In addition, export containers that were preadvised to arrive at Facility 1 by train or barge and exports in yard are updated as follows:
The Dray Status (Routing tab in the Unit Inspector) is updated to Forward to Loading Point.
The Outbound Carrier of the containers at Facility 1 are updated to GEN_TRUCK.
A new unit facility visit (UFV) is created for those containers at Facility 1, with the Inbound Carrier as GEN_TRUCK.
Gate appointments created at Facility A are canceled so that the advised units are removed from Facility A and appear as advised at the new facility, Facility B.
Trucking companies must be intimated about the canceled appointments so that they arrive at the gate(s) associated with the new facility to drop-off the export containers.
You can set-up General Notices to send out notifications regarding the canceled appointments.
