If multiple non-unique order items exist, N4 displays an error message and the user must select the appropriate order item. For more information on the Order Item Not Unique check box, see the Booking Rules tab.
For a Receive Export (RE) or Deliver Empty (DM) gate transaction, when a clerk selects the Booking Item, the existing equipment order item data will pre-populate in the following fields,
Reefer-Add/Edit

If these fields are also displayed on the gate form.
Notes
You must include this field in the gate form if you want N4 to automatically fill in the Reefer, Hazard, and OOG details from the booking. See also, Booking/Order - Tran Type.
If you include this field in the gate form for a gate transaction type, do not include the SelectOrderItemForDlvCtr business task in the gate configuration for the gate transaction type.

If you use the SelectExportContainer business task, XPS will select the best available dray-off export container in the yard based on the value entered in the Booking Number field.
If the Booking Number field does not display a list of values with the line operator
If a line operator allows duplicate booking numbers and multiple orders with the same number are present, the Booking Number field does not display a list of values with the line operator or Vessel Visit to help you identify the correct order. Therefore, Navis recommends that you add the Line ID field to the gate form before the Booking Number field.
However, if N4 finds duplicate booking numbers, such as an EDO and ERO for same line operator, then N4 displays the Duplicates Found - Please Select From The List form asking the clerk to select the correct booking. This form displays the Number, Sub Type, Facility, Line Op, and Ves. Visit fields for the duplicate bookings found.
Pre-populated fields
If the following fields are included in the gate form, the existing data is automatically filled in when a gate clerk enters an order number in the Booking Number field:

If the EDO is created at the Complex scope level, the list does not display facility name in the parenthesis.

If the Cargo BL Item (on page 1) field is also included in the form, N4 displays the BL items associated with the selected BL. If there is only one BL Item defined for the selected BL, N4 automatically fills in the Cargo BL Item field.
Similarly, if the Cargo Delivery Order (on page 1) field is included in the gate form, N4 restricts the BL numbers available for the user to select.
When you receive a break-bulk unit against a BL, N4 copies the O/B Carrier Visit and the POD of the BL to the unit and the gate transaction.
Displays a lookup field for the user to select the Bill of Lading Item Number for the break-bulk gate transaction type. If the selected bill of lading (on page 1) has only one BL Item, N4 automatically displays the BL Item in this field. N4 lists BL items even after the associated cargo lots have departed.
Displays a lookup field for the user to select the Delivery Order Number for the break-bulk gate transaction type. If the Cargo Delivery Order Item (on page 1) field is also included in the gate form, N4 displays the delivery order items associated with the selected delivery order.

Cargo Item Quantity (Bl Item quantity will be auto populated here)
Cargo Appointment Qty (user needs to enter the value here)
the value of the Cargo Appointment Qty entered in the Appointment form is populated in the Gate form's Cargo Item Quantity field.

Displays a text field for the user to enter the chassis number in an appointment form.

When you add this field in the Appt Tran Type form (on page 1) at the Appointment stage in your gate configuration and mark it as ‘Required’, N4 displays the Hazardous check box in the Appointment form (on page 1). Mark the Hazardous check box if you are creating an appointment for a hazardous container against a booking that is also hazardous.
For N4 to validate the appointment, you should have included the gate business task RejectTranNotMatchingHazardBooking at the Appointment stage (on page 1) for Receive Export (RE) transactions.
For details on how this validation works when you create an appointment using the Gate forms in N4 or through API, see Create and validate an appointment if a booking is hazardous.
