Configure a One-Stop Load

A previous article showed users how to start, but not complete, a load. This article builds that knowledge. It shows DVU users how to add one or more shipments with a single stop to a load.

Adding a shipment

There are two ways to add a shipment to a load: select an existing shipment or create a new one.

Option 1 Select an existing shipment

Go to the Loads main page, open a record, click Shipments/Stops on the side menu, and then click the plus icon near the Shipments heading.

1. Make sure the Create Auto Stops box is checked. (see below).

2. Click the Refresh button.

3. Locate the shipment(s) for this load in the list.

4. Check the box(es) next to each shipment.

5. Click Save.

Results

Davinci displays the Shipments/Stops page. The page shows two shipments and one stop. Davinci recognizes the destination address is the same for each delivery, so it auto-creates one stop.

Option 2 Create a new shipment

DVU users can also create a new shipment on the Loads page.

1. Click the plus icon near the Shipments heading.

2. Make sure the Create Auto Stops box is checked. (see below).

3. Click the plus icon and select an option (i.e. Pickups, Deliveries, Moves, or Returns).

4. Complete the shipment template and click Save.

5. Repeat steps to add more shipments with the same destination to the load.

Results

Davinci recognizes that each shipment has the same delivery address and auto-creates one stop with multiple shipments.

Adding details

Next, add details to the Shipments/Loads page.

1. Enter a 1 in the Stops >Stop column.

2. Go to the Shipments > Stop column and enter the same number for each shipment.

3. Use the date picker to enter an appointment date and time for the stop.

4. Enter an appointment reference number. (optional)

Modifying a load

To remove or update a shipment, click a row (the color changes to blue).

• Click the Edit icon to make changes.

• Click the Delete icon to remove a row.
