This tutorial is regarding the generation of “Reverse Open Path" for your runs.
“Revere Open Path" will result in the systems prioritizing of the furthest stop back to depot.
It is typically being used for collecting items from various stops back to the depot to minimize fuel wastage due to weight of the load.
