5) Also we have possible routes of plying as :

  • ROUTE B: Nottingham, Melbourne





  • I want to figure out what model i need prepare my data set to achieve below:
  • How to identify combinations stock (mark them as Allocated in data set after allocation) and idntify what number of trucks i will require ?

**We can use FIFO methodology to prioritize the product combination on basis on bill date.

Centaur.
