Assign Lane Time-Triggered Transaction

This Task Q based time-triggered transaction is used to assign lanes. This time-triggered transaction should be used in scenarios where we need to balance the load on the lanes by distributing the shipments across the various lanes that are available for use.

The Assign Lane time-triggered transaction works off a Wave, and assigns lanes to all shipments in the Wave that have not yet been assigned a lane. Depending on the configuration, it assigns lanes based on SortByShipment and SortByCarrier.

If any dedicated lanes have been configured, then this time-triggered transaction assigns the dedicated lanes to the shipments that satisfy the criteria configured for the dedicated locations. After assigning the dedicated lanes, if there are still shipments which do not have any lanes assigned, then these shipments are assigned to any non-dedicated locations in a round-robin fashion.
