- Create wave : the create button allows you to select the Wave Configuration to use to create a wave instance for the selected delivery date. When creating the wave, the system will query all the Route Configurations for the wave and then create instances of the routes for this wave. Lastly go through all the routes and query all the sales orders that are on the specific wave and route. N.B. keep in mind that the sales order will be linked to a route and wave configuration and when it is imported into the system via the Import API. Hence, the system will already know which wave and route a sales order belongs, but at this step we are simply create a wave and route instance (container) to group sales orders.
