Results of Scheduling
The results of scheduling that you aim for in route determination are defined as listed in the following tables. Here the following applies:
If route determination is executed automatically in the background, the system only displays the departure and arrival of the trip at header level.
When you simulate route determination, the system displays all the dates/times and durations listed below.

|---|---|
Trip cutoff time (date/time) |
The scheduling start is the current time, unless you have specified a different value when simulating route determination. The system then calculates the cutoff time of the trip from the scheduling start and the cutoff time of the route by using the later of the two dates/times. The cutoff time of the route is calculated from the order creation time plus the lead time that you have defined for the route on the basis of the request type. The order creation time is the current time, unless you have specified a different value when simulating route determination. |
Trip departure (date/time) |
The departure of the trip is calculated from the cutoff time of the trip, taking into account the departure calendar of the start location. (This is the departure calendar for the relevant leg dependent on the request type, or the shipping calendar of the location.) |
Trip arrival (date/time) |
The arrival of the trip is calculated from the departure of the trip plus the transportation duration of the trip, taking into account the arrival calendar of the destination location (receiving calendar of the location). The transportation duration of the trip is the total of all transportation and transshipment durations for all legs in the trip. |

|---|---|
Trip arrival (date/time) |
The arrival of the trip is calculated from the end that you specified during the simulation of route determination, taking into account the arrival calendar of the destination location. |
Trip departure (date/time) |
The departure of the trip is calculated from the arrival of the trip minus the transportation duration of the trip, taking into account the departure calendar of the start location. If the time calculated is before the cutoff time, the system puts the time back into the past by the relevant lead time. |

|---|---|
Transportation duration for the leg |
The transportation duration of the leg is calculated from the total of the transportation durations between the relevant locations, taking into account the relevant transportation calendar. In the case of transportation durations, they can be estimates. |
Transshipment duration for the leg |
The transshipment duration of the leg is the period of time of the transshipment, taking into account the minimum goods wait time. |

Leg departure (date/time) |
In the case of the first leg, the departure of the leg is the same as the trip departure. For each additional leg, it is calculated from the transshipment end, taking into account the departure calendar of the transshipment location. |
Leg arrival (date/time) |
The arrival of the leg is the same as the departure of the leg plus the transportation duration of the leg, taking into account the arrival calendar of the transshipment location or destination location. |

|---|---|
Leg arrival (date/time) |
For the last leg of the trip (first leg for scheduling), the arrival of the leg is the same as the trip arrival. For each additional leg, it is the transshipment start, taking into account the arrival calendar of the transshipment location. |
Leg departure (date/time) |
The departure of the leg is the same as the arrival of the leg minus the transportation duration of the leg, taking into account the departure calendar of the start location or transshipment location. |
