times.
- Time calculations in TMWSuite’s Sequence Stops on Movement window will be affected.
- Dates/times on consolidated trips created using TMWSuite’s Planning Worksheet Consolidation Queue window or its Consolidate Segments command from the Dispatch menu will be affected.

[Dispatch]AutoSetCmpStopArrivalDate

Applies to

TMWSuite: V.2003 and later, TMW Operations

Description

When you change the Arrival date/time for the first in a series of identical events occurring at the same location, this setting determines whether the Arrival date/time field for subsequent events will be updated automatically.

Options

N (default)
The Arrival date/time of subsequent events will not change automatically.
Y
- In TMWSuite
  The arrival date/time of subsequent events will change automatically. The time displayed in the Arrival date/time field for each event in the series will be set to one minute after the Arrival date/time of the preceding event.
  
  Note: If you use the [Dispatch]AutoSetCmpStopArrivalDate=Y setting to automatically change arrival times, you should have [Dispatch]AutoRecalcTimes=N.
  
  If both AutoSetCmpStopArrivalDate=Y and AutoRecalcTimes=Y in your TTS50, the system may not calculate subsequent arrival times properly.
In TMW Operations
The arrival date/time of subsequent events will change automatically. The time displayed in the Arrival date/time field for each event in the series will be set to exactly the same time. However, if you adjust the time of an event that is not in the series and that occurs after the series, the systems will set the times in the series to be one minute apart.

Note: You must set [Dispatch]AutoRecalcTimes=Y in your TTS50.

Additional Notes

All of the following conditions must be met for the date/time to be updated:

The company ID for each event must be the same, and cannot be UNKNOWN.
The event types must be identical.
The events must be on successive lines in the Stop Detail grid.

[Dispatch]BlockEditLevelAfterStl

Applies to

TMWSuite, TMW Operations

Description

This setting allows you to prevent changes to a trip after its pay has been processed in Settlements.

Options

LEG (default)
Prevent changes to a trip segment after pay for an asset on that segment has been processed. With this setting, you can make updates to subsequent trip segments if the trip has been split.

Note: This option does not prevent changes to fields on the order header (i.e. BillTo company, Revenue Types, etc.).
MOV
Prevent changes to a movement after pay for an asset on that movement has been processed. With this setting, you can make limited updates to subsequent trip segments if the trip has been split. You can start or complete subsequent trip segments, but you cannot add or delete stops, or change locations for existing stops.
NON
Allow free edit of the movement, even if pay for an asset assigned to the trip has been processed.

Additional Notes

If your company never splits trips, MOV is recommended.
If your company splits trips and does not pay based on a percent of revenue, use the LEG option to block dispatchers from changing trip segments, rather than blocking them from making changes to the entire move.
If your company splits trips and bases pay on a percent of revenue, MOV is recommended. This is because adding, deleting stops, or changing the location for an existing stop will affect the number of miles traveled for each trip segment. For split trips, the system uses the number of miles traveled on a trip segment to determine the appropriate revenue amount on which to base the driver’s pay.

For example, a move consists of a total of 100 miles, and the billed line haul amount is $200. The move is split between Driver A and Driver B, both of whom get a percent of revenue. Driver A drives 30 miles and Driver B drives the remaining 70 miles. Driver A is entitled to 30% ($60) of the total revenue amount, while Driver B is entitled to 70% ($140).

Editing Driver B’s trip segment after Driver A has been paid affects revenue allocation; as a result Driver A’s pay is no longer accurate.

- How editing the Driver 1 field affects the Tractor field:
  - When you enter a primary driver, the Tractor field is always updated to the value recorded in that driver’s profile.
  - If you remove the primary driver, the tractor is always removed.
- How editing the Tractor field affects the Driver 1 and Driver 2 fields:
  - If a primary driver is currently assigned
    Editing the Tractor field does not affect the Driver 1 and Driver 2 fields.
  - If a primary driver is not currently assigned
    Recording a tractor in the Tractor field causes the system to set the Driver 1 and Driver 2 fields to the values recorded in that tractor’s profile.
TMW Operations:
- Editing the Driver 1 field always affects the Tractor field.
  - When you enter a primary driver, the Tractor field is updated to the value recorded in that driver’s profile.

[FuelDispatch]DefaultLoadUnloadDwellTimeMinutes

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch, TMW Operations

Description

For a shipper, dwell time is the amount of time a driver needs to load cargo. For a consignee, dwell time is the amount of time a driver needs to unload.

