    Appt. Slot Type
    Specify whether this slot is for unloading inbound material, loading outbound material, or both.
    • If the Appt. Slot Type is Inbound, then the Add Linked PO and Add Linked ASN fields will be enabled and the Add Linked SO will be disabled.
    • If the Appt. Slot Type is Outbound, then the Add Linked SO will be enabled and the Add Linked PO and Add Linked ASN fields will be disabled.
    • If the Appt. Slot Type is Both, then all three Add Linked fields will be enabled.
    Planned Arrival Date
    Specify the planned arrival date.
    Planned Departure Date

    Note: Neither Planned Arrival Date nor Planned Departure Date may fall before the appointment’s planned arrival date or fall after the appointment’s planned departure date, specified. Slot records for a particular appointment cannot have planned arrival and departure dates that overlap with other slot records. The order of the planned dates must match the order of the slot based on the slot sequence.
