# Assign default delivery routes to transfer routes

You can assign a default delivery route to a transfer route. When a transfer order is created for a particular transfer-from and transfer-to location, the program automatically assigns the default delivery route defined for that combination of locations, provided the document has a shipment date for which the delivery route is enabled. Set up the relevant delivery routes before performing this activity.

> [!NOTE]
> Notes
> 
> Before you assign default delivery routes to transfer routes, activate delivery trips for each location that will have a delivery route.

## Steps

1. In the search box, enter **Transfer Routes**, and then choose the related link.
2. On the **Transfer Routes** page, on the **Options** FastTab, specify which codes to show in the **Transfer Routes Matrix** page.
3. On the **Actions** tab, in the **General** group, choose **Show Matrix**. The **Transfer Routes Matrix** page opens.

The matrix is divided into two parts: the transfer-from locations on the left and the transfer-to locations on the right. The contents of the matrix are based on the selected transfer route specification.
4. Choose a cell in the matrix that represents a combination of transfer-to and transfer-from locations that will have a delivery route. The **Trans. Route Spec.** page appears.
5. In the **Default Delivery Route No.** field, select the desired delivery route.
