Setting up number of orders capacity
To limit the maximum number of orders per driver, we first need to set up a new capacity constraint. To do this:
- Go to Administration→Vehicles→Capacities
- Enable a new capacity constraint by clicking on the checkbox
- Change the label to "Max orders"
- You can leave the unit blank or write in "Orders"
- Save changes
Next, set up the default values for vehicles.
- Go to Administration→Vehicles.
- Double-click on a vehicle to edit it
- In the Details tab, set the default value for the maximum number of orders in the Max orders field.
Before planning the orders, make sure all the orders have a value for “Max orders” set to 1. This can be set during import in the Load column you have chosen. In this example it is Load #3.
Alternatively, you can change this manually by editing the orders either individually, or in bulk.
The maximum number of orders per driver can be changed on a daily basis in the Planning Settings window that is displayed when you click on Plan Routes.
