Gantt/Calendar view for Delivery Note/Delivery Trip #26664

First, my apologies if this has been requested.

I am looking to extend my ERPNext as Warehouse Management System, and also a basic Fleet Management System. I have read the thread on ERPNext forum a few years back on the development of Vehicles, Delivery Note, etc., DocTypes.

In Manufacturing domain, calendar/gantt view are available for Work Order, Job Card and other DocType. It seems that the Delivery Note or Delivery Trip DocType could have a calendar/gantt view for a clean overview on the delivery schedule and driver assignment.

I believe that the Estimated Time of Arrival in Delivery Trip can be utilised to determine the end time while the departure time can be used as the start time. Perhaps adding a ±30 minutes range in the Estimated Arrival to allow leeway for traffic congestion. In the calendar/gantt view, user can also see the driver as well as vehicle assigned to the delivery trip.

This additional view enables users not only to have a clear overview on the delivery schedule, but also create new delivery trips in the calendar, similar to how we can create events in the Calendar in Tools.

This feature has also been mentioned here.

Currently, I am able to schedule the Delivery Trips to different Users. However, the tasks created are all at 12am to 2am, without capturing the departure time of Delivery Trip.
