Vehicle Routing and Dispatching with SAP

Description

ORTEC LEO SRO creates optimal routes from a workload of orders and vehicle resources while considering the customer, product and vehicle specific restrictions within SAP ERP.

The key features of ORTEC LEO SRO are:

  • Use of route planning algorithm based on SAP Sales Order and/or SAP Delivery
  • Automatic creation of subsequent SAP documents (SAP shipments from LEO routes, SAP deliveries from SAP Sales Orders) after commitment of planning results.
  • Strong usability for manual interaction with an active map and an active Gantt chart component.
  • Customizable Document Status Management keeps SAP documents consistent
  • Real-time optimization (i.e. SAP rush orders) supported with the LEO Document Change Management.
  • Modification free SAP master data extensions for route planning relevant objects (e.g. customer, vendor, material etc.)


Available route constraints taking into account are e.g.:

  • Customer / Vendor location and opening times
  • Vehicle capacities and types
  • Driver work times
  • Order dates and sizes
  • Stop operation times (loading, unloading)
  • Fixed and variable planning cost factors
  • Regions
  • Priorities
  • Tariffs
  • Required loading/unloading equipments (fork lift, etc.)

Results available in the SAP system are e.g.

  • Optimal routes with assigned vehicle resources and sequenced stops with orders
  • Minimal planning costs
  • Geographic display of routes
  • “LEO Route“ as an intermediate planning object
  • Automatic creation of SAP shipments and SAP deliveries

The following route planning scenarios are supported e.g.:

  • Single / Multi day planning
  • Single and Multi depot planning
  • Pickup and delivery orders
  • Most accurate load capacity check with LEO pallet and load building based on pallets or loose load materials for various truck types (i.e. bay trucks, double-deckers, haulage trucks, etc.)
