How to analyse unscheduled orders?

Hi there,

sometimes dispatchers want to know why a certain order hasn't been scheduled. Let me explain how to approach this in Optiflow API.
Let me first define three categories of orders at the end of a given planning - just my personal approach:

Re: Order Priorities versus OutsourcingCosts

Thanks for the info, Tim.

I didn't get the following statement:
Should a Prio1 order be unplannable because it contains wrong data of any kind, the optimization as a whole will be impacted as no prio2 orders would be planned.

Did you consider an update of the map?

Bernd

PS: by the way - sometimes objects are displayed in a map version but are not yet open for routing, check this article ...
