Merging Pool Shipments

[Christopher Collins]

I am attempting to merge the TL portion of our pool shipments. Here is the scenario:

Order 1 goes from point A to point C with pool location at point B.
Order 2 goes from point A to point D with pool location at point B.

Orders are scheduled in different BULK PLANs and there are each orders has two shipments:

Order 1 has Shipment 1 (point A to point B) and Shipment 2 (point B to point C)
Order 2 has Shipment 3 (point A to point B) and Shipment 4 (point B to point D)

We are attempting to merge Shipment 1 and Shipment 3. When we do this, we receive the following error:

Unable to get last stop number, tShipment is null

Anyone have any experience with this error or this functionality?

Thanks,

Re: Merging Pool Shipments

Chris:

Are the Buy Assigned Itineraries on Shipment 1 and Shipment 3 the same?

OTM will not combine Shipments that use different itineraries.

Re: Merging Pool Shipments

Yes, both shipments are using the same itinerary.

Thanks,

Re: Merging Pool Shipments

Hi,

Please check whether the equipment size is capable of handling shipment1 and shipment3 together.

Re: Merging Pool Shipments

Yes, configuration is applicable for the shipments being merged.

Thanks

Re: Merging Pool Shipments

Chris,

Simple suggestion would be since your orders are starting from A and reaching pool B and from B to C & D, make your pool location B as a deconsolidation hub.

Create a region containing the 2 destination locations C,D the pool location B and create an itinerary with geo-hierarchies location to region and try.

Make sure that you have Auto-Consolidation type as "MULTISTOP INTO ONE EQUIP" when you are defining the itinerary leg.

Didn't notice Orders are scheduled in different BULK PLANs. Sorry abt that...

Is the start time for both the shipments are same?
