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 that you created in the previous step.
Add load value to orders
Next set the load value for orders to 1.
You can do this in a few ways:
- Edit an individual order or in bulk
- Add the value upon import
Editing load value
You can change this manually by editing the orders either individually, or in bulk.
Importing load value
You can set this value during import in the load column you use for the order limit. In this example, the order limit uses Load #3.
Planning with order maximums
When you are ready to plan, go to "Plan and Optimize" and review your planning settings.
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".
