Distances / Times

Distances

All distances are maintained in the database in the Distance UOM for the system. Distances will be converted to the Distance UOM of the user for presentation.

Most distances are computed by the routing process and will be available only when routing results are valid. Exceptions are noted in the descriptions for the applicable fields.

Distances computed by the routing process will use the override distance engine for the tariff, if one has been defined. Otherwise, the default distance engine for the applicable country (or countries) will be used to compute distances.

Times

All durations are maintained in the database in hours and decimal portions thereof. The configuration of the user's locale will determine whether portions of hours are presented as minutes or as a decimal value.

Durations will be computed by the scheduling process. When scheduling is active, these times will be available only when routing/rating/scheduling results are valid. When scheduling has been disabled, these values can be manually supplied at load level from the Scheduling/Overrides (Employee) page for a load.
