13 Xpress System Rewrite Flexible Receipt and Delivery Point Scheduling Support nomination changes to key elements in subsequent intra-day cycles without losing previous cycle scheduling priority Change your receipt points, delivery points, or both Change ranks each cycle Change your upstream and downstream contract/DUNS Change your package ID Just a note: nominations scheduled through a new constraint may still have reductions and EPSQ rules will still apply Exceeds the requirements of the new NAESB standard for receipt and delivery point flexibility (1.3.80)
