Route Setup Utility

A route is a geographic location made up of addresses. Routes that sell papers to customers are single copy routes. Routes that deliver papers to subscribers are home delivery routes. Both types of routes are defined in the Route Setup Utility.

The Route Setup Utility is an alternative to the Distribution Point, Home Delivery Route, and Single Copy Route setup options (see Distribution Point in the Setup Manual). The advantage is that, by using Route Setup, you are walked through all three setups, including specific information, in one continuous entry session.

The Route Setup Utility consists of a number of tabs. These tabs are described in the order in which they are arranged. To begin, select Route Setup Utility from the Setup menu.

Basic Information

You can add (), find (), modify () or copy () routes using the Route Setup Utility.

Basic information for the route appears in the top portion of the Route Setup window. See the descriptions in the following table. After basic information is entered, additional route information can be specified in the tabs in the bottom portion of the window, as documented below.

Note: The other option on the toolbar () is used to maintain the drop address associated with the route. See Maintain a Route Address for more information about this option.

Field	Type	What to enter
PRODUCT	setup	Select a product that can be delivered on this route.
ROUTE	open (8)	Enter an ID for this route.
START DATE	date	Enter the first date this product can be delivered on this route.
END DATE	date	Enter the last date this product can be delivered on this route. Never set an end date until the draw is zero (0) and all billing has been completed.
TYPE	predefined	Indicate whether this is a route (home delivery route) or single copy route.
POSTAL DROP?	yes/no	If you selected “single copy” in TYPE, indicate if this is a bulk postal drop.
NAME	open (25)	Enter the name of the route.
DISTRICT	setup	Enter the district in which this route is located.
SECTIONS BY ROUTE	setup	This field is used by advance publishing and the Burt export option. Indicate if this route delivers all or some of the newspaper’s advance sections. Otherwise, enter none. If you select “all” or “some”, the Sections tab will be available for entry of Burt part information. Note: If all routes of an edition deliver an advanced section, you can link the section to the edition, and can select “All” here.
AAM COLUMN	setup	Select the AAM column in which paid circulation figures for this route should be recorded for AAM reporting.
ROUTE CLASS	setup	Select the route class for this route. A route class is a group of similar routes for group draw purposes. If, for example, you have four racks at a shopping mall whose daily draw would change at the same rate, you can group them together in a route class.
RATE CLASS	setup	Optionally, select an account rate class for this route. A rate class is a group of routes used for account rating purposes.
INSERT GROUP	setup	If you have InsertPlus, enter the insert group for this route (also known as a preprint demographic). Insert groups represent types of routes (such as “apt” and “house”) that are typically sold together when advertisers order insertions.
BONUS RATE CLASS	setup	Optionally, select a bonus rate class for this route. Bonus rate classes are used to insert bonusing with InsertPlus.
BURT ALT ZONE CODE 1	integer	User defined. Works in conjunction with Burt Export and is only for sites that export alternate zone information.
CODE 2	integer	User defined. Works in conjunction with Burt Export and is only for sites that export alternate zone information.
ALLOW RETURNS?	yes/no	Indicate whether returns are allowed for this route.
ALLOW DRAW CHANGES?	yes/no	Indicate whether draw changes (changes to the draw before the publishing run has been processed) are allowed for this route. Leave this box unselected for home delivery routes whose office pay, carrier collect, paid comp, and unpaid comp draws should not be adjusted manually. Note that you will still be able to adjust the draw for samples and service copies.
LOCATION?	open (unlimited)	Indicate whether a drop location should be entered. If the drop location for this route does not vary and is not the carrier’s home address, select this checkbox and then specify the drop location for this route in the Default Drop Location dialog box that appears.
INSTRUCTIONS?	open (unlimited)	Indicate whether special drop instructions apply to this route. If so, select this checkbox and enter the instructions in the Default Drop Instructions dialog box that appears.

Route Setup

If you are defining a home delivery route, you must enter delivery information in the Route Setup tab. Click OK to accept the information. The other Route Setup tabs will then be open.

Note: If this is a single copy route, the fields on the Route Setup tab will be different. See Single Copy Information for descriptions of those fields.

