Release Allocation Plan

When you release the allocation plan to your carriers, they will be able to confirm the FEUs and also notify you of any changes to the allocation.

To release the plan to your carriers:

1    Before your carriers can confirm your plan, you must release it to them. Click the [Status] Plan: Weeks link to view the plan, then click Release Allocation Plan.

• If you want to withhold a week of the plan from a specific carrier, string, or destination port, see Step 3.
