Tradesimple: Delivery Logic for Non-Working Days

Overview

Non-Working days files are used in conjunction with Delivery Days to dictate what days units can request deliveries on for specific suppliers.

The files are a simple list of dates on which the supplier is 'Not Working'.
This has two implications:

• The supplier will not make any deliveries on that day
• The supplier will not process any orders on that day - adding another day to any existing lead time

File Format

Non-Working days are typically weekends and Bank Holidays but are completely configurable.
Each line in a Non-Working days file will contain one date, formatted DD/MM/YYYY.

Presuming a supplier will not make any deliveries on Christmas/New Year's Days 2017/18, the Non-Working days file would look like this:

25/12/2017
01/01/2018

The files often contain dates spanning several years into the future, seeing as weekends and Bank Holidays can be easily mapped out.
