Customer Route Groups (CRG) are numbers that can be assigned to customer records to group them for sales, reporting and routing purposes.
By assigning a single CRG to a mobile unit record, for example, only customers belonging to that CRG will be visible on the route sales person's mobile, which speeds up how quickly they can find their current stop from within their customer list.
A customer can only be assigned to a single CRG. However, multiple CRGs can be assigned to a single mobile unit record, and a single CRG can be allocated to multiple mobile unit records, allowing for greater flexibility in assigning customers to route salespeople.
