Note: As of version 25.07, the main menu option previously labeled “Planning” is now called “File Upload”. All instructions remain the same, but you will now see File Upload in the menu instead of Planning. Screenshots or labels that reference “Planning” or “Upload File” may still appear in some guides, but these refer to the same File Upload function.
Shipment information must be uploaded to Descartes Route Planner On-demand to optimally schedule the shipments on routes for the selected delivery date. This task can be performed in one of two ways: automated file transmission or manual import.
To upload order data:
From the main menu, select Planning > Upload File.
Optionally enter or select a date using the calendar control. This step is only required when no indication of the delivery date is found within the import file, or the website application is not configured to look at the date field.
Click Choose File to select the shipment/order data file. A preview of the file is displayed.
Click Upload.
The system will display messages for both successful and unsuccessful uploads.
To upload another file, click Upload File from the menu or select the Home option to return to the main page.
