Area

Post by puissancei »

Hello,

I saw the areaNumber must be put on TransportOrder.
If I understand, it's not possible for one transport to put loading in area A and delivery in area B ?

For exemple, put TransportAB.transportPointA.AreaNumber = A and TransportAB.transportPointB.AreaNumber = B


Thank you

Hello Michel,

you are right - the AREA property is part of the base class TransportOrder and therefore unique within a concrete TransportDepot or TransportAB object.

What is the requirement behind this question? What do you want to avoid? Ensure?
What is your understanding of an area?

Best regards,
Bernd

We would like to use what we call the transport regions.
A transportOrder can load in one region and deliver in another.

If I understand your usecase properly it'S eomething like "only some vehicles are allowed to take care of a transport from region A to region B" (such as "who is allowed to do a pickup or delivery in specific zip areas?

How about using the "skills" (=requirements) as a constraint for this?

I have already thought but we use the requirement already for several things.
I'm afraid we can exceed the 512 requirements if I have to put the authorized regions
