LOAD {<expression>}

Description

Selects a location whenever a LOAD request is issued at the destination location. Since a loading entity does not fill capacity, there is no need to check for available capacity at the destination. Multiple LOAD requests are filled according to the oldest waiting request with the highest priority.

Valid In

The rule field of the Routing edit table only.

Components
