[SOLVED] Shipment always 1 leg short of Itinerary

[engyeowkee]

Hi all,

I just ran into an issue whereby my shipment is always 1 leg shy of my itinerary. For eg. I have defined 4 legs(4 Leg ID's) in my itinerary, by right I should have 5 legs in my shipment because the 5th leg is 4th leg location -> final destination.

Itinerary is setup as Origin->Center->Hub1->Hub2->Hub3->Destination
Shipment plan is showing Origin->Center->Hub1->Hub2->Destination

By the way I'm on 5.5 CU3, not sure if this is a bug or I'm missing something in my setup. Any idea? Thanks!

Re: Shipment always 1 leg short of Itinerary

Kee,

As a rule of thumb, the number of shipments that will get produced is the same as the number of legs that you have defined on your itinerary (at least where you are not using the cross dock functionality).

In your example, if you want to create 5 shipments, then you should set up the itinerary as below:

Leg 1: Origin - Center
Leg 2: Center - Hub1
Leg 3: Hub1 - Hub2
Leg 4: Hub2 - Hub3
Leg 5: Hub3 - Destination

The source of leg 1 and the destination of leg 5 do not need to be defined at the leg level because that is taken from the lane that is defined on the itinerary.

Hi

please try to create order movements to see if the itin works as designed

it might possible that you setup like

NYC PHL WASH USA

where USA is the dest country of the itin. And then it depends on you rate records and the associated x lanes. But this is a guess only

Thanks guy! I figure I just have to define the fifth leg with no location in it.
