You specified a maximum weight as a capacity criterion. In order to ensure that this criterion is met, all deliveries should besorted in descending order according to weight. This criterion is addedas the last sort criterion. This means that the sequence of thedeliveries, which you have already defined with different criteria,remains unchanged (for example, sorting according to ship-to party). When the system processes the capacity criteria, it considers thedeliveries of a shipment (according to their sequence). Each time adelivery exceeds the maximum weight of the shipment, the system omitsthis delivery and selects the next one. In this way, the system can fill the shipments satisfactorily but notoptimally! |
