Route Delivery Sequence

Route delivery sequences define how a newspaper carrier should walk a route. Route lists and route labels may be printed in this order (Business Rules determine whether route labels print in truck-route-walk sequence order or truck-route-subscription ID order).

To set up a route delivery sequence:

• Select Route Delivery Sequence from the Setup menu to display the Route Delivery Sequence Update screen.

• Select Add and complete the following fields.

Field	Type	What to enter
ROUTE	setup	Enter the route for which to set up or modify the walk sequence.
ALL ADDRESSES	yes/no	Enter “y” if you want to select all addresses assigned to a route.
ZIP CODE	setup	Enter the Zip code for which to modify or view the route delivery sequence. Only addresses on this route within this Zip code will be sequenced.
SORT ORDER	predefined	Indicate whether addresses should display in street address order or walk sequence order. This is for display purposes only; the actual order is always the walk sequence order.
ASSIGN	yes/no	Indicate if you want sequence numbers to be automatically assigned by 10s (e.g., 10, 20, 30, etc.).

• Select Continue to begin the sequencing. All of the addresses on this route are displayed, along with their sequence number (which is initially zero).

• Select Modify, scroll down to the first address in the sequence, and press Enter. You can then enter the sequence number for this address. We recommend that you sequence addresses by tens (10, 20, 30, etc.) so that addresses can be added into the sequence later.

• Press Enter after specifying a sequence number, and select another address. When you have finished entering sequence numbers, press F4 and Exit (twice) to exit to the main menu.
