Gate operations includes more than just processing a truck at a gate. In N4, you also manage the data required prior to processing a truck, such as bills of lading, bookings, orders, pre-advises, and appointments. Generally, the primary gate actions are:
Maintaining data for containers that will be processed through a gate.
Processing trucks and the associated gate transactions.
Monitoring gate lanes and maintaining gate transactions.
You can also process trucks and the associated gate transactions for more than one facility in a complex, such as for a centrally located clerk in a complex, and inter-facility transfers between facilities in a complex.
