In N4, you can unload cargo lots from a train or a railcar to a valid yard position. You can select multiple cargo lots on the train and unload them to a single yard position.

Prerequisites for unloading a cargo lot from a railcar

A train visit in the Working phase.
An Import bill of lading (on page 1).
A bill of lading item (on page 1) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
A cargo lot on the train.

To unload selected cargo lot(s) from a railcar:

In the Cargo Lots view (on page 1), select the cargo lot(s) that you want to unload from the railcar. The selected cargo lot(s) must be on the same train visit; however, they can be at different positions on the train. In addition, the selected cargo lot must not be a default cargo lot.

Select Actions Unload Unload Train.
In the Cargo De-Ramp form:

Enter a valid Yard Position.

If you do not want to unload the entire cargo lot, edit the value in the Quantity field to specify the quantity that you want to unload to the specified yard position.

However, N4 does not display the Quantity field if you select multiple cargo lots in the list view or if you select an identified cargo lot.

Click Save.

When you successfully unload a cargo lot from a railcar, N4:

Creates one record in the Cargo Lots view with:

Unit Nbr = Unit Nbr of the new unit created in the Units view.
Quantity = Total quantity of the selected cargo lot(s).
Position = Yard Position specified in the Cargo De-Ramp form.
Lot Type = Yard
Lot Position = Yard Position specified in the Cargo De-Ramp form.

Retires the existing unit in the Units view and creates a new unit with:

T-state = Yard
Position = Yard Position specified in the Cargo De-Ramp form.
Cargo Quantity = Total quantity of the selected cargo lot(s).

Records the following events against the Unit record:

One CARGO_DERAMP event for each of the selected cargo lots. If a cargo work order is available for the cargo item, N4 records this event against the cargo work order and also updates the Qty Completed and Status columns for the cargo work order item.
One UNIT_DERAMP event.
