Guidance
The Guidance tells the system, per origin and destination, what percentage of the FEUs should be allocated to each String for each Carrier.
In the cases where a carrier has multiple Strings on the same origin/destination, you can enter what percentage each string should get of the carriers' allocation.
You can also enter a " - " dash in the Guidance column and in the String Split column of the upload and the Carrier/String(s) will be used for volume when it is the only viable option.
See Training - Guidance File (Word document) for detailed instructions on how to update and maintain Guidance.
