Dispatch Area Setup

Define Areas

NIMS allows you to setup an advanced delivery area based on plantation areas. Just like the Nursery structure the dispatch area structure allows for setting up a 4 tiered delivery structure. However sometimes you require additional information such as plantation sizes. In this example we use the 4th level to describe how this can be done.

FieldDescription
CustomerSelect a customer that you have setup under the registers
OrderThis field can be used for setting the order on reports
Section1Set the name of your level 1 tier for each customer
Section 2Set the name of your level 2 tier per customer
Section 3Set the name of your level 3 tier per customer
Section 4 Set the name of your level 4 tier per customer

In the example above we really only have two tiers – the plantation and the compartment. The first two levels are used to give us a plantation name and identification number and the third and 4 levels are used for compartments for each plantation and the hectares of each compartment.

Capture Areas

Section 2Plantation IDIn this example there will be only one level 2 tier for each level 1 tier
Section 3CompartmentEnter the name for each of the level 3 tiers. In this case you will have numerous level 3 tiers for each level 2 tier
