Delivery Snapshot Window
Delivery Snapshot Window

When you open Mercury Delivery, this window automatically opens to full screen and displays all delivery zones with the numbers of orders that are ready to be routed (all Designed and Not Designed orders), regardless of priority. To route orders, decide which delivery zones the route will include, and then select the delivery zones by clicking in the check box so that a check mark appears. You can also click Select All to select all zones. Then click Create Routes to begin the routing process.

Search Criteria Area

In the search criteria area at the top of the window, you can enter criteria to locate deliveries for a date or a date range. You can also limit your searches by store, priority (to create a route from zones that contain high priority orders), or to designed orders only.

Field Description
Store If you have only one store, this list is disabled (results will display for your store).
If you have multiple stores, select All Stores to display results for all stores, select the individual store if you only want results from one store, or select multiple stores if you want results from more than one store but not all stores.
Date The starting date for the date range. Results will be displayed for orders with delivery that are between the value in the Date field and the value in the Thru field. You can use this to locate orders that fall within a specific date range, as opposed to orders that fall just on one date, which can be particularly useful for delivery planning during holidays.
Thru The ending date for the date range. Results will be displayed for orders with delivery that are between the value in the Date field and the value in the Thru field.
If you want to restrict the search to a single day, enter the same date as in the Date field.
Priority The order priority. You can use this to find zones that contain high-priority orders and create a route for these orders.
Designed Orders Only Select this box if you want to only include orders that have been marked as designed (and therefore should be ready for delivery).

Zone Results List

The results list displays zones which contain orders for delivery that match your search criteria. If there are no completed orders for the zone, the zone will not display in the results list. Additionally, wire out, pickup, and N/A zones will not display. If a zone contains only incomplete or canceled orders, or orders with declined credit cards, the zone will likewise not display. However, orders that have been marked for redelivery or have a non-delivery code will be included in the results.

Column Description
Zone The name of the delivery zone. Only zones that are Local delivery types are displayed.
Not Designed The number of orders in the delivery zone that have not been marked designed in Order Entry, Point of Sale, or Design Center. This can include both orders that are unassigned or assigned.

Saved Routes The number of orders for the zone that are in saved routes (and have yet to be delivered).
Priority The priorty of the most important item in the zone (as designated by the Delivery Priority Code).
On Truck The number of the orders in the delivery zone that are on the truck (they are in completed routes and are in process of delivery).
Delivered The number of the orders in the delivery zone that have been marked delivered (you have marked the orders Delivered in the Truck Return window, or the driver has marked the order Delivered on their mobile phone (using either FTD Mercury Mobile (X3) or FTD Mercury Mobile Plus (X4)).
