This screen displays a list of distances and transit times associated with itinerary segments for a load, trip, or non-operational freight transaction.
Itinerary segments are displayed in one or two tabs in this screen: Point to Point Mode and Round Trip Mode.
The Round Trip Mode tab is displayed only when the list has at least one stop in transit (in addition to the origin and destination stops).
In Point to Point Mode, an itinerary segment is displayed for each pair of consecutive stops on the itinerary. For example, if a load moves from Location A to Location D with in transit deliveries at Locations B and C, the list displays itinerary segments for A -> B, B -> C and C -> D.
In Round Trip Mode, an itinerary segment is displayed between the location represented by the first stop and each of the other stops. These distances are considered by routing when establishing the far point for the round trip. For example, if a load moves from Location A to Location D with in transit deliveries at Locations B and C, the list will present itinerary segments for A -> C and A -> D in addition to the itinerary segments that are presented in Point to Point Mode.
For each itinerary segment, the distance is the direct distance between the two locations represented by the stops. The transit time refers to the duration that would be required to travel between the two locations without taking any breaks.
The Distance Engine in the header for the list is established as follows:
If the load, trip, or NOF has a Last Rated Tariff and an override Distance Engine has been configured for this Tariff, distances on the List of Distances and Transit Times are displayed from the perspective of this specific Distance Engine. The Distance Engine in the list header displays the description for this Distance Engine.
Otherwise, the List of Distances and Transit Times is displayed from the perspective of the default Distance Engines for the applicable countries:
If the default Distance Engine associated with each itinerary segment for the load, trip, or NOF are equal, the Distance Engine in the list header displays the description for the common Distance Engine.
Otherwise, the Distance Engine in the list header indicates that multiple distance engines are being used.
The Distance Engine for each itinerary segment is established as follows:
If the load, trip, or NOF has a Last Rated Tariff and an override Distance Engine has been configured for this Tariff, the Distance Engine for each itinerary segment is equal to the override Distance Engine for the Tariff.
Otherwise, the Distance Engine is established based on the countries for the two locations. If both addresses are in the same country, or the addresses are in different countries but both countries refer to the same Distance Engine for Distance/Transit Time, the common Distance Engine is display. Otherwise, the Distance Engine is "Internal".
The list indicates whether each distance and transit time pair is based on default values retrieved from the applicable Distance Engine or whether they are based on a generic override or tariff service specific override. If overrides exist at both levels, the tariff service level override is displayed. If the Remove Override operation is performed and overrides exist at both levels, the tariff service specific override is deleted and the list reverts to using the generic override.
If the “Distinct Distances and Transit Times by Direction” flag in the global settings is True, the orientation of the shipping locations is considered when retrieving distances and transit times. If the flag is False and values already exist in the cache for the applicable combination of distance engine, division, locations (ID/type/address) and tariff service, it is possible that the distance and transit time might have initially been computed with the addresses reversed.
