Whenever a planner schedules work in Dime.Scheduler, the appointment is posted here as a staging record, which makes this table central to the Business Central integration.
The list has one action: "Process". You rarely need to run it by hand. Use it only to retry an appointment that failed to process.
Built-in event listeners process the records in this list automatically. To learn how that works, see Source types.
