Business Context and Use

You can use the Check In Vehicle Appointment synchronous inbound operation to register the arrival of a vehicle at the checkpoint of the yard. The status of the vehicle appointment becomes “active” in the yard for further processing, such as loading or unloading of the vehicle. Example : A vehicle arrives at the checkpoint of the yard and the gate keeper finds the related vehicle appointment. If everything is fine with the vehicle, the gate keeper allows the vehicle to check in.
