Time Interval
The Time Intervals form is used for defining the number of delivery runs that can be scheduled during a given day. In most cases, a company has a limited number of delivery periods. The actual number may vary based on the distance between stops and number of stops for each delivery run on a given day.
To generalize, there are likely between 2 and 3 runs per day, per truck. The first run is often in the early morning and would be loaded the previous evening. After the truck returns from the early morning delivery, a second and possibly third run might follow, for example. A maximum of 8-characters per code is allowed. Time intervals appear and can be selected in Point of Sale when users indicate delivery on the Process (F12) form. They are also available and can be modified by the dispatcher in the Load Schedule area. Setup of one or more Time Intervals is required.
Press or select Process (F12) to save any changes. Choose Exit (F10) to close the window without saving changes. Use Cancel (F9) to clear any unsaved changes and reload the listing of saved time intervals.
