Re-incrementing a route is a procedure that will 'renumber' a route in a set increment - such as by 10's or 5's. As stops get added between other stops and the numbers become close together, it is a good idea to re-increment the route so that additional stops can be added between 2 others.
For example: If I have 8 stops on a route, I may start with their numbering like this:
As I sign up new customers, and start inserting them between stops - using sequence numbers like 11,13,14, etc, then there will not be any additional unique sequence numbers left. By running re-incrementing, the route will then be renumbered 10,20,30, etc (if using 10) or 5,15,15,20,etc (if using 5's).
Re-incrementing can be done 2 ways: through the Route Manager (if you have access) or through the menu option Re-Incrementing Route Sequences.
The route manager is a comprehensive procedure that can be used for different types of routing changes such as: moving a group of stops from one day to a different day, merging routes together, splitting routes, renumbering routes (reset sequence numbers in increments of 10 or 5, etc), and sequencing routes in a different order.
In this section, we will cover re-incrementing a route. Click here for additional information on the Route Manager.
From the Operations Menu, select the Route Manager option #8. The Route Manager selection screen will be displayed
Since only the route sequence numbers will be changed, you do not need to fill in the 'To Route' information, only the top company and frequency and From Route information need to be filled out.
Press the 
button or F9 to re-increment the route. The
stops will be renumbered in the increment amount that is set in the Systems
Control Master in the Company Master file - the default is 10. Click
here to see how to change this field.
Once the route has been re-incremented, save your changes by pressing
the 
button or F11. You will get a message asking you
to confirm the changes.
Click on Yes or No to put a 
in the circle. Press Enter
to continue. Once you press Enter, the changes are made in the customer's
account
From the Operations Menu, select the Re-Increment Route Sequence option #9. The Route Sequence Re-Incrementing selection screen will be displayed.
Fill in the screen with the Company, Day and Route to re-increment (leave company blank if your routes cross company lines). Update the Route sequence increment if needed, and select either only routing cycles or all cycles. This last option refers to whether a cycle is included in routing in the Cycle Master, some cycles are NOT included in routing (cancelled cycles), so you may want these excluded.
Once the fields have been filled in, press Enter to continue. You will
get a message on the bottom of the screen: 
. Click the 
button or F5 to continue. You will then get a message that
your request has been submitted. Click the 
button to continue.
