SC Navigator 25.11.1

Date July 28, 2025

• New Features

  • A new attribute is added to the Custom Objective sheet: Percentage Based. It enables modeling tariffs, duties, and taxes. Furthermore, two new attributes were introduced on the Transport Cost and Transport Step Cost sheets for Percentage Based Custom Objectives: Value and Rate. The cost calculation for the Percentage Based Custom Objectives will be as follows: Volume * Value * Rate + Volume * Cost per UOM.

  • The Charts tab on the Transport Navigator - Results page has been improved. Now the two top charts can also show the vehicles data (which was previously displayed in the two bottom charts). Furthermore, clicking on a location/period bar in either of the top charts will result in the bottom charts displaying the data for that location/period on a more detailed per hour basis.

  • A new ‘Add Delay’ option in the Period Selector’s right-click menu lets users slow down playback by configuring a custom delay.

  • Transport Navigator now supports mandatory driver breaks after extended continuous driving. ‘Maximum Drive Time Before Break’ sets the driving time limit, while ‘Break Time’ defines the required rest duration.

• Improvements

  • On page Results - Transport, a widget action to control whether the number of trips is rounded up, was added to the relevant tables.

  • A new result attribute ‘# of Customers Served’ is added to the Warehouse Results. This counts how many customers are served by the warehouse. It is visible in the Warehouse Throughput Usage table on the Warehouse Results page and in the Warehouse sheet of the Solution Report Excel.

  • Data Validation now marks negative values in the Rate Card Drop Size column on the Transport Cost sheet as a FATAL error.

  • The Bill of Routing table on the Production Results page now includes an Arrival Period column, when applicable.

  • Upon startup, SC Navigator will perform a complete refresh of the available datasets in the “import” file system. This means that it will remove all existing import datasets from its memory, and rescan the contents of the import file system. Additionally, the widget action Refresh Import File Systems has been added to the table with datasets, on the “Load Data” dialog, as well as the “Manage Data” page. This allow you to do a refresh on demand.

  • Unnecessary transport lane data is now removed during processing. In some cases, this can lead to significant improvements in memory consumption and performance when reading data.

  • The performance of the data validation procedures has been improved.

• Bug Fixes

  • If there was no data in the Location Period sheet, the Force Open and Close columns did not show, and the Show All Attributes widget action did not function for the Location Open/Close Data table on the Control Panel page.

  • On page Results, Arc Customization is now also applied to the Reference Map.

  • Data validation has been added in case a base case lane has a lead time shorter than the duration for that lane, or if it routes products to a destination that does not support those products.

  • The solution provided by the Transport Navigator module would sometimes not visit all customers.

  • In some cases, some data that should have been on the input Data pages, was not displayed there (although it was used in the model). This was data for which the Available flag was not set at that level. Now, the Data pages should show all input data that is in the model.

  • In the Whiteboard and Manage Data Input Excel download there were faulty Transport Navigator attributes exported which caused reading errors.

  • The “Select Reference Map” column was occasionally missing from the Results dialog.

  • On some pages, the secondary page action button covered the primary page action button.

  • The Production and Warehouse Group sheets were missing when the model was not authorized to use Transport Navigator, while the TN Vehicles sheet was included.

  • Transport Navigator would fail if you ran the model twice, but after the first run you excluded a vehicle used in the solution.

  • When comparing results data, the E2E table only displayed data for the active results.

  • When creating Production Routing scenarios, binary attributes like Force Close were treated as non-binary in the interface, preventing them from being set to ‘off’.

  • The lead time offset did not work correctly when the model contained period groups in between regular periods.

  • In some cases, the Cost To Serve and End To End cost report were not correct when using Period Offset.

  • The Production Routing Data table no longer omits the Period Offset after saving a dataset or loading a saved dataset (rather than Excel).
