Grouping Orders

Stops, pickup or delivery, will be grouped in this release if orders are for the same Account and have the exact same steps in their workflows, pickup for pickup stops, delivery for delivery stops.

Pickup stops are never grouped if on the pickup workflow a Required ID verification and/or COD are set as steps and those steps are checked.

Delivery stops are never grouped  if on the delivery workflow a Required ID verification and/or COD are set as a steps and those steps are checked.

Pickup Workflow

Please review Pickup Workflow Release Notes for more information on how to set this up in Dispatch Science.
Note: When a pickup workflow has a Required ID verification or COD, the stops will not be grouped. If the workflow is not the same on orders because orders were created at different times and the workflow was changed, the stops will not be grouped.  

Only when the Account and pickup workflow are the same will you see the pickup orders in a group.
