Allocating from the Bulk Allocation screen
Table of Contents
Purpose
If your operation uses a large number of Delivery Runs, you may find the traditional way of allocating (going into each Delivery Run) time consuming and restrictive. It doesn't provide any way of seeing consignments outside of the current run you're allocating which can mean you miss valuable run combinations (mixing jobs from different runs to maximize efficiency).
Bulk Allocation addresses this by allowing you to simultaneously allocate multiple Delivery Runs by letting you search across all consignments due to go out on a certain day.
How to allocate in bulk
Customising the Bulk Allocation Screen
Optionally the bulk allocation screen can be customised to your liking. Namely, you can:
- Enable/Disable the Map View for Bulk Allocation
- Change the Interface between Simple/Advanced Mode
For details on how to do this, see the article: Customising the Bulk Allocation Screen
