Configure Delivery Trip Processes

To properly manage your delivery trip processes, you need to configure the records that define the company's delivery trip activities.

First, you set up your locations to utilize delivery trips. You also configure other rules and settings that will determine how delivery trips are processed within the location.

If deliveries are made according to standard itineraries, you can set these up as delivery routes, then assign these routes to sources such as customers or ship-to addresses. This will allow the program to create delivery trips for outbound documents that share the same delivery route.

The following table describes a sequence of tasks, with links to the topics that describe them. These tasks are listed in the order in which they are generally performed.
