Business Context and Use

The Disconnect Vehicle Appointment inbound operation receives a request to the Site Logistics Processing process component to disconnect transportation unit appointments from a vehicle appointment. This operation is needed when a planner wants to disconnect transportation units from a vehicle. For example, the planner intends to disconnect a road trailer from a road vehicle, or railway cars from a locomotive. In these cases, the planner must disconnect the transportation unit appointments from the vehicle appointment.

Example

A planner wants to optimize the scheduling of warehouse doors. If a vehicle that should be unloaded at door 1 has several transportation units connected to it, the planner can use the Disconnect Vehicle Appointment operation to disconnect the vehicle appointment from the transportation unit appointments. Then one transportation unit can be unloaded at door 1, and the planner can start planning the unloading of the next transportation unit at a different warehouse door.
