why geoIdTo in ShipmentCostEstimate
Hello all,
I am not getting purpose of geoIdFrom and geoIdTo in ShipmentCostEstimate entity.What I guess is it simply specifies source and destination for shipment.If this is the case then how will we handle the case if shipment is in part.I mean if I want to ship data from warehouse to customer's home.In this case geoIdFrom=warehouse and geoIdTo=customer's home.But what if there are two or three terminals in between.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Divesh Dutta

Ah David !
You are amazing, I really missed the route segment concept. It can handle the problem of Divesh.
Thank you very much.

The concept closest to this in OFBiz is handled by the
ShipmentRouteSegment and related entities. There is nothing in the
checkout process for the customer to specify such information, and I'm
not sure if you'd want the customer to specify such things.
When manually creating a Shipment for an order in the Facility Manager
you can specify multiple route segments with different carriers,
tracking codes, and the works.

Vivak,
Split shipping does not solve this problem. Split shipping is used when Order have more then one delivery point. Like if you have 2 products in your order and you want to ship each of them at separate location then at that time we split the order into two and assign the desire destination for each product.
So splitting works when the items from the same order ship to more then one location. Not in case is shipment is passes from terminals.
Concept is same as one to many : one order many destination.
Thanks
Sumit Pandit

Hi Divesh,
I think split shipping which is implemented in Quick Checkout(three page
chekout) would serve the solution.
Kind Regards,

Hello Divesh,
Regarding to your case, I am not sure that this functionality already exist in OFBiz or not.
But the logic should be like that :
For example track from source to destination is like :
Source (S) --> Terminal1(t1) --> Terminal2(t2) --> Terminal3(t3) --> Destination(D)
Now for such case we can calculate the shipment cost of each break point and then collectively get the cost of S to D.
Total cost(shipment) = cost(S to t1) + cost (t1 to t2) + cost (t2 to t3) + cost (t3 to D).
I think it would work, Also I will really appreciate that if any from dev provide better option to solve this problem.
Thanks And Regards
Sumit Pandit.