Fuel Dispatch
You can record a company’s dwell time on the Company Profiles - Relations window. Use this setting to set a default dwell time for shippers and consignees for which dwell time has not been recorded.

When a company without a dwell time is used as a stop on an order, the system checks the number of minutes recorded for the setting. To auto-calculate the stop’s Departure time, it adds that number to the stop’s Arrival time.
TMW Operations
Use this setting to record a global dwell time for all shippers and consignees. There is no way to set dwell times on a company-by-company basis.

When recording an Arrival time on an order, the system checks the number of minutes recorded for the setting. Then it auto-calculates the stop’s Departure time, by adding that number to the stop’s Arrival time.

Options

30 (default)
Default dwell time is 30 minutes.
User-defined number of minutes
Make your entry as a whole number.

Notes:
1. In Fuel Dispatch, if you make an entry of 0 (zero) for this setting, and dwell time has not been entered for a company, the system makes the stop’s departure time identical to the arrival time.
2. In TMW Operations, if you make an entry of 0 (zero) for this setting, the system will check [Operations]DefaultLoadTime in your TTS50 for the dwell time. If both are set to 0 (zero), then the system will set the arrival date/time and departure date/time to be the same.

Additional Notes

To determine total dwell time for a stop in Fuel Dispatch, the system also adds the dwell time for the trailer, as recorded in its trailer profile.

Note: This occurs only if you have [FuelDispatch]UseTrailerDwellTime=Y in your TTS50.

This daily shift schedule is based off the driver’s default template, which includes shift start and end times. However, an individual driver’s start and end times can be different from those established in the shift template.

This setting allows you to identify whether you want the start and end times for the automatically generated shift schedule to be those of the default schedule template, or those saved for the individual driver.

Options

N (default)
Auto-generated driver shift schedules will use the template start and end times from the shift template.

This setting determines whether the system will check the transaction date on fuel purchase records against the date of the expiration that retired the tractor associated with the fuel purchase. If the transaction date is the same as, or later than the retirement date, the system will ignore the fuel purchase record.

Options

Yes (default)
The system will not check the fuel purchase transaction date against the tractor’s retirement date.
No
The system will check the fuel purchase transaction date against the tractor’s retirement date. If the transaction date is the same as, or later than the retirement date, the fuel purchase record will display on the Errors tab of the Fuel Purchase/Advance Import window in the Advances/Fuel Purchases Import interface.

[FuelServ]IgnoreTractor

Applies to

TMWSuite

Description

This setting tells the system to ignore validation errors related to tractors.

Options

No
Indicates the system should not ignore validation errors for tractors.

Note: The system will perform four checks to validate the tractor ID provided by the vendor’s file. It will stop searching once it finds the tractor ID. The checks are done in the following order:
1. Verifies that the tractor ID supplied by the vendor’s file exists in the TMWSuite database. It will not verify that the tractor was assigned to a trip at the time of the transaction date.
2. Looks at the fuel card assignment to get the tractor ID. If no tractor is recorded on the card, the tractor provided in the vendor’s file will be determined to be invalid.
3. Checks the value of the TractorFromTrip= setting.
  - If the setting has a value of Yes, it will look for the tractor assigned to the driver at the time of the transaction date. The driver ID must be valid.
  - If the setting has a value of No, no further checking will be done.
4. If the tractor cannot be determined from the first three checks, the system will determine that the tractor ID provided by the vendor’s file is invalid. The record will display on the Errors tab.

[FuelServ]IgnoreTrips

Applies to

TMWSuite: 2003.02_11.0158 and later

Description

When fuel and advances are processed in the Fuel Purchase/Advance Import window, the system creates pay details for transactions. Transactions are linked with trips. This setting determines whether the system verifies the validity of a transaction’s trip number.

Options

Yes (default)
Set every trip number to 0 (zero); do not check for the existence of a trip.

Note: Pay details with no trip number are automatically marked as Released. They show only in the Final Settlements folder.
No
Make sure every trip is valid; look up a trip for entries with no trip supplied.

Notes:
1. The system will perform three checks to find the trip. It will stop searching once it finds one. If no valid trip is found, the trip number provided by the vendor will be cleared to eliminate the misconception that the trip number from the vendor is valid. The record will display on the Errors tab.
  
