Enter Route Point Dates for a Service Trip

You can enter planned and actual route point dates as they become available for the service trip's itinerary.

Planned dates are only validated against other planned dates, and are never updated based upon an actual date. Actual dates are validated against other actual dates, not against planned dates.

Service trip berth allocations can also be managed via the Barge Line-up Explorer and Ship And Barge Line-up Explorer. See Despatch Line-ups.

For service trips based on a template, the template determines whether you can enter times as well as dates. See Set up a Service Trip Template. For service trips not based on a template, the Enter Times With Despatch Dates setting applies. See Set Date and Time Formats.

Security Note: You need the Allow barge route plan modifications and Allow barge service trip maintenance security rights in the Barge Despatches domain security rights group for this activity.

  11. If there are subsequent route points, to update the planned arrival and departure dates at those route points, right-click the current route point and select Assign Route Point ETAs from the menu.

    MineMarket updates the planned dates at the subsequent route points based on the Travel Time Estimate and Duration Time Estimate in the route. The route may be configured to calculate Travel Time With Delays. See Create a Barge Route.

  12. To clear dates from a predefined route point that has no recorded activity, right-click the route point and select Unassign from the menu.

    Note: Route points from predefined routes have two small icons above the route point. One icon represents the predefined route type and the other icon represents the location type. If there is no route icon, the route point is a dynamic route point. Unassigning a dynamic route point deletes the route point, instead of just clearing the dates.

    Note: Dates cannot be removed if there is any recorded activity associated with the dates. Recorded activity includes loading or unloading transactions or movements.
