Oracle Yard Management provides you with the following documents, reports, and requests for your different business needs:
Every request for label printing creates a history record. You can analyze records of the label requests that have been generated. The history contains the XML data that was generated as part of the label request as well as other information regarding that label request. You can query the history of requests based on any of the relevant attributes of the request. You can also resubmit the label request. You can query, view, and resubmit label requests using the Label Requests History window.
Report Submission
On the Find Label Requests window, enter the search criteria to find the desired label requests. Select from the following search criteria to reduce your search results: request information (such as user, printer, and request status) and/or label information (such as organization, item, and subinventory). Click Find to view your search results.
Use the Shipping Reports and Documents window to find shipping documents that are generated during outbound activities such as loading a trailer or ship confirmation.

Use the Yard Moves and Notifications request to automatically move equipment in the yard and generate alerts as required. For example, you can provide the required parameters and use this concurrent request:
To move equipment to the dock door from a waiting area just before the appointment start time
To move equipment to a cleaning area when the equipment status is updated to clean

The following reports provide valuation by cost group or by asset subinventory for the selected date range:
Inventory Value Report - by Cost Group
Inventory Value Report - by Subinventory
Note: These reports are only applicable if the yard is enabled for costing.

Schedule this concurrent program to run periodically (for example, every 5 minutes) to update the dock appointment status. This is required to detect appointment exceptions which are then displayed on the Dock Scheduling window.
Oracle Yard Management provides a default label type called Yard Equipment to support multi-record formats for seals and contents (similar to the LPN Contents or Shipping Content labels). This label includes fields such as Appointment End Time, Checkin Area, Checkin Time, Equipment Status, Load status, Shipment Number, and many other equipment–related fields. Assign this label type to business flows such as check-in or check-out flows using the Assign Label Types to Business Flows window.
