RS00312: TPO SOLVES WITH A GREATER COST FOR TRUCK LOAD THAN WHEN ITIS DONE MANUALLY.

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• There are two
  different vehicles in the model, each with different rates and
  different
  stop counts.  The vehicle X is a truckload shipment and can
  perform up to five delivery stops on a route.  This vehicle
  typically
  incurs costs per mile.  The vehicle Y448570-2-0 models
  less-than-truckload (LTL) shipments and can only perform one
  pickup and
  one delivery stop on a route. The LTL vehicle typically incurs a
  cost by
  weight.  In general, the costs work out in a way that individual
  orders
  going to individual destinations cost less if they go on the LTL
  vehicle
  (Y448570-2-0), but if there are several orders in the same area,
  it?s
  cheaper to put those on a multi-stop truck (X).
  
  When model is solved in Transport PowerOps,  the model has a
  higher cost for choosing the
  LTL carrier Y and if they were grouped in to one Truck and used
  the truck Load carrier X
  It solves with a cheaper cost for delivery.

  public void addVehicle(java.lang.String vehicleId,
  java.lang.String vehicleName, java.lang.String startVisitId,
  java.lang.String endVisitId, double fixedCost, java.lang.String
  restCalId, java.lang.String vehicleType);
  
  In the new argument, the possible values for the VehicleType are
  :
  - "Fixed" : for private fleets
  - "LTL" : for Less Than Truckload carriers
  - "" : if you don't want to specify the type of the vehicle.
  
  You'll then have to define the additional following parameter in
  the setting file :
  
  sFSDecisionEvaluatorPolicy=VehicleType+Cost
