The process of forwarding bookings
We will discuss the process using the example of one shipper (P3DT CargoON Test) and three carriers (companies: 1. Trans.eu FORWARD, 2. P3DT TFF Forwarder Test, 3. P3DT TFC Carrier Test).
- The shipper (P3DT CargoON Test) assigned a booking to the carrier Trans.eu FORWARD, who received the notification.

- In the booking details, the carrier clicked Complete data.

- In the data editing form, the carrier can either complete the data or forward the booking to another carrier.
Since the option to forward time slots and bookings is enabled, there is a new section in the form: Forwarding.
The checkbox Allow forwarding is checked automatically.

In the example, Carrier 1 (Trans.eu FORWARD) decided to forward the booking to Carrier 2 (P3DT TFF Forwarder Test).
Carrier 1 selected Carrier 2 from the Forward to list and then clicked Save changes.
- After saving the booking, in its details, Carrier 1 (Trans.eu FORWARD) will find a note about the permission to forward the booking.

- Carrier 2 (P3DT TFF Forwarder Test) received a notification about the assigned booking.

- In the booking details, Carrier 2 (P3DT TFF Forwarder Test) can see a note about the booking being forwarded from Carrier 1.
Carrier 2 can now complete the booking details by clicking the Complete data button.

- Carrier 2 also decides to forward the booking. They select Carrier 3, P3DT TFC Carrier Test, from the list.
To forward the booking, the carrier clicks Save changes.


- After saving the booking, in its details, Carrier 2 (P3DT TFF Forwarder Test) will see a note about the permission to forward the booking.

- Carrier 3 (P3DT TDC Carrier Test) received a notification about the assigned booking.

- Carrier 3 can see who forwarded the booking to them in the booking details. To complete the booking details, the carrier clicks Complete data.

- Carrier 3 decides to proceed with the booking. After completing the details, the carrier clicks Save changes.


If you reach the limit, a notification will appear.
