How to only assign activities (without scheduling the activity in a certain date) using routing?
Summary:
Is there a way to assign unscheduled activities from a bucket to its "child buckets" and leaving these activities as unscheduled (so just assigning the activity from parent bucket to the child bucket without setting the date of the activity), by using the routing plan?

Our bucket structure is as follows:

In our business case have one bucket (Parent Bucket) used as a basket of unscheduled activities. This bucket has as children other buckets (that represent different companies: Company A, Comapny B,…) with some technicians each. The Parent Bucket above all the companies has the function to just hold unscheduled activities with the purpose of distributing these activities (using a routing plan) among all its children buckets according to the work zones covered, leaving the activities as unscheduled in order to completely leave the companies (the child buckets) the responsibility to schedule the activities and assign them to technicians.
