# Set up a location for delivery trips

The way a location is set up affects the actions required to complete the delivery trip management process.

When you open the **Delivery Trip Management** page to assign orders to delivery trips, you must enter a location filter. In addition to filtering the available outbound documents, the program also uses the location's delivery trip setup to determine the process through which delivery trips are completed.

Unlike other location settings that become permanent once activity is recorded for the location, you can change a location's delivery trip settings after ledger entries have been made, if necessary.

To use the delivery trip functionality, activate it on the location card.

## Steps - To activate delivery trips

1. In the search box, enter **Locations**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the location where you want to enable delivery trips. On the **Home** tab, in the **Manage** group, choose **Edit**.
3. On the **Delivery Trips** FastTab, select **Use Delivery Trips (Sales)**, **Use Delivery Trips (Purchase)**, or **Use Delivery Trips (Transfer)** to enable delivery trips for outbound sales orders, outbound purchase return orders, and outbound transfer orders.

## Steps - To use delivery trip picking

1. In the search box, enter **Locations**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the location where you want to enable delivery trip picking. On the **Home** tab, in the **Manage group**, choose **Edit**.
3. On the **Delivery Trips** FastTab, fill in the **Delivery Trip Picking** field with the method by which you want to record delivery trip picks.
4. If you want the program to automatically generate a pick for delivery trip shorts, select the **Maintain Pick for Shorts** field.

## Steps - To enable truck loading

If the location is designated as an automated data capture picking location, you can enable additional truck loading features.

1. In the search box, enter **Locations**, and then choose the related link.
2. Select the location where you want to enable truck loading. On the **Home** tab, in the **Manage** group, choose **Edit**.
3. On the **Delivery Trips** FastTab, select the **Use ADC for Truck Loading** field.
4. Set up loading docks within the location. See [Set up loading docks](/business-central/docs/bc-food-set-up-loading-docks).
