Field NameDescriptionSecondary LookupA second reference that can be used for sorting or grouping route stops.Customer Route ID

This field can be used with Customer Stop ID and Customer Account ID to track data regarding a customer's internal reference data relating to a given route and its stops. 

Example

Used in an imported record needs to make note of the shipping partner's names. 

BOL

BOL, or Bill Of Lading, is used for grouping.

Tip

Nextstop consolidation replaces the use of BOL.

Example for X Mobile

You have a route that runs in downtown Phoenix and services 4 different customers, but you don't want to have 4 different routes, and prefer to have 1 route with co-mingled route stops for all 4 customers.  However, your driver needs to have a parcel chain of custody for the imported work to give the shipper visibility to when the freight is loaded onto the truck and when it is delivered - this means 4 separate Load Stops for each customer.  A BOL on the ContractStop level can be used to set a grouping value that will allow the driver to take bulk action on all 4 route stops at once without having to open each route stop, find the right parcels to scan while loading the truck, and add separate POD/signature info for each stop.
