Minimum quantity

Hello everyone,

we use the function planBasicTours and we have several orders that we would like to distribute on different vehicles.

Is it possible that we can give a minimum quantity for the vehicle?

Example:
Each vehicle has a maximum capacity of 100 pieces and we would like one of these vehicles to have at least 80 pieces loaded in the result.
In the result we have to make sure that each vehicle is used to 80% of its capacity.

Thank you for the help.

Cheers,

unfortunately this is not possible: the quantities are restrictions but not really part of the target function.

:!: It is also impossible to define a minimum tour period, driving period or a minimum tour distance.

Sound like you need an iterative approach to ensure a proper utilization?
What would you expect to happen if you do not provide sufficient "workload"?

Thanks for the answer.
I already thought that this is not possible.

It is expected that the vehicle is always loaded to the maximum.
However, this is not possible if the vehicle has even a maximum driving time per day and the orders have a greater distance.
