Groups Orders

Post by IAH »

Hi Experts!

Recently we have this requirement from our customer: We have Lead Orders and Suborders that we can consider a group of orders for the same location, but that must be executed by different technicians at the same time.

Situation is for example, we must plan 2 Orders with opening intervals from Monday to Friday from 8:00 to 11:00 am and both must be planned at the same time to different technicians, so they work at the same time at the same location.

Only Idea from my side is to plan first the Lead orders, and later add the suborders to second iteration with the time when the lead order was planned (with fix time in opening intervals).

Is there any way to plan different orders to different technicians (till here the mixedLoadingProhibitions could work) but at the same time?

Thank you in advance!

Hello Ignacio,

you already gathered the proper, iteration based approach for this story:
  • Plan the lead order first
  • Use it's ouput time window for the dependent orders.
Unfortunately there's no matching feature in the xTour2 API that links two resources (drivers/vehicles) to the same order in the way you need it.
