Route Code

When a new sales order is created, the initial route code is established from the default for each ship-to customer.  This value can be manually overridden at order entry time by entering an alternate code.  This code must be a valid value on the Reference File category 320.  

The default code is maintained on the customer name and address record as a single value for each ship-to customer.  It can be updated using the Customer Master File Maintenance conversation.  The route code and its description are displayed in all Order Processing conversations.  It can be modified in all conversations except Sales Order Inquiry.  

In situations where multiple warehouses are used to source an order, each warehouse may use a different route.  The route code is also maintained on each order line and defaults to the value entered on the order header screen.  It may be modified on a line-by-line basis by entering an alternate code on the order line window.
