Apply an external score increment

You can apply an external scoring value to a container or clear such a value from a container by using the scripting feature in XPS.

External ASC scoring increment influences the overall ASC solution scoring. However, it cannot ensure that a container that has been configured with a large bonus has its ASC moves dispatched ahead of another container with a lower or no scoring bonus.

Logging information pertaining to external ASC score increments is available in the ASC Optimization View window (Debug Show ASC Optimization View) and the ASC Optimization logs.

For productive (primary), housekeeping, and prepositioning moves, AYC Manager applies the scoring increment to the first job in a job solution. For rehandle moves, AYC Manager uses the score of the target container that needs to be dispatched and ignores any scoring increment for the rehandle container itself.

To apply external score increment:

1. Select File Play Script.

2. In the Choose a script file to play dialog box, select any file and click Open to bring up the Script Player.

3. In the Script Player window, click Cmd Line.

4. In the Script Command Line window, enter a command such as the following:

#ContainerSetAttribute(DLVR0000002, USRJ, "-1000")

where DLVR0000001 is the container number, USRJ is the name of the flex field, and -1000 is the value to apply (in this case a bonus).

5. Click OK.
