ASNATH - Appointment delta threshold for future appointments

Type: Threshold

CHE Types: ASCs

Description: For stacks where the earliest appointment is in the future, this sets the threshold for the difference between the earliest appointment time of the stack and the incoming container's appointment time (appointment delta).

Stacks with appointment deltas below this threshold have 'near future appointments' and thereby receive the ASNAPN penalty factor. This includes any delta with negative hours, since a negative result will be less than the threshold. 

Stacks with appointment deltas equal or above this threshold have 'far future appointments' and thereby receive the ASNAPF penalty factor

Default: 8
