Purpose

This article provides an overview of how a location's OCS order calendar honors location delivery days set in the Static Schedule.
 

Overview

This feature brings the VMS's order calendar in line with Link by honoring a location's delivery days from the Static Schedule - if an OCS location's Static Schedule is limited to certain service days, the Create Order page for that location will follow the same restrictions, and only allow the days that are set for service in the Static Schedule to be selectable when creating an OCS order. 

If nothing is set for the service schedule, all dates will be available when creating an OCS order for that location.
 

Process

1. Navigate to the OCS tab for the desired location.
   
2. Under the Static Schedule in the Service row, set the service days as desired by checking the box(es) for the day(s) of the week on which there is to be service.
   
3. Navigate to the OCS / Create Order page, and select the applicable Account/Location/Station from the dropdowns to create an order for the location.
   
   1. Hovering over the question mark icon will bring up a tooltip, explaining that the available dates are provided by the Managed Location's OCS Static Schedule.
      
4. Click the calendar icon to set the service date.
   1. The available dates on the OCS Create Order calendar will be filtered by the location's Static Schedule - only the selected service dates will be available. In this example, since only Monday, Tuesday, and Friday were checked as Service dates for the location in the Static Schedule, only those days are selectable when creating the OCS order.
      
5. Now that the OCS order calendar matches the service dates on the Static Schedule, this will be reflected in Parlevel Link; when adding an item, the available delivery dates will be filtered by that same schedule. (Available dates honor the service dates in the location's Static Schedule; other dates are not selectable.)
