Assignment of Vehicles to Route Executions

To each route execution that you have created in the system, you have to assign at least one vehicle that is used to execute the route.

In this topic, you will read about assigning a vehicle (and possibly assigning additional vehicles) to route executions.

Assigning the First Vehicle to Route Executions

You select the first vehicle that will be used to execute the route as follows:
  • To assign a vehicle to a particular route execution, you use the Route Document Details (FS304000) form. In the Summary area of this form, you select the route execution to which you want to assign the vehicle in the Route Nbr. box, and you click the Vehicle Selector button. You then select the vehicle in the Vehicle Selector dialog box, which opens.
    Note: Alternatively, you can select a vehicle by clicking the magnifier icon in the Vehicle box and selecting the driver in the Vehicle lookup table.
  • To assign vehicles to multiple route executions for a specific date range, you use the Route Document Worksheets (FS403900) form. On this form, for each route to which you want to assign a vehicle, you click the line with the needed route and click Assign Vehicle on the table toolbar. You then select the vehicle in the Vehicle Selector dialog box, which opens.
    Note: Alternatively, you can select a vehicle by clicking the magnifier icon in the Vehicle column and selecting the driver in the Vehicle lookup table.

In the Vehicle Selector dialog box, you select the first (and perhaps only) vehicle for the route of the document. This list contains all the vehicles that have not yet been assigned to any route on the day of the route execution. To select a particular vehicle, you click the line with the necessary vehicle in the table of the dialog box and click Select Vehicle.

Assigning Additional Vehicles to Routes

If additional vehicles are necessary to perform the route service, you can assign up to two additional vehicles as follows:
  • To assign additional vehicles to a particular route execution on the Route Document Details form (FS304000), you select the second vehicle in the Additional Vehicle 1 box and the third in the Additional Vehicle 2 box. You then save your changes by clicking Save on the form toolbar.
  • To assign additional vehicles to multiple route executions for a specific date range on the Route Document Worksheets (FS403900) form, for each needed route execution, you select the second vehicle in the Additional Vehicle 1 column and the third in the Additional Vehicle 2 column.
