You use this function to create and change loading appointments for deliveries to a warehouse that uses SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling.
You can schedule a loading appointment directly in the SAP Dock Appointment Scheduling system of the warehouse, as long as there is free capacity in the time slot and you are outside the restricted planning period. You can also create loading appointments without scheduled time or loading points in the docking location of the warehouse. These appointments must be updated with the time of the appointment before they are fully planned.
You can also update the details of your planned loading appointments. You can change the time of planned loading appointments, or cancel planned loading appointments directly in the system, as long as you are outside the restricted planning period of the appointment.
Once within the restricted planning period, you can update the details of an existing loading appointment only. During this period, you must contact the warehouse directly to create or cancel a loading appointment, or to change the time of a loading appointment.
Once the vehicle has arrived at the warehouse, you cannot make any changes to the loading appointment.
The carrier has been defined in the warehouse’s system.
You have an external user in the warehouse’s system.
You have the role Appointment Planner for Carrier in Dock Appointment Scheduling
in the warehouse’s system.
