Business Context and Use

The Create Dock Appointment inbound operation is used to plan or execute the docking of a transportation unit to a door. A dock appointment is created to plan the loading or unloading of a transportation unit at a door. If a transportation unit is docked at a door, a dock appointment is created and activated, or the planned dock appointment for this transportation unit appointment is activated by setting the start processing time. The dock appointment is deactivated by setting the end processing time if the transportation unit is removed from the door.

A dock appointment cannot be changed, however, it can be cancelled.

Related Operations

The related compensation operation that cancels dock appointments is the Cancel Dock Appointment operation.

If you want to work with asynchronous rather than synchronous operations, you can use the asynchronous Create Dock Appointment  inbound operation. The Confirm Create Dock Appointment  (asynchronous) outbound operation sends a response to the request of the (asynchronous) Create Dock Appointment inbound operation.

The  Notify of Dock Appointment Creation operation is used to notify third-party systems about the creation of a dock appointment.

Features

You use the Create Dock Appointment operation to send a request to Site Logistics Processing for the creation of a dock appointment relating to a transportation unit appointment.

The operation requires the following data as input:

  • Start and end of the planned start processing period

  • Start and end of the planned end processing period

  • Warehouse door ID (this is a combination of the warehouse number and the door)

  • Yard resource appointment ID of the transportation unit appointment

If successful, the operation returns a log that includes the dock appointment and the assigned transportation unit appointment.

Dock appointment data includes the dock appointment ID, planned processing period, processing period, locking information, and the yard bin and the warehouse bin of the door. The returned data also contains the transportation unit appointment that is assigned to the door appointment with its processing periods.
