Site Booking: Introduction and Guide

Introduction

Site booking is a calendar that allows AgriChain users to control and plan for trucks coming in and out of their sites. This is a paid feature, and users can get in touch with us at support@agrichain.com to enable order booking at their sites. 

With order booking turned on, site managers can open slots at their sites that can be booked by trucks wishing to come to the site. When order booking is enabled at a site, planned movements cannot then be made for those sites if there are no open slots. This ensures that site managers can effectively manage a site according to schedule or manage a planned outage. 

Site managers can learn more about creating a new time slot by referring to this article [Refer Article]

For customers wanting to book into slot, please refer to this article [Refer Article]. Please ensure that customers can only book a slot at a site using a valid Order Number. To modify or cancel a slot, please follow the on-screen instructions to modify or cancel an existing booking. To learn more, please refer to the article [Refer Article] 

FAQs

How do I know if Order Booking is enabled for my sites?

If order booking is enabled, only then will movement details get fetched when the order number is entered in the open slot.

Can I select whether a slot is for inload/outload only, or for a particular commodity, etc?

Site managers can specify using the various form fields while creating slots which particular commodity/grade/type the slot is applicable for a slot.

Can I open multiple slots for a site at once?

Yes. Users can elect to create a single slot or multiple slots on the same day or multiple slots across days. This can be done from the "Single Slot" option. Clicking on this, users will be able to select how many slots and for what frequency and time period they wish to create
