Routing Criteria Tab

Each section contains fields that correspond to shipment attributes. If the fields contain a value, the Routing Guide compares the value with the corresponding shipment attribute. If the field is blank, the corresponding shipment attribute is not considered when determining the Routing Guide rule that applies to the shipment. For the rule to apply to a shipment, all of the values specified in the rule must match the corresponding attributes in the shipment.


Table Name	Description
XMSHDR0	Shipment header attributes
XMSXPK0	Shipment pack attributes
XMSITM0	Shipment item attributes
XTZSTP0	Shipment type attributes
XMPROD0	Product attributes

The fields in the Address Information section are compared with the Customer and Ship To details of the shipment.

• Include Address: Use these fields to specify shipments that the Routing Guide rule applies to. For example, to create a Routing Guide rule that applies when shipping to the US, specify US in the Country field of the Include Address section.

• Exclude Address: Use these fields to specify shipments that the Routing Guide rule does not apply to. For example, to create a Routing Guide rule that applies when shipping to all countries apart from the US, specify US in the Country field of the Exclude Address section.

You can combine Include Address criteria with Exclude Address criteria in a single rule. For example, to create a Routing Guide rule that applies to all shipments to US states apart from California:

The customer of the shipment.

The Ship To party of the shipment.

The Ship To name, or part of the Ship To name, of the shipment. For example, if you enter SMITH in this field, it matches both JOHN SMITH and SMITHS OF KANSAS.

A comma-separated list of postal code ranges.

Example: If this field contains 10300-10399,10800-10899,83110, then the rule refers to shipments with postal codes that are one of the following:

A comma-separated list of city names that are listed in option PL. The validation of this field is not case-sensitive.

A comma-separated list of states. The validation of this field is not case-sensitive. The state codes that you enter here must match the format of state codes that exist in the partner address book.

A comma-separated list of two-character ISO country codes. The validation of this field is not case-sensitive.

However, some combinations are not allowed because they do not make sense. These combinations are flagged when you try to include them in the Routing Guide rule. You cannot combine:

• Multiple states and postal codes. In this case, the postal code has precedence, and state does not apply.

This criteria is used to determine whether a Routing Guide rule applies to a shipment based on the weight or volume of the shipment. You can specify that a rule applies when a shipment weighs less than 100 kilograms, or when a shipment measures more than 100 cubic centimeters in volume.

The minimum shipment weight at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The maximum shipment weight at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

Shipment weight is determined from the pack weights of the shipment. If there are no packs on the shipment, the weight is taken from the XMSHDR0.SHGWGT field in the shipment header. Dimensional weight is not considered for Ship Weight Min and Ship Weight Max, as the dimensional weight calculation is not consistent across carriers and services.

The lookup field enables you to select the UOM of the values. If the lookup field is empty, the UOM is the default UOM configured in system values. The overall shipment weight is converted to this UOM. Then the comparison is made between the converted shipment weight and the minimum and maximum weight thresholds specified in Ship Weight Min and Ship Weight Max.


Category	Key	Description
SYSTEM	UOM - Default MASS	Unit of measure for mass. Possible values: Any unit of measure in the option UO, where the dimension scope is MASS. This is usually set up during the PRECISION implementation, and is typically set to lb or Kg.

The minimum shipment volume at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The maximum shipment volume at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The shipment volume is determined from the pack volumes on the shipment. If there are no packs on the shipment, the volume is taken from the volume on the shipment header XMSHDR0.SHCUBE.

The lookup field enables you to select the UOM of the values used. If the lookup field is empty, the UOM is the default UOM configured in system values. The overall shipment volume is converted to this UOM. Then the comparison is made between the converted shipment volume and the minimum and maximum volume thresholds specified in Shipment Volume Min and Shipment Volume Max.


Category	Key	Description
SYSTEM	UOM - Default VOLUME	Unit of measure for volume. Possible values: Any unit of measure in the option UO, where the dimension scope is VOLUME. This is usually set up during the PRECISION implementation, and is typically set to FT3 or M3.

This criteria is used to determine whether a Routing Guide rule applies based on the weight, volume or dimensions of every package on the shipment. You can specify that a rule applies when: each pack in a shipment weighs less than 100 kilograms, or when each pack in a shipment measures more than 100 cubic centimeters in volume.

The minimum package weight at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The maximum package weight at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

Dimensional weight is not considered for Pack Weight Min and Pack Weight Max because the dimensional weight calculation is not consistent across carriers and services.

The lookup button enables you to choose the weight UOM of the values used. If the field is empty, the UOM is the default UOM configured in the system value displayed in Default System UOM for Mass. The pack weight of the shipment is converted to this UOM. Then the comparison is made between the converted pack weight and the minimum and maximum weight thresholds specified in Pack Weight Min and Pack Weight Max.

The minimum package length at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The maximum package length at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The package length is defined as the length of the longest side on the package.

The minimum package length + girth at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The maximum package length + girth at which the Routing Guide rule applies.

The combination of package length plus package girth is a typical consideration made by carriers to determine whether a package is an oversize package.

Girth is calculated as follows: Girth = 2 * (Width + Height).

The lookup button enables you to choose the UOM of the values. If the lookup field is empty, the UOM is the default UOM configured in the system value in Default System UOM for Length. The package dimensions are converted to this UOM. Then the comparison is made between the converted package dimensions and the minimum and maximum dimension thresholds specified in Pack Length Min, Pack Length Max, Pack Length & Girth Min, and Pack Length & Girth Max.


