|
AutoStow by work queue (on page 1) |
AutoStow selects the containers from the complete load list and determines the yard-pull sequence. |
Plans onto matching projections in a clicked-on bay using the PWP sequence. |
|
AutoStow by bay (on page 1) |
AutoStow selects the containers from the load list for the selected bays and determines the yard-pull sequence. |

If XPS displays an error or warning message, see AutoStow error and warning messages (on page 1).
Planners do have added flexibility to plan only a part of the vessel to try different strategies.
See Use AutoStow (on page 1) for more information on how to use the strategy.
To try an alternate strategy:
Select planned moves and revert them.
Select a different or modified AutoStow strategy.
Repeat the procedure, as necessary, to refine your stowage strategy. See also Review AutoStow results (on page 1).
When you are satisfied with the results, note the settings and create a duplicate strategy in your live XPS environment.
