Time slot management
- If you want to see a list of time slots, click the arrow next to the Bookings schedule and select Time slots.
- The time slots view shows all the slots waiting to be booked by the carrier for the selected warehouse.
- As long as the carrier has not made a booking for the issued time slot, you can edit or delete it. To do this, select the time slot from the list, click on the three dots icon and select your option.
Select FILTERS, then choose the parameters you are interested in, tick the show expired checkbox and click Show results.
When the carrier makes a booking in your warehouse using the time slot, it becomes a booking. You can find it in the bookings schedule or in the bookings list. From both views, you can navigate to the management of bookings.
Did you know that...
- in an Order, your warehouse is at an unloading or loading point,
- there is a time slot available in the warehouse within the selected date of the Order.
If both conditions are met, an icon will appear in the Time slot column (Orders module) to indicate that the time slot has been successfully added, and the carrier will receive an e-mail informing them that the time slot has been added.
If the route for the same order consists of more than one location that is your warehouse at the same time, then the order will automatically create a time slot for each of these warehouses.
The carrier can make a booking through a time slot within the time specified in that slot.
If you delete a booking that originated from a time slot, that slot will be restored. If the time slot has not expired, it is possible to make another booking. If the time has elapsed, this option is no longer available.
