Define Standard Transportation Route
Explanation
This activity is used to define transportation routes. A transportation route is
used when changing locations for serials that are not connected to a structure.
Both template routes and new routes can be used. A template route is normally
used when the same route is used for several serials.
Prerequisites
- A location code must exist. For more information, refer the activity Define Location Code.
- The serial to be used on the transportation route cannot be connected to a
structure.
System Effects
- The template route can be copied or reused.
- Serials can be moved to another location using the transportation route.
