This video shows two ways of splitting a consignment into parallel stages:
Planned before departure: a consignment's goods don't always have to travel as one block. Before the trucks even leave, they can split it into two parallel stages.
After arrival: Sometimes it's discovered on arrival that only a part of the goods can be unloaded, or collected in the first place. The rest becomes its own stage.
📚 There are a few important behavioural aspects you need to bear in mind:
Undoing a split: There's no "merge" action, so undoing a split means removing the leg and manually resetting the original leg's amounts. However, you will be asked for confirmation when removing a leg.
Replanning trips: Two parallel legs from the same consignment can never sit on the same trip. If you try it anyway, you’ll get an error message.
Order status: The consignment's status always follows its slowest leg. So if one leg is delivered and we complete the stop times of that order, but the other's still "To Plan" or “In transit”, the order won't show as complete yet.
