You can create rules that run when a parcel is dispatched and automatically (according to the parameters you set) assign the resulting task to a CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. (or more precisely: vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).).
If the checkbox "Pick up the parcel after assignment" is checked, it will not only assign the vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.). (which will pick up the parcel from the sender) but also "pick up" it instead of the CourierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient.. In the latter case, after the rule has run, the task will appear in the courierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient. application under deliverable shipmentSend to An identifier that groups together packages sent from a Sender to a Recipient by a Customer at the same time. In practice, this is understood to mean the entire shipment, even if it consists of several Packing Units.s, not under pick-up parcels.
An unlimited number and composition of rules can be created. Rules set to "Inactive" are skipped. Rules can be cloned to create similar rules more quickly.
The counter column shows how many times the rule has been run so far. If the number stays at 0 for a long time, you should review the rule because for some reason it doesn't fit any ShipmentSend to An identifier that groups together packages sent from a Sender to a Recipient by a Customer at the same time. In practice, this is understood to mean the entire shipmentSend to An identifier that groups together packages sent from a Sender to a Recipient by a Customer at the same time. In practice, this is understood to mean the entire shipment, even if it consists of several Packing Units., even if it consists of several Packing Units.s (it might need to be dragged up).
The rules are executed in order from top to bottom. If a rule matches ("catches") a package, the assignment is made and no further rules are executed. More complex rules should be placed at the beginning of the list, simpler rules at the end.
Automatic rule execution can be turned off. In this case, the rules will not be run automatically, but you can run them manually (only all at once).
You can also delegate a shipmentSend to An identifier that groups together packages sent from a Sender to a Recipient by a Customer at the same time. In practice, this is understood to mean the entire shipment, even if it consists of several Packing Units. to a vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.). or a group of vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).s (e.g. if you want to distribute tasks fairly between courierThe person who delivers and delivers parcels to the recipient.s). If you have created a rule that delegates a task to a group of vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).s instead of a vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.)., the distribution between the members of the group will be based on the following algorithm:
- When a dispatch is delegated, the system will queue the number of tasks on the members of the group and assign it to the vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.). with the least number of tasks.
- If two (or more) vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).s have the same number of tasks (e.g. 0), it randomly assigns the task to one of the vehicleVehicles are the means of transport used by Couriers to make deliveries (bicycle, car, truck, etc.).s.
