[Transport 360](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/transport-360?hsLang=en) # Scheduling ## This article explains how to schedule transport bookings in Transport360 using the optimisation solver. **Step 1: Locking Bookings in OBS**   The first step in scheduling bookings, is to lock the day of bookings in OBS. Locking the bookings in OBS initiates the sync of bookings between OBS (Orcoda Booking System) and Transport 360. - **How to Lock:** Navigate to the **Day’s Bookings** page and click the **LOCK BOOKINGS** link . ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-11-12-4279-AM.png?width=1827&height=666&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-11-12-4279-AM.png) - **Select Region:** Choose the specific region you want to process and click the **Lock Bookings** button. - **What Happens Next:** Once locked, event details can no longer be edited in OBS (though you can still cancel/delete bookings if needed). - **Late Bookings:** If a booking is added *after* the day is locked, it will appear in **blue** in OBS and will automatically move to the **UNASSIGNED** folder in OLMS for manual handling.   **Step 2: Planning Your Day with Scenarios** In Transport 360, you don't work on the live runsheet immediately. Instead, you use a **Scenario**—a safe planning environment to test different vehicle and route configurations. - **Automatic Upload:** Once OBS bookings are locked, the orders are uploaded into a scenario. - **Data Validation:** During this upload, the system automatically assigns Site Times, Load/Unload times, and Time Windows based on saved customer attributes. - **Organizing Your View:** Use the **Planning** panel to view your **Inbox** (all orders) and drag them into the planning grid.   **Step 3: Using the Solver for Automated Scheduling** The "Solver" is the engine that does the heavy lifting of assigning dozens of orders to the right vehicles. - **Lock Runs -** You can use the Lock Runs function to lock out specific runs from being used in the Solve Scenario tool. ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-04-21-2355-AM.png?width=1626&height=563&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-04-21-2355-AM.png) - **Solve Scenario:** Use the **Solve Scenario** action to automatically allocate all unassigned orders into the most efficient runs based on capacity and timing. ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-05-10-1463-AM.png?width=1558&height=693&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-05-10-1463-AM.png) - **Solve Run:** If you only want to optimize the route for a specific vehicle, use the **Solve Run** action instead. ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-05-51-7378-AM.png?width=1500&height=593&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-05-51-7378-AM.png)   **Step 4: Refinement and Fatigue Management** After the solver proposes a plan, you can refine it to meet specific operational needs or legal requirements. - **Adding Breaks:** You can manually add breaks within a run by selecting an order and clicking **Actions → Add Break**. ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-08-04-3046-AM.png?width=1828&height=705&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-08-04-3046-AM.png) - **Fatigue Policy:** The system can apply **Standard Breaks** per the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL) or allow you to configure **Custom Breaks** based on company policy. - **Manual Overrides:** You can move orders between runs or use the **Resequence** tool to adjust the order of stops.   **Step 5: Publishing the Runsheet** Once the plan is optimized and free of violations, it is time to make it official for your drivers. - **Final Check:** Review the **Scenario Summary** to check for any violations or unassigned orders. - **Assign Drivers** - Use the **"Manage Drivers"** tool to assign drivers to runs. ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-09-27-2664-AM.png?width=1821&height=609&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-09-27-2664-AM.png) - **Publish Scenario:** Select **Publish Scenario**. You can publish the entire day or untick specific runs that aren't ready yet. ![](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-10-07-2805-AM.png?width=670&height=264&name=image-png-Mar-17-2026-12-10-07-2805-AM.png) - **Go Live:** Clicking **Publish** moves the data to the official runsheet date, removes the scenario from your planning panel, and updates the order status for the drivers.   - [Transport 360](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/transport-360?hsLang=en#main-content) - [User Guides](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/transport-360?hsLang=en#user-guides) - [Orcoda Bookings System (OBS)](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-bookings-system-obs?hsLang=en#main-content) - [OBS Uerguides](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-bookings-system-obs?hsLang=en#obs-uerguides) - [Orcoda Care](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-care?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Userguides](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-care?hsLang=en#userguides) - [Orcoda Driver App](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-driver-app?hsLang=en) - [Orcoda Connect](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-connect?hsLang=en#main-content) - [Orcoda Connect Admin](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en/orcoda-connect?hsLang=en#orcoda-connect-admin) [![Chill listening crop-3](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/hs-fs/hubfs/ORCODA_Inline_Logo_App_RGB.png?width=131&height=24&name=ORCODA_Inline_Logo_App_RGB.png "Chill listening crop-3")](https://knowledge.orcoda.com/en?hsLang=en) Orcoda Help Centre Copyright © 2026, ORCODA
