How do I create a Release Reference?

Why is it important to create a Pick-up Release Reference in xChange?

• Suppliers must provide the release reference promptly. Without a valid release reference, users will not be able to pick up containers.
• If suppliers do not create a release reference on the platform, users and suppliers can not report picked-up containers on the xChange platform afterward. 
• It will also impact the supplier's performance ratings.

When should the Supplier provide the Pick-up Release Reference?

Once a deal is accepted, the supplier should provide the release reference as soon as possible to avoid any of the issues mentioned above.

How does the Supplier create a Pick-up Release Reference?

• Click on the Provide release reference button located at the top-middle of the page ⬇️
  
  
  
• Make sure to fill in the required details such as:
  • Release Reference No.
  • Validity (this means how long the release will be valid to complete the pick up of the units)
  • Pick-up location
  • Quantity
  • Depot details (name, address, and most importantly a phone number and email to confirm the release)

• Then click on the Create Release Reference

You can create several release references for a single deal. As soon as you create a release reference, the user is informed via email and platform notifications.

How can I monitor all issued Release References?

You can view all release references that you issued and uploaded to the Container Leasing platform in the Reference Manager.
