Assigning the Sort Order for Delivery Manifests
Note: Before you assign sort order numbers to customers, ECI recommends that you either print the Customer Master Listing report or a manifest and determine the order in which your customers receive deliveries. For instructions, see Printing the Customer Master Listing Report (Standard), Printing the Customer Master Listing Report (Custom), or Printing Delivery Manifests.
From the Master Menu, click . The Customer Window opens and displays information for the last selected customer.
Search for and select the customer to whom to assign a sort order.
Click the Buyers/Manifest tab. For more information about this tab, see In the Customer Buyers/Manifest tab.
In the Sort Order box, enter the sort order number to use for this customer:
Use all for digits. For example, to use a sort of 100, use 0100.
Begin with an unusually high number to allow for sorts ahead of the first code used.
Assign the sort code in multiples of 50. For example, if you assign a sort code of 1050, the sort before that would be 1000. This makes it easier to insert new customers to a route at a later time, as you can insert a customer without having to change everyone else's sort numbers.
Click to save your changes. Continue to add sort codes for as many customers as needed.
