Logistics Execution > Common > Activities > Activity Scheduling
The Activity Scheduling form is used for activity planning and coordination.
- Assign unique assets to fulfill each activity.
- Assign activities to workers.
Use the Scheduling options field to select how to add resources/activities.
After each assignment, you must validate the individual activity. Any changes to the activity's resources require another validation.
Note
Pair All
Click Pair All to pair the logistics order origin and destination to the activity.
All logistics orders lines, when paired, are inserted as activity lines.
A logistics order paired in this manner is removed from the Demand Pairing Table when it is completed.
Pair Origin
Click Pair Origin to pair only the logistics order origin.
The origin is inserted as an activity line. The activity destination remains unchanged.
A logistics order paired in this manner does not complete upon arriving at the destination so it remains in the Demand Pairing Table.
Pair Destination
Click Pair Destination to pair only the logistics order destination.
The destination is inserted as an activity line. The activity origin remains unchanged.
A logistics order paired in this manner completes when it arrives at the destination and is removed from the Demand Pairing Table.
Add to Activity
Click Add to Activity to pair a logistics order to an activity without pairing the destination or the origin.
At the time of pairing, neither the origin nor the destination are inserted as activity lines.
A logistics order paired in this manner does not complete upon arriving at the destination so it remains in the Demand Pairing Table.
Click Handling Unit Pair to select the handling units to pair from a table.
Click Preview Pair to view an unpaired logistics order's affect on multiple paired activities.
Important
This feature must be enabled on the Parameters form.
Enter a number in the Lead Days field to determine how far in advance preview pair functionality searches for comparable activities.
Example: If set to 5, any activities that have a start date within 5 days of the requested date/time of the logistics order/line are considered for preview.
The Activity Lines section displays, in order, the route for the activity.
You can adjust the route sequence, optimize the route, and merge/unmerge lines.
You can optimize routes two ways:
- With Scientific Logistics: If you have a Sci-Log integration, the system sends the route for optimization.
- Without Scientific Logistics: The system utilizes a traveling salesman algorithm to sequence your stops to achieve the least mileage across the activity.
Sustainability: Reduce Transportation
Optimize routes by sequencing stops to achieve the lowest total mileage.
See Sustainability with Supply Chain Cloud for more information.
Other Options
The Activity Scheduling form has Change mode of delivery functionality on the ribbon.
Click Change mode of delivery to open a flyout window that allows you to change warehouse-based demand on an activity to a different mode of delivery.
