Override transfer schedule between nodes

You can override the transfer schedule by setting the yfs.overrideTransferScheduleForProc property to true.

You can override transfer schedule in the following ways.

By using a carrier service

You can configure a carrier service for Node Transfer Schedule. If configured, then for the transit time and date calculations, the configured carrier service is used instead of transfer schedule.

For example, consider a transfer schedule that is defined between the Nashua and Boston warehouses with the carrier service as Ground with the following conditions:
  • Both warehouses work 5 days a week with Saturday and Sunday being off.
  • Both nodes work from 08:00 to 20:00 hrs.
  • Transfer schedule ship days are Monday through Friday with cut off time as 17:00 hrs.
  • Transit time between nodes is 48 hours.
  • Product availability at Nashua warehouse is onhand.
  • Execution date is April 4th, 2024 15:00 hrs.
  • Carrier service is Ground.
  • Carrier service transit time is 2 days.
  • Carrier service transfers Monday through Friday.
  • Carrier service delivers Monday through Friday.
  • Carrier pick up schedule at Nashua warehouse is 19:00 hrs Monday through Friday.

In this example, the product is shipped from the Nashua warehouse on Thursday, 4 April 2023 at 19:00 hrs and arrives at the Boston warehouse on Monday, 8 April 2023 at 19:00 hrs.

Note: The transfer, delivery, and pick up schedules for the carrier service must match the calendar of the warehouses.
