A new home for the Coupa Supply Chain documentation

Starting with Supply Chain 42, our documentation will be located on Coupa Compass. The help here will continue to be accessible for the foreseeable future, but will no longer be updated. If you need a Compass user account, contact your company’s Designated Support Contact (DSC).

Mandatory routing sequence

Use the Mandatory Routing Sequence column in the Sites and Customers tables to fix locations as the first/last pickup or first/last delivery stop on a route. When a location is identified as "First Pickup", it will always be the first pickup stop on a route. Locations identified as "Last Delivery" must always be the last delivery stop on a route. The Mandatory Routing Sequence acts as a hard constraint; shipments must adhere to this rule or they will be unrouted. You can select one of the available values to control the sequence for the location:

First Pickup - This location will always be the first pickup stop on a route to which it is assigned.
Last Pickup - This location will always be the last pickup stop on a route to which it is assigned.
First Delivery - This location will always be the first delivery stop on a route to which it is assigned.
Last Delivery - This location will always be the last delivery stop on a route to which it is assigned.

The Mandatory Routing Sequence works with standard, interleaved and periodic optimization.