  The checks are done in the following order:
  1. Looks for a trip based on the driver, tractor, and trip number provided in the vendor’s file. It will look for either an order number or a move number that matches the trip number from the vendor.
  2. Looks for a trip that has either the driver or the tractor assigned to it and that has a start date that is earlier than the transaction date and an end date that is later than the transaction date. The trip must have a status of Started or Completed.
  3. Looks for the trip with the earliest start date that has either the driver or the tractor assigned to it and that has an end date after the transaction date. The trip must have a status of Started or Completed.
2. Pay details with a valid trip number show in the Trip Settlement folder.
Invalid
Use trip numbers that are supplied and valid; do not try to find a trip when one is not supplied.
Reset
Do not use the trip data supplied by the fuel vendor file. Perform the following check sequence to find the trip:
1. Look for a Started or Completed trip that has a begin date prior to the fuel purchase and an end date after the fuel purchase.
2. If none is found, look for the first Started or Completed trip that is assigned to the asset after the transaction date.
3. If none is found, look for the next Started or Completed empty move on which the asset is assigned.

Assign Driver/Equipment window in Order Entry

The indicator lights are named Hold (P1) and Warn/Note (P2)
This setting is not applicable in the Dispatch application’s Dispatch Advantage module. Dispatch Advantage’sTrip Assignment grid does not display P1 or P2 indicators. Before version 2010.09_08.0575, Dispatch Advantage was a standalone, separately licensed application. Starting with version 2010.09_08.0575, Dispatch Advantage became part of the Dispatch application, and is accessible from the Planning Worksheet.

Note: In situations where resource(s) have multiple expirations, the color of the indicators reflects the condition that is most serious. For example, if a tractor has a yellow Priority 1 and a red Priority 1, the indicator displays red.

In Fuel Dispatch, the P1 and P2 indicators display in the:

Planning Worksheet

The P1 and P2 indicators are shown in the Resource pane. They apply only to driver expirations. Indicators do not reflect the status of tractor or trailer expirations.

By default, the indicators are controlled by the ExpDate= setting. If the DrvExpDate= setting in the [Misc] section has a value, that is, it is not left blank, it will control the changing of P1 and P2 indicator colors.

The Driver, Tractor, Trailer, and Carrier tabs in the Trips/Resources pane do not display P1 and P2 indicators.
Card Planner

The P1 and P2 indicators are shown in the Shift pane. They apply only to driver expirations. Indicators do not reflect the status of tractor or trailer expirations.

By default, the indicators are controlled by the ExpDate= setting. If the DrvExpDate= setting in the [Misc] section has a value, that is, it is not left blank, it will control the changing of P1 and P2 indicator colors.

The Driver, Tractor, Trailer, and Carrier tabs in the Trips/Resources pane do not display P1 and P2 indicators.

The Priority 1 and Priority 2 warning indicators will turn from green to yellow 14 days before an expiration’s start date.

[Misc]ForceOrderStatusWhenCreditCheckFails

Applies to

TMWSuite, CRM Right, TMW Operations

Description

This setting applies when the credit checking feature is active. Depending on your system setup, when a Bill To company fails a credit check, the system will:

Not allow the order to be saved
Allow the order to be saved
Warn that the Bill To failed the credit check but allow the order to be saved
Require a password before saving the order.

This setting provides an additional way to handle saving an order when the Bill To fails a credit check. You can have the order saved with a non-dispatchable status. Once the Bill To company no longer fails the credit check, the order can be saved with a dispatchable status.

Options

Blank, that is, no entry (default)
The system will apply credit checking functionality, according to your entries for these settings in the [Misc] section:
- CreditCheckOn
- WhenNoCreditHistory
- AllowBkgIfCreditFails
Orders will not be saved with a non-dispatchable status.
User-defined status

Enter the Abbr field value for the non-dispatchable status.

Notes:
1. You must set up the non-dispatchable option in the DispStatus label before making your entry. When you set up the status option, you must:
  - Enter a numeric value of 200 or less in the Code field.
  - Select the Exclude from CreditCheck Total check box.
2. Your system may be set up to allow an order to be saved even when the Bill To company fails the credit check. This functionality is controlled by the [Misc]AllowBkgIfCreditFails and [Misc]WhenNoCreditHistory settings. When orders over a Bill To’s credit limit can be saved, the system will assign the non-dispatchable status to the order.

Additional Notes

In TMWSuite, credit checking is supported in Order Entry, the Dispatch Trip Folder, and in the Project Dispatch and Agent Order Entry add-on modules.
To activate credit checking, you must have [Misc]CreditCheckOn=Y in your TTS50.
Before TMWSuite V.2012.11_07.1008, the system performed an additional credit check each time you saved an existing order. Starting with V.2012.11_07.1008, the system performs an additional credit check only when you make changes to the line haul or accessorial charges on an order.
In TMW Operations, credit checking is supported only in Order Maintenance.

