Re: xDock and De-consolidation pool in 1 itinerary

Hi Anirban
Just wondering if you got the answer for this scenario of yours from anyone or were you able to find a solution for this? We have similar scenario facing issue.

Awaiting for the reply.

Thanks,

Hi Friends,
I am trying the following scenario:
Locations: A,B,C,D,E
2 Order releases created: A->C and A->E
I expect the following result:
Shipment#1: A->B->D (Its a multistop shipment. At A pickup for both ORs A->C and A->E. At B drop for the A->C OR)
Shipment#2: B->C (2nd leg of OR A->C)
Shipment#3: D->E (Last leg of the OR A->E)

I have done the following:
Location B: De-conslidation pool
Location D: Cross Dock
In the itinerary Source: A, Destination: Region (B,D,E,C). Created the itinerary as a multistop de-consolidation itinerary. In the leg gave the cross dock id as D.
Rate records present for all legs.

When i try doing a bulk plan, i get the following result:
Shipment#1: A->B (consolidates both ORs first leg)
Shipment#2: B->C
Shipment#3: B->D
Shipment#4: D->E
My question is this: Is there a way i can get the desired results? Am i doing this correctly or is there another way of dong this? Can i get the shipments 1 and 2 to do a multistop?
Please help me out here. Thanks.

Regards,
Anirban Roy
