Users can auto-create empty pickup movements and empty return movements by providing the relevant information for the empty container.

An empty pickup movement is a movement that transports an empty container from its current site to another site.
An empty return movement is a movement that transports an empty container from its current site back to its starting site. For example, if a container is loaded with product and transported from Austin to Dallas, an empty return movement tracks the empty container being transported back to Austin.

At most, there can only be one empty pickup/return movement associated with a single container move. The following components are involved in this feature:

Transportation Policies
Bookings UI and Bookings Details UI
Container View Report
Electronic Data Interchange (EDI)
Pre-Booked Container Option
