Define Standard Transportation Route

Explanation

This activity is used to define transportation routes. A transportation route is used when changing locations for serials that are not connected to a structure. Both template routes and new routes can be used. A template route is normally used when the same route is used for several serials.

Prerequisites

• A location code must exist. For more information, refer the activity Define Location Code.
• The serial to be used on the transportation route cannot be connected to a structure.  

System Effects

• The template route can be copied or reused.
• Serials can be moved to another location using the transportation route.
