Re: Continuous Moves Bulk Plan Error

Hi Melroy,

I hope following setups have been done correctly to simulate continuous move scenario:-

All CM related Planning Parameters
CM Accessorial cost - If "Shipment participation in Continuous Move tour" is equal to true, then -25$ per shipment
Rate Offering type TL; Fill details in "CM Rule Data" Tab
Rate record for normal lanes: rate cost and CM accessorial
Rate Record for dead head: If "Shipment participation in Continuous Move tour" is equal to false AND "Shipment total no. of orders" is equal to zero then, 40$ per shipment

Bulk plan give correct results only if all setups and configuration required for continuous move are correct.

Re: Continuous Moves Bulk Plan Error

Hi Nipun,

Thanks a lot for ur inputs. Ive checked n re-checked my setup.
This is what ive done:
1 Shipment participation in CM = false and ive set charges
2 Shipment participation in CM =1 or 2 and ive set charges accordingly
3 Rate offering CM rules et
4 Plannning paramter sets enabled for CM

Now the the catch is when i link shipments manually the CM builds fine showing an overall cost saving of $20.

But when I try and Bulk plan the same shipments i get that dreaded error java.lang.NullPointerException.

I guess if something was wrong with my setup, the manual step should have also failed. Im all lost.

Is there anything else I maybe missing?

Regards,
Melroy.

Re: Continuous Moves Bulk Plan Error

Are you giving any early/late pickup date in your order releases? If no, please give some values there and re-test your scenario using Bulk plan.

Re: Continuous Moves Bulk Plan Error

Hi,

When you link the shipments manually, you could have checked in 'Override Continuous move rules'. This will not apply the rules which you have defined in your rate offering and link the shipments with out any error.

But when you bulk plan, OTM checks your CM rules defined in rate offering and planning parameter.

Kindly check that if you have not done!

Re: Continuous Moves Bulk Plan Error

Hi

In reference to the previous reply to this thread, i would like to add my idea. There was a suggestion on providing pick up and delivery dates in the order prior to planning.

Provide pick up and dely time in such a way that the difference betweenm early / late delivery time of order O1 and early / late pick up time of order O2 is equal to the service time of dead haul.

I tried this way and i was able to achieve CM tour automatically.
I go with an assumption that you have defined CM rules in rate offering, rate records for each movement and enabled CM tour planning parameters.

Thanks and Regards
Pradeep
