PODFather Settings

This Field is used to control what format you would like to use to display the Item and Item Variant information within PODFather.  The options to select from are:

Space Separated - If you select this option, then the Item and Item Variant information will be separated with a space.  For example IT-00007 BLUE.

Hyphen Separated - If you select this option, then the Item and Item Variant information will be separated with a hyphen.  For example IT-00007-BLUE.

Variant in Brackets - If you select this option, then the Item and Item Variant information will be separated with a brackets.  For example IT-00007(BLUE).

If you Enable this Option, then when Routes are synched from Business Central to PODFather, they will be marked as Provisional.  This means that they will not be allocated to a Driver/Device straight away.

This then allows for Routes to be sent across in advanced and then manually pushed from PODFather to the Driver/Device when required.
