Hi

As i mentioned it is for additional infomation only

Similarly you can see there are two transportation lead times defined in route

One in no of days which is actually taken by the system

One in hrs and mins which is also for information purpose only

In real time implementations the ones, in which the no of days is mentioned only ,is taken by the system for calculating delivery schedule

The others are left blank

Hi

In addition to what Raja singh has suggested *Travel time is mainly for information purpose only*

In most of the routes that filed is left blank

The system takes only the transit time for delivery scheduling

Transit time is calculated in days

Travel time is calculated in hrs and mins

Regards

Raja

Hi Shiva,

In Routes and Stages Details and in Scheduling U can maintain the transit tim, travel duration,transportation lead time in calender days.

Transit duration in calendar days

Number of calendar days (with 2 decimal places) required for delivering an item from your company to the customer via a certain route.

The maximum value range that is supported amounts to 9999 days.

If the factory calendar of the forwarding agent has not been maintained, the factory calendar of the shipping point is used for delivery and transportation scheduling.

Use

The system uses the transit time from delivery scheduling as well as other time estimates (for example, the loading time) to determine the dates by which the goods must be available for picking, packing, and loading.

Travel time is actual travel time for route.
