Create Routing Exceptions

Before you run an optimization, you must enter the exceptions and overrides that were generated by your stores. Route Optimization requires this information to optimize your routes.

NOTE
Make sure you comply with company rules when you review the routing exceptions that stores create.

Navigate to Route Optimization

Select Modules, and then select Route Optimization.
Select Configuration.
Select Store, and then select Stop Positions.

Identify the store

In the Store drop-down menu, enter the number of the store that you’re working with.
Select the store, and then click Save changes.

Add an override

Click Add override.

In the Add stop position override window, select the commodity type, the sequence type, and the validity range.
Select the commodity type from the list of options.

Commodity type	Description
DRY	Dry Goods
F	Frozen Goods
FDD	Frozen Dairy Deli
GM	General Merchandise
MK	Milk Run
MP	Meat Produce
MPDD	Meat Produce Dairy Deli

In Sequence type, click the down-arrow, and then select the sequence type.

NOTE When a stop position override expires, the MDM sequence reverts to that of the default commodity type.

Select the Start date and the End date. This is the validity range for the override.

NOTE
The validity range must not exceed seven days.

To save the exception information, click Add stop position.

Next, you can upload your store file.
