Transit Public holidays

[bob_romijn]

Hi,

I have a requirement from a customer which I really can;t figure out how to do it the best. So I want to know whether someone has dealt with this before.

The transit time of a carrier will have to consider public holidays "on the route". E.g. Going from Spain to Germany, you have to travel through France. France has a public holiday so it will take a day longer. Where and how to configre this?

I came up with these facts:

- Calendars can be assigned to a location. This is however not possible to use because the pickup and delivery locations are not situated in France.
- The calendars of the interim locations on a Itinerary leg are not considered, so this option also is removed.
- A calendar can be assigned to an itinerary, but is only meant for activating or de-activating the itinerary.
- A calendar can be assigned to a rate service (only in dayduration). This can be a solution if you don't have to many carrier/lane combinations, which is not the case. This will be unmaintanable besides the fact that I think of using ground schedules, where the calendar doesn't work.

Did I overlook an option here?

Not sure if Bob will respond, as he's a Red Prairie man for more than a year now.

Have also looked into this for a client in the past and found no solution. I believe this should be handled as a manual exception: for example UK to Switzerland usually passes through France, but it could take the Belgium-Germany route to avoid driving restrictions and tolls.

The use of calendars at interim points should be the best solution, but you will have to submit an Enhancement Request for this.

I tried with the calender with rate Service in Day Duration for a kinda of similar but not the same requirement. And yes you can't fine tune in granular level in terms of lane, carrier or combo.

Yes i would agree for an O Enhancement Request.
