HI,

I am in doubt what is Route plans and Route guides are used for. As i run the transactions, i am getting the rates without route plans and route guides configured. But the only difference is i could not see more details in Routes.

So is the Route plans and Route guides are helpful only if we have multiple stops? or is there any specific logic with them? if it is a single stop can i continue without route plans and Route guides or will that impact me in any way?

Thanks,

Hi,

You can set up route plan and a route guides which can used for complex transportation processes.Use the Route plan form to set up a route plan,Transportation management > Setup > Routing > Route plan.Route plans contain route segments that provide information about the shipping carrier, carrier service, carrier group, origin and destination hubs, mode of transport, and other details pertaining to freight delivery.

Use the Routing guide form to set up a routing guide and select route plans for it,Transportation management > Setup > Routing > Route guides.
