Design Notes

When this screen is invoked from Move List, it will automatically populate the move number, customer location, and move type based on the current status of the load. The user will only need to record the arrival and/or departure times and any delay information.

The "Stop" field is view-only. The stop id determined automatically by the action selected by the user. A Pickup event will involve the move origin and a Delivery event will involve the move destination. If the load is not in the proper state to perform the event, an error message will be displayed explaining what the problem is. The vendor may have to contact dispatch to have the issue resolved.

If the trailer/container entered does not exist in the database, a warning will be issued to the user. If upon verification, the user confirms that they have entered the correct number, the Create New Equipment screen will be displayed. Upon entering the new equipment into the system, they can then proceed to perform the pickup or delivery.
