Document order queue
After submitting a document order, the order will be placed in the document order queue. Every 15 minutes all the containers (connected to submitted document orders) will be checked if they are present or not. If present the container, the document type and document number will be added to the container in the terminal system. If not, the order stays in the document order queue.
