Arrival at/Departure from Checkpoint 

Purpose

The checkpoint is where you register the vehicles and transportation units (TUs) that arrive in or leave the yard, by setting the status for the arrival at the checkpoint or departure from the checkpoint. Registering vehicles and TUs that arrive in the yard is a prerequisite for Yard Movements.

Prerequisites

See Yard Management.
