Description
The business task rejects a gate transaction if the Appointment Requested Date (for the appointment stage) or the current date (for the gate stage) is earlier than the Begin Delivery date and time, if specified, for the vessel visit associated with the selected unit. You can view the Begin Delivery date and time on the Timing tab in the Edit Vessel Visit Details form.
If you use the create-appointment API to create appointments for your site, and the API request does not include a container number, the business task can use the bill of lading, specified in the import-release-nbr element in the API call, to validate the first availability date or the Begin Delivery date based on the inbound carrier associated with the specified bill of lading.
Parameters
None
Dependencies
None
Timing
For gate transactions, such as Receive Export or Receive Empty, N4 processes tasks when you click the Save Transaction button on the gate transaction section of the <GateStage> tab (on page 1).
For appointments, N4 processes business tasks on two occasions:
If the business task is included in the Include column, N4 processes it when you click Save in the Appointment form (on page 1).
If the business task is included in the Include Dispatch column, N4 processes it when you click Save after associating the appointment with a truck visit appointment.
Custom Code
Any custom code associated with the business task is executed following the execution of this business task and has no impact on it.
Rejects a transaction if the vessel visit for the export container is missing, and N4 cannot find a mapping rule for the export container or N4 cannot find a vessel visit for the export container using the mapping rule. For more information on mapping rules, see Route Resolver Rules form (on page 1).
The gate clerk must specify the line operator and either the port of discharge or second port of discharge for the container for N4 to search for a matching vessel visit using a mapping rule.
