This node can be used to to optimize distribution. It can model flows from the warehouses up to the customers. It is also possible to regard capacity restrictions (weight, volume) in warehouses.

For this node three input tables are needed. Two input tables are mandatory - Customers and Warehouses, and the third one - Transport costs adjustment (rules) is optional, but in order to node works all ports must be connected.

The first table contains all the information concerning the customers.
The second table contains the information of the warehouses.
The third table is used to customize the transportation costs between warehouses and customers by defining adjustment factors and flat on top fees. The table is structured to provide users with flexibility in defining rules based on specific criteria. It is possible to specify the relation between warehouses and customers by entering their respective ISO2 countries or names. The asterisk logic can be used to apply rules to all possible entries of a particular column by using a "*".

Please specify the distance unit, weight and volume unit, vehicle type, street level, min and max warehouses parameters in the configuration dialogue.

In case input and output data need to be saved on the Log-hub Platform, please set save scenario flag to true, fill the workspace id for the workspace in which the scenario should be saved, and give name to the scenario. In case existing scenario should be overwritten, set the overwrite scenario flag also to true, otherwise leave to false.

To use this node you need an API Key from Log-hub Supply Chain Apps. This key you can generate with an Supply Chain Apps Pro Account. More information you can find on www.log-hub.com.