Category	Key	Description
SYSTEM	UOM - Default LENGTH	Unit of measure for length. Possible values: Any unit of measure in the option UO, where the dimension scope is LENGTH. This value is usually set up during the PRECISION implementation, and is typically set to IN, FT, CM or M.

The shipment must contain at least one pack of the specified type before the Routing Guide rule applies. The type of each pack in a shipment is identified by the corresponding shipment pack field XMSXPK0.SXTYPE.

The minimum number of packages that must exist in the shipment for the Routing Guide rule to apply. The pack count is stored in the shipment header field XMSHDR0.SHPACK.

If the number of packages on the shipment exceeds this value, the Routing Guide does not apply.

The number of packages is based on the number of outermost packages on the shipment. Child packages are not considered.

Use this criteria to determine whether a Routing Guide rule applies to a shipment based on general attributes of the shipment.

The currently assigned freight payment method, which is stored in XMSHDR0.SHTERM.

The duty/tax payment method, which is stored in XMSHDR0.SHDUTYTERM.

The delivery terms, which are stored in XMSHDR0.SHDSTR.

The transport mode, which is stored in XMSHDR0.SHMODE.

The minimum and maximum shipment distances at which the Routing Guide rule applies. The shipment distance is stored in XMSHDR0.SHPDST. The lookup field next to the value range enables you to select a UOM for the values. If the lookup field is empty, the UOM is the default UOM configured in system values. The shipment distance is converted to this UOM and then the comparison is made between the converted distance and the minimum and maximum distance specified in Min/Max Distance.


Category	Key	Description
SYSTEM	UOM - DEFAULT DISTANCE	Unit of measure for distance. Possible values: Any unit of measure in the option UO, where the dimension scope is LENGTH. This value is usually set up during the PRECISION implementation, and is typically set to KM or ML.

The minimum and maximum shipment values at which the Routing Guide rule applies. The shipment value is stored in XMSHDR0.SHVALU. The lookup field next to the range enables you to set the currency. If the currency is not specified, the system currency is used. The shipment value is converted to this currency, and then the values are compared.


Category	Key	Description
SYSTEM	DEFAULT CURRENCY	Default system currency. Possible values: Any currency in the option CU.

The service assigned to the shipment, which is stored in XMSHDR0.SHROUT.

The carrier assigned to the shipment, which is stored in XMSHDR0.SHSHPC.

The freight class of an item line in the shipment. Specify a comma-separated list of freight classes. If one of the entries in the list matches one of the freight classes on the shipment item lines, the Routing Guide rule applies. Typically, the Freight Class field is used for LTL shipments. The freight class of each product in a shipment is identified by the corresponding shipment item field XMSITM0.SIFCLS.

A product code associated with the shipment. There must be at least one occurrence of the product code on one shipment item line. The product code of each item line in a shipment is identified by the corresponding shipment item field XMSITM0.SIPROD.

The shipment type, which is stored in the shipment header field XMSHDR0.SHTYPE.

If you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to export shipments only, select Yes. Similarly, if you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to all shipments that are not for export, select No. The value in the shipment header field XMSHDR0.SHTYPE is used to find the master record, XTSZTP0. The field ZSEXP on the master record indicates whether the shipment is an export shipment.

If you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to import shipments only, select Yes. Similarly, if you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to all shipments that are not for import, select No. The value in the shipment header field XMSHDR0.SHTYPE is used to find the master record, XTSZTP0. The field ZSIMP on the master record indicates whether the shipment is an import shipment.

If you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to domestic outbound shipments only, select Yes. Similarly, if you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to all shipments that are not domestic outbound shipments, select No. The value in the shipment header field XMSHDR0.SHTYPE is used to find the master record, XTSZTP0. The field ZSDOUT on the master record indicates whether the shipment is a domestic outbound shipment.

If you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to domestic inbound shipments only, select Yes. Similarly, if you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to all shipments that are not domestic inbound shipments, select No. The value in the shipment header field XMSHDR0.SHTYPE is used to find the master record, XTSZTP0. The field ZSDIN on the master record indicates whether the shipment is a domestic inbound shipment.

Use this criteria to determine whether a Routing Guide rule applies based on hazardous material information.

If you want the Routing Guide rule to apply shipments that have hazardous material in a line item, select Yes. Similarly, if you want the Routing Guide rule to apply to shipments that do not have hazardous material in a line item, select No. When the field XMSITM0.SIDGI is set to yes, the product that it contains is hazardous material.

The UN Number of a product on the shipment. There must be at least one occurrence of this UN number on the shipment. The UN number of each item line in a shipment is identified by the corresponding shipment item field XMSITM0.SICLAS.

The hazmat class of a product on the shipment. There must be at least one occurrence of this hazmat class on the shipment. The shipment item field XMSITM0.SICLAS is used to identify the UN number table field XMUNNO0.UNCLNO.

The SI Number of a product on the shipment. There must be at least one occurrence of this SI number on the shipment. The shipment item field XMSITM0.SICLAS is used to identify the UN number table field XMUNNO0.UNSINO.

The sub-risk class of a product on the shipment. There must be at least one occurrence of this SI number on the shipment. The shipment item field XMSITM0.SICLAS is used to identify the UN number table field XMUNNO0.UNSUBR.
