Inbound or Outbound Load Appointments: How Back In Date and Time is calculated

I had the developer look into the code on this and how a Back In Date is calculated.

1. If an appointment is checked in and there are no arrived trucks waiting to unload at the door that the appointment has been assigned to, it is coded to add 5 minutes from the Check In Date and Time to time-stamp a Back In Date and Time. It is coded to assume it would take the driver an average of 5 minutes to check in and then get to the door they were loading or unloading at.

2. If an appointment is checked in and there are arrived trucks already at the assigned door waiting to load or unload, then there is no Back In Date and Time assigned until the truck in front of the driver has their appointment completed. It will then add 10 minutes from the previous trucks complete time and time stamp that appointment as their Back In Date and Time. It will only time stamp the next truck in order and not all the trucks in line. They add 10 minutes because they are assuming that is the average time it takes a truck to get unloaded and then put away tarps, chains, lumber etc and leave.

There are a few docks company wide that don't follow these exact rules; but this is in general how it works.
