Route by which the delivery item is to be delivered to the customer. You can use the route in a delivery to represent the following situations:
- One or more legs
- Connection between point of departure and destination point
- Target area
Use
You can predefine different standard routes in the system. These are dependent on:
- Where the delivery comes from
- Where the delivery is going to
- Under what conditions the delivery is to take place
You can use the route as a selection criteria for:

A country can be divided into different delivery areas:
- R1: North

Enter the corresponding route in the delivery. In transportation planning, you can select deliveries destined for one or more target areas.
