Applying or Changing a Transport Network on an Existing Order
A transport network can be applied to or changed on an existing order without recreating the order. When applied, the system evaluates the transport network against the order's collection and delivery addresses, diffs the result against the existing stop structure, and inserts only the missing depot and hub stops. Planning groups are automatically assigned to each newly inserted leg, and lead times configured on the transport network are applied to the whole order.
Prerequisites
All affected order legs must be in To plan status before a transport network can be applied or changed.
How to Apply a Transport Network to an Existing Order
NAVIGATE to the order detail page in Qargo TMS.
LOCATE the Transport network field in the General info section of the order.
CLICK the edit icon next to the Transport network field to edit it inline, or SELECT Edit order to access the field via the full edit form.
SELECT the desired transport network from the dropdown.
SAVE the order.
The system inserts any missing depot and hub stops, assigns planning groups to each leg, and applies the configured lead times to the whole order. If the transport network cannot be applied, an error message is displayed explaining the specific reason.
Limitations
A transport network can only be applied when all affected legs are in To plan status. If any leg is dispatched, in progress, or the stop structure prevents a clean evaluation, the order save is blocked with an explanation.
Applying a new transport network fully replaces the existing one on the order.
Only single consignment orders are supported in this release.
The depot locations currently on the order must also exist on the newly applied transport network.
There is no history of previously applied transport networks; only the most recently applied transport network is stored on the order.
Consignment execution data is overwritten when the new transport network is applied.
If the transport network has already been dispatched, or was imported from an external transport network, it cannot be changed.
