References, releases, and turn-in
ContainerHub separates planning (what is expected in or out) from gate registration (the actual move). Three pieces work together:
| Concept | Path | What it is |
|---|---|---|
| References | /dashboard/depot/references | Unified list of turn-in and releases with filters |
| Releases | /dashboard/depot/releases | Authorized pick-up orders for Gate Out |
| Expected arrivals | /dashboard/depot/expected-arrivals | Turn-in detail by reference or booking |
In the sidebar, Releases and References appear under Gate.
What it solves
Avoids mixing inbound references and outbound orders in spreadsheets: operators see what is pending, fulfilled, and which Gate Out still needs a release link.
References view
At /dashboard/depot/references you can:
- View all references or filter by turn-in, release, or type.
- Search by reference number, container, or client.
- Open expected arrival or release detail depending on type.
Releases (pick-up orders)
At /dashboard/depot/releases the depot creates outbound authorization with:
- Client and order validity.
- Authorized containers or quantities.
- Status open, partial, or closed as units leave.
When recording Gate Out, link the move to the matching release; the system updates order status.
Turn-in (expected arrivals)
Expected arrivals record containers or bookings not yet gated in. Detail management: /dashboard/depot/expected-arrivals; References provides the aggregated planning view.
EIR and references
When generating the EIR PDF, ContainerHub uses the correct reference for turn-in (inbound) vs release (outbound) without cross-mixing documents.
