This process controls the data exchange between STORIS and your third-party routing software (route mapping interface), such as ArcLogistics®, RouteView®, and UPS Roadnet®. Run this routine for a single location at a time. The process collects all scheduled orders for the specified location, for the specified days that qualify for delivery/transfer. Upon completion, the data automatically downloads from STORIS to the mapping software.

This screen is not used for API route mapping services such as DispatchTrack; instead, the service directly acquires the information that would be provided here.

Click the Arrow button to specify the order type. The options available in this drop-down list are determined by the Active Types that have been selected for this location on the Inventory & Logistics tab in Warehouse/Store Location Settings. The possible options are:

Delivery
Service
Transfer

Enter the scheduled delivery date. The program adds all orders whose scheduled delivery date falls on the selected day. Note that only orders with scheduled dates are added to the manifest; orders with dates that are ASAP, Estimated, or Customer Will Call are not included.

Enter the route that is to be processed for the location selected. You can also click the Search button to access the route lookup window or click the Action button to access the Multiple Route Selection Window where you can select one, multiple or all routes.

When your third-party program uploads the routing information back into STORIS, you have the following options for printing ship tickets:

All - print ship tickets for all orders
New - print tickets from orders for which tickets have not yet been printed
Skip - bypass ticket printing for the current orders

Click Save to run the process.
The program checks for batches already in progress for the selected warehouse. If found, a prompt appears warning that routing is progress. You must answer OK or Abort.
If you click Abort the program returns to the pre-screen prompts.
To restart the process, click OK. Another prompt appears at which you answer Yes to generate a new routing file to be processed by the third-party interface or answer No to process what is already in the current routing file.
