# Undock Container

:lock: Container.**Undock**

## Overview

This operation is used to decouple a **Container** from a **Resource**.
It is possible to perform this operation both from the **Container** and the **Resource** perspective.

## Setup

No special setup is required other than to meet the preconditions of the transaction.

## Preconditions

* The **Container** exists, it is Active and Available.
* The **Container** ResourceAssociationType must be *DockedCarrier*.
* The **Resource** exists, it is Active and the property *ResourceProcessingType* is set to *LoadPort*.
* The **Container** is currently associated with the **Resource**.  

## Sequence of Steps

### Step 1

1. Review the information.
2. Optionally, enter a comment.
3. If a *State Model* is defined for the **Container**, it is possible to change the state of the **Container**. If the selected state transition contains lookup reasons, it is necessary to select the *Reason*, as well.
4. Press **Undock** to complete the operation.
