Enter a DU Draft Survey for a Service Trip

A discrete unit (DU) draft survey with a back calculation corrects the quantities of the DU loading or unloading movements.

Note: A DU draft survey can only be entered or modified if the applicable DU movements are in their last state. For example:
• If packages have been loaded onto and then unloaded from the service trip, a DU draft survey can no longer be entered at the loading location.
• If packages have been loaded onto a service trip and included in a DU draft survey at the loading location, and then the packages are unloaded, the DU draft survey can no longer be modified.

Security Note: You need the Allow barge draft surveys security right in the Barge Despatches domain security rights group for this activity.
