Can OTM look at future capacity availability so the least expensive carrier is selected

edited Aug 28, 2019 11:47AM in Transportation Management 1 comment

Summary

We have carrier capacity implemented and OTM seems to set the ship date and then select the best carrier - anyway to look at a different ship date and use future capacity?

Content

We have capacity setup from our Fort Smith DC.  We are noticing that when we have the option for a shipment to ship either today or tomorrow - and use a less expensive carrier's future capacity (tomorrow's capacity) - OTM keeps the earlier shipment ship date and uses today's capacity - and in some instances - the less expensive carrier's capacity is exhausted and OTM ends up selecting a more expensive carrier to ship the shipment today when there was an option to ship the shipment tomorrow and use the less expensive carrier.  Is there a way to have OTM consider

Howdy, Stranger!