[Misc]GlobalLogon

Applies to

TMWSuite, CRM Right, Fuel Dispatch, TMW Operations, TMW Back Office

Description

This setting activates the global logon feature.

Options

Yes (default)
Store the current user ID and password and apply it for each TMW application accessed by the user today or until he/she selects the Exit and Sign Off command from the File menu to close an application.

Notes:
1. This option requires entry of an ID and password only once a day. Entry is needed the first time the user accesses a TMW application. When subsequent access to an application is needed, the system bypasses the logon screen and immediately opens the application. The user may re-access the same application, or access different applications, during the same day without having to log on each time.
2. CRM Right does not have an Exit and Sign Off command.
  - If users have accessed the application from within TMW Operations, they must use the File > Exit and Sign Off command in TMW Operations.
  - When used as a standalone product, CRM Right does not allow users to exit and sign off. Once a user accesses CRM Right, the system will bypass the logon screen until the stored user ID and password expire at the end of the day.
No
Require the user to log on every time an application is started.

Additional Notes

TMW eManifest does not support this setting.

[Misc]Graceperiod

Applies to

TMWSuite: V.2003 and later; Fuel Dispatch; TMW Operations

Description

Grace period refers to the number of days the system is to continue showing inactive companies and carriers; and terminated tractors, trailers, and drivers in drop-down lists. This setting specifies the number of days allowed. It affects:

Drop-down lists in Order Entry, Dispatch, Invoicing, and Settlements.
The GRACE setting in the General Info Table.

You can override the grace period temporarily. You do this by selecting the Show Retired Items check box in the Set List Box Properties window. To access the window, go to Tools > Set List Box Property in any core TMWSuite application. The check box is cleared by default.

When the Show Retired Items check box is cleared:

This setting in your TTS50 determines the number of days allowed.
The General Info Table GRACE setting:
- Has String1 set to GracePeriod. This indicates that the system uses this setting.
- The number in the Int1 field matches the number of days specified by this setting.

When the Show Retired Items check box is selected:

This setting is not used.
The General Info Table GRACE setting values are updated automatically.
- String1 is set to Apocalypse. Users in any base application can select IDs of inactive companies and carriers, and terminated drivers, tractors, and trailers in fields that use a drop-down list.
- The Int1 field is set to 999. This is the number of days allowed.

Selecting the Show Retired Items check box does not change this setting’s values in your TTS50. The original entry is retained. Clearing the check box resets the grace period. The system reads the entry for this setting and writes that entry in the Int1 field of the GRACE General Info Table setting.

This setting does not control the ability to look up retired companies or resources in the scroll windows. Resource (driver, tractor, trailer, and carrier) scroll windows let you include retired resources on a search-by-search basis. When using the company scroll window, clearing the Active check box will retrieve retired companies.

Options

90 (default)
Inactive companies and carriers, and terminated resources show in drop-down lists for 90 days.
User-specified number of days
Inactive companies and carriers, and terminated resources show in drop-down lists for the number of days you enter.

Additonal Notes

If the General Info Table GRACE setting has GracePeriod in String1, TMW Operations will only use the [Misc]GracePeriod TTS50 values.
It’s recommended that the [Misc]GracePeriod TTS50 setting value and the GRACE General Info Table values be kept in sync for TMWSuite.

Notes:
1. This setting does not apply to the Bk’d Between fields on the Find Orders window’s Reference tab. However, using those fields does not cause the system to ignore the date range on the Company or Asset tabs.

Applies to

TMWSuite Add-ins, CRM Right, Fuel Dispatch, Inventory Services, TMW Back Office, TMW eManifest, TMW Operations

[Operations]DefaultLocationCompanyHours

Applies to

TMWSuite, TMW Operations 15.10.073

Description

This setting determines whether the system uses a company’s hours of operation to schedule the window in which a stop will occur. This setting applies to new orders only.

In TMWSuite, you record a company’s open/close times in the Hours of Operation - Daily Work Schedule window. You access this window from the company’s profile.

In Order Entry:
When you enter a date in the Earliest Pickup field for the shipper, the system pulls the shipper’s hours of operation. It uses the opening time as the earliest pickup time. It uses the closing time as the latest pickup time. Similar logic is applied to the earliest/latest times for the drop.

