WH120 - Route Creation

Run this program to build a temporary route file.  Only companies that
deliver goods directly to customers use this program, and they must do so
before printing the pick list.  This program creates a temporary work file of
the routes to be picked, packed, shipped, and released.  The system assigns
each order line to the next available route.  It calculates the day of the
week for the expected ship date and finds the next available delivery day.

Once you've created a batch, you can do a Validate Request before submitting
it.  This form action will check each field to determine if the information
entered is valid for that field.  The Validate Request action prevents the
delay of error messages caused by invalid field entries.

After running this program, you can adjust routes and stops using the WH21
forms.  When the routes are acceptable, print the pick list and continue
normal processing.


You decide whether or not your company delivers by route during Lawson
Billing system setup.  In the Lawson Order Entry system, you can set up
delivery routes and decide which customers to deliver to on which day, and the
sequence in which the truck visits each customer.  For information on creating
routes, see the Order Entry Procedures Manual.
