Hello everyone,
The following use case:
Depot example

• 2 deliveries (Z1, Z2).
• Z1 must be collected from the depot between 8 and 9 am.
• Z2 between 10 and 11 am.

(How) can I map this?
I have timeslots at the depot, but no pickup element for a delivery order to set the timeslot IDs?
Is this only possible via delivery pickups?
If so... does that work even though I no longer have a depot?
Thank you very much!
BR Claus

Hello Claus,

looks like this request has been overseen - sorry for that. Just had a chat with DEV about this:
As of today 8.9.2025 we offer the new feature

• Pickup-delivery orders can now be combined with pickup and/or delivery orders.

So if your order is already preassigned to a specific depot you might consider to migrate this single order from a "DeliveryOrder" to a "PickupDeliveryOrder":

• Use a single Location at the "depot coordinates" with the two timeslots "early" and "late":

  Code: Select all

  {
    "id": "myDepotLocation",
    ...
    "stopProperties":{
      "timeSlots":[
       "id":"early" , "earliestStart" : "___08:00", "latestEnd":"___09:00",
       "id":"late", "earliestStart" : "___10:00", "latestEnd" : "___11:00"
      ]...
    }
  }
  

• Assign a single depot to this location? Not required. The order is not assigned to the depot but to the location.
• For the two different pickupdelivery orders specify the explizit timeLoSlotID of the proper slot:

  • Code: Select all

    {
      "id" : "myEarlyOrder",
      "pickup" : {
        "locationId" : "myDepotLocation" , "timeSlotIds : [ "early" ]...
      }
    }
    

  • Code: Select all

    {
      "id" : "myLateOrder",
      "pickup" : {
        "locationId" : "myDepotLocation" , "timeSlotIds : [ "late" ]...
      }
    }
