Logistics Execution > Setup > Logistics Line Creation Policy
You can create policies that allow additional logistics order lines to be added when logistics orders are created from a source order.
This allows you to show where something may need to go beyond the origin and destination.
These policies are enacted when the system tries to create a logistics order for the chosen source order type.

Creation Policies
When a logistics order is going to be created, the system loops through enabled policies for the source order type.
The first matching policy, according to Edit Query criteria, creates logistics line(s) according to the start and end addresses on the logistics line policy.
Note
Only one policy can be utilized, even if multiple qualify.
If no policies match the source order edit query criteria, no additional logistics lines are created.
