TO Shipment Splitter
The TO Shipment Splitter tool splits shipments that are currently too large to fit on a feasible asset. It creates new shipments with quantity/weight/volume equal to full asset load equivalents plus any leftover quantity/weight/volume. If a shipment is oversized for all feasible asset types, the tool identifies the asset with the least constraining unit of measure to create the shipments.
In the Shipments table:
- Oversized shipments have their Name values appended with “_OriginalOversized”. The Status of these shipments is set to Exclude.
- New shipments have name values appended with “_0”, “_1”, etc.
Additionally, the tool populates information in the Shipment Notes, identifying the original and split shipments.
