How to consolidate multiple Transport Task Lines of same Part/Product/Article

Hi ​@Markus.Blomsterlandet 

    With the given data setup we are not in a position to demonstrate the existing functionality to satisfy your requirement. But, my opinion is that there are high chances you can satisfy your requirement with the existing functionality. 

I will add how transport task consolidation works for your reference:

********

The automatic consolidation that take place every time a Transport Task line is created. Meaning that newly created Transport Task lines should be added to existing Transport Task if possible. Otherwise there will a new transport task created. Currently there do exist some firm rules for consolidation:

·      “Single” lines with the same part no (including configuration), order reference and from and to location are added to already existing Transport Task headers in status created.

It should be possible to configure the rules that should be applied for consolidation of newly created Transport Task lines. And that it should be possible to have different set of rules per site.

It should be possible to define which criteria that should be considered when performing consolidation of newly added transport task lines. The implemented criterias to consider are:

The different options available are:

·        Part by:

Single Configuration/Single Part/Multiple Parts

 ·    Source By:

Single Reference/Single Ref1/Multiple References

·    From Location by:

Site/Warehouse/Bay/Row/Tier/Bin

·        To Location by:

Site/Warehouse/Bay/Row/Tier/Bin

(Optional criteria that might be included for consolidation:

Ownership/Owner/Project ID, activity, sequence/Lot batch no/Max number of lines

When new Transport Task lines are created we will use the criteria specified above to find similar Transport Task that are in status Created where the new lines could be added. In addition to those criteria the Transport Task lines considered for consolidation should also have:

·        From and to site must be the same as on the Transport Task where they should be added.

·        Location group for new lines must be the same (for From location) on the Transport Task where they should be added.

·        New lines can only be added to Transport Task that are not set as Fixed

·        Note that Destination will also always be a source for consolidation – separate destinations (Transit or Inventory) will be on separate transport tasks.
