Stops not geocoded (will not be routed)

Find the stop and update the address to geocode correctly. See Fixing Non-Geocoded Stops for more help geocoding stops.

Territories with No Assigned Routes
Find an appropriate route and add the territory to the route.
Territories with unmet skill requirements
Find a route with the correct skill needed and assign it to the territory.
Stops bigger than any appropriate asset assigned
Either assign an asset with more capacity to the territory or edit the shipment to reduce its demand.
