The stop fields are used to pre-define the default stop on the truck route for the customer's deliveries.

 

•Up to 3 characters may be entered in each of the stop fields and may contain any combination of characters and numbers, but special characters such as spaces, commas, and dashes should not be used.

 

•Enter the stop number that the customer's order will be delivered on, for each day of the week that they normally receive a delivery.

 

•The Standard stop acts as a fall back, should the customer place an order for a day of the week where no stop information had been defined.

 

•NECS recommends leaving gaps between stop numbers in case a new stop is added to the route. A common approach is to increment the stop numbers by 10. For example, the first stop of the day may be 100 followed by 110, 120, etc…

 

•Many entrée reports can optionally display the customer's stop number for any given day of the week.

 

•Information specified for the default stop information is just a default value and can be overridden either in the invoicing system or by using the Assign Route Number utility.
