Handover Date

5. Handover Date
 
This setting controls the default Handover Date, there are three options:-
 
  • Today (default setting) - The Handover Date for Mailing Cells moved to the Prepare tab will be set to today's date.
  • Today +1 -  The Handover Date for Mailing Cells moved to the Prepare tab will be set to today's date plus one day.
  • Today +2 -  The Handover Date for Mailing Cells moved to the Prepare tab will be set to today's date plus two days.
 
The Handover Date logic for all Wholesale (Network Access) mailings has been changed in accordance with Royal Mail's documentation (eMHS Implementation Guidelines - 3.5 Timings). Manifests must be confirmed the day before mail is handed over to the Royal Mail, therefore, we have blocked a handover date of today for Network Access mailings.