Notes:
1. To use this feature, you must make entries in the order header’s Pickup and Drop fields. This feature does not work with dates entered in the Stop Detail section of the window.
2. Only the first date change in a new order’s Pickup and the Drop fields makes the feature work. If you change the company, the system does not use the opening and closing hours for the new company.
In Trip Folder:
When you enter a date in the Earliest or Arrival pickup field for the shipper, the system pulls the shipper’s hours of operation. It uses the opening time as the earliest pickup or arrival time. It uses the closing time as the latest pickup or departure time. Similar logic is applied to the earliest/latest or arrival/departure times for the drop.

Notes:
1. In the Stop Detail section, you can enter dates in the Earliest and Latest fields or the Arrival and Departure fields. In the Freight Detail section, you can use the Earliest and Latest fields. This feature does not work with entries made in other fields.
2. Only the first date change in a valid field on a new order makes the feature work. If you change the company, the system does not use opening and closing hours for the new company.

In TMW Operations, you record a company’s hours on the Stop Info/Routing tab in the Company Profile window.

You use this feature in:

Order Maintenance, on the Summary and AllStops tabs
Trip Folder, on the Stops tab

When you record a date in the Earliest Date or Arrival Date fields, the system pulls the company’s hours of operation. It uses the opening time as the earliest or arrival time, and the closing time as the latest or departure time. The system automatically populates all of the date fields (Earliest Date, Latest Date, Arrival Date, and Departure Date).

Note: Only the first date change in the date fields on a new order make this feature work. If you change the company first, the system will not pull the opening and closing hours for the new company.

Options

N (default)
Do not use the company’s open/close times to populate the applicable time fields for the pickup at the shipper and the drop at the consignee.
Y
Use the company’s open/close times to populate the applicable time fields for the pickup at the shipper and the drop at the consignee.

Notes:
1. To use this option, you must have the following setting values in your TTS50.

Notes:

Revenue types are user-defined in the label file. A revenue type’s abbreviation is recorded in the Abbr field.
This setting is applicable in both Order Entry and Dispatch.

Options

Default
The system does not add a prefix to the order ID. It uses the default order numbering system, which assigns a sequential numeric value to each new order saved.
TERMINALPREFIX
The system appends a three-character prefix to the order ID the first time a new order is saved. The prefix is determined by the RevType1 option recorded in the order header. The system uses the first three characters from the option’s Abbr column entry in the RevType1 label as the prefix. The numeric part of the order ID consists of a five-digit, zero-filled sequential number. The system starts numbering orders as XXX00001.

Note: After 99,999, the first digit starts counting with letters, up to 1,000,000:
- 100,000 to 339,999 convert to A0000 to Z9999
- 340,000 to 915,999 convert to AA000 to ZZ999
- 916,000 to 1,000,000 converts to AAA00 to BMA00

The numeric part of the order ID consists of a six-digit, zero-filled sequential number. The system starts numbering orders as XXX000001.

Note: After 999,999, the first digit starts counting with letters, up to 10,000,000:
- 1000000 to 3399999 converts to A00000 to Z99999
- 3400000 to 9159999 converts to AA0000 to ZZ9999
- 9160000 to 10000000 converts to AAA0000 to BMA0000
TERMINALPREFIX7
The system appends a single-character prefix to the order ID the first time a new order is saved. The prefix is determined by the RevType1 option recorded in the order header. The system uses the first character from the option’s Abbr column entry in the RevType1 label as the prefix. The numeric part of the order ID consists of a seven-digit, zero-filled sequential number. The system starts numbering orders as X0000001.

Notes:
1. When using this option, it is suggested that the abbreviations for your RevType1 label options begin with different characters so they can be differentiated when looking up order IDs.
2. After 9,999,999, the first digit starts counting with letters, up to 100,000,000:
  - 10000000 to 339999 converts to A000000 to Z999999
  - 34000000 to 91599999 converts to AA00000 to ZZ99999
  - 91600000 to 100000000 converts to AAA0000 to BMA0000

The system appends a three-character prefix to the order ID the first time a new order is saved. The prefix is determined by the RevType1 option recorded in the order header. The system uses the first three characters from the option’s Abbr column entry in the RevType1 label as the prefix. The numeric part of the order ID consists of an eight-digit, zero-filled sequential number. The system starts numbering orders as XXX00000001.

Note: Number repeats after 999,999,999

Additional Notes

The following notes apply to the TERMINALPREFIX, TERMINALPREFIX6, TERMINALPREFIX7, and TERMINALPREFIX9 options only:

When you use these options, you must also have the [Order]UseAlphaOrdID=No setting in your TTS50.