Field	Type	What to enter
ROUTE TYPE	setup	Enter the route type for this route, such as carrier or foot. Route types are user-defined categories.
NUMBER OF MILES	decimal (4)	Enter the number of miles covered by this route. This field is currently used for reference purposes only.
HOUSEHOLDS	integer (6)	Enter the total number of households on this route (subscribers and non-subscribers). This field is used by InsertPlus.
VAC PAC HANDLER	predefined	Indicate whether vacation packages will be held for subscribers by the carrier or the office (District Manager).
PRINT LABELS	predefined	Indicate whether route labels should never be printed for this route, always be printed, or be printed only for dwelling types that have been set up for route labels. Enter “always”, for example, if this route delivers to a nursing home or campus dormitory where every paper on the route should be labeled for internal distribution.
SUBSCRIPTION RATE CLASS	setup	The route may be assigned to a subscription rate class for subscriber rating purposes. If so, enter the rate class here.
ASSOCIATED ROUTE	setup	At times, transactions performed by agents are not reported until after they have occurred. For example, a subscriber may start a subscription on a Monday, but the newspaper may not be notified until Wednesday. In this situation, the agent provides the paper to the subscriber from a specific single copy route until the regular route draw is updated. Backdated draw adjustments can be created to reconcile this draw between home delivery and single copy routes. In associated route, you enter the single copy route that should be used to provide or receive papers related to the backdated transactions. This field is required if the Business Rule, Should backdated transactions create draw adjustments between associated routes? is set to “Yes”.
SUBSIDY	decimal (8)	If transportation cost subsidies can be entered at the route level (as governed by the Business Rule Should route level subsidies be included in transportation costs?) you may specify the subsidy for this route. If a subsidy amount is specified, it increases the transportation cost for taxing purposes. For example, if a subsidy of .05 is entered and the carrier receives 27¢ per copy to deliver a subscription, the total transportation cost for the subscription would be .32. If a subsidy amount is entered at the route level, it will be used rather than the subsidy specified in the Business Rule What is the daily subsidy amount which should be added to the remit on payment trans cost calculation?
REDELIVER	yes/no	Indicate whether products can be redelivered to the subscriber, if necessary, on this route. For example, redelivery may not be allowed to some subscribers because of time/distance constraints. Typically, redelivery is made because the paper is wet or damaged.
OFFICE PAY	yes/no	Indicate whether office pay subscriptions are allowed on this route.
CARRIER COLLECT	yes/no	Indicate whether carrier collect subscriptions are allowed on this route.
STATUS CARDS	yes/no	Indicate whether office pay status cards should be printed for this route. These cards are printed when an office pay subscriber has a transaction that would affect the carrier (such as a change in expiration date).
DELIVER RENEWALS	yes/no	Indicate whether subscriber renewal notices are delivered by this route. Renewal notices can be delivered by route or mailed.
THROWOFF	yes/no	Indicate whether this is a throwoff route. A throwoff route represents one or more subscribers delivered directly by the truck driver (the individual subscribers will print on the truck manifest).
PRINT CC INVOICES	yes/no	If you produce invoices for carrier collect subscribers (a Business Rules consideration), indicate whether carrier collect invoices should be printed for this route.
ALLOW ISERVICES WALK SEQ UPDATES	yes/no	Route walk sequencing will only be allowed in iServices Distribution when this field is checked.
BILL WHEN	predefined	This field will be open only if the Print CC Invoices checkbox is selected. If you print carrier collect invoices for this route, indicate whether the invoices should be produced in advance or in arrears. If you select “arrears”, the collect invoices for this route will indicate what is due from each carrier collect subscriber in the current billing period. If you select “advance”, the invoices will indicate what is due for the next billing period.
BILLING METHOD	predefined	If both the Office Pay and Carrier Collect checkboxes are selected, this field will be open. Enter the default billing method for subscribers on this route. This will be either office pay, or carrier collect. Leave the field blank to use the default billing method defined in Business Rules.
TIME ZONE ZIP	setup	Enter the Zip code for this route. Time zones are associated with Zip codes in Zip setup. If you enter a Zip code with an associated time zone, the time zone will default.

ORDER SUN - SAT	integer (8)	If a depot is entered for some or all days in the week, enter the route’s drop order within the depot on that day.
BURT TYPE	open (2)	Specify the Burt product type for this route for each day of the week. The product type is exported to Burt and indicates how the route is inserted (complete, part, etc.). The product type entered here is used for actual and pending draw; the product type used when exporting advance draw is specified in the Section tab.

If this is a single copy route, you can assign a single copy price level via the Price Level tab. If your newspaper reports AAM circulation figures based on price level, and the draw for a single copy route will not fall under the default price level for single copy (as defined in Business Rules), a price level must be assigned. Enter a price level for each day of the week, and the date range for which the price level assignment is valid.

Edition Model

The edition normally delivered by the route has already been specified as part of the basic information for the route. On certain occasions, however, a different edition may be delivered. For example, routes sometimes deliver a different edition on holidays. In these cases, an alternate edition model is used.

The optimal return percent or amount is used for Return Draw Analysis reporting, which compares the actual returns for the route with its optimal percentage/amount. If the returns are different from the optimal, Circulation creates draw change transactions.
MIN DRAW	integer (6)	For each day of the week, enter the minimum draw limit for this draw class. Draw changes will not be able to set the draw below this limit (unless the draw is changed to zero).
MAX DRAW	integer (6)	For each day of the week, enter the maximum draw limit for this draw class.
OPT RET %*	decimal (4)	If the optimal return type for this draw class is “percentage” (as entered in Optimal Type), enter the optimal return percentage for each day of the week.
