- If you enter only Discharge Port (DP), PCC.NET searches for those feeder leg Bookings which gets loaded from the mother vessel at that selected Discharge Port.
- If you enter both the Load Port (LP) and Discharge Port (DP), PCC.NET searches for all feeder Bookings which are to be loaded on the mother vessel at that selected Load Port and also those feeder Bookings which gets loaded from the mother vessel at that selected Discharge Port.

To approve Feeder legs, you (Area Manager) can select all the feeder legs which originated from and are destined to the same port pairs. For the respective vessel, voyage, ETD (From), ETA (To), ATD (From), ATA (To) and Route Status, if they have the same value in the selected feeder legs, that value gets displayed in the corresponding field of Feeder Mass Approval Update dialog box. In case, the selected feeder legs have different values for the respective vessel, voyage, ETD (From), ETA (To), ATD (From), ATA (To) and route status, the corresponding values in Feeder Mass Approval Update dialog box are left blank and you must enter those values before saving the approval details. PCC.NET displays the current values for the above mentioned fields against the selected legs just below the dialog box to be selected before applying new feeder details.
The Booking status automatically becomes Accepted if all route legs get approved and all Booking validations are passed. But if any essential information is missing, you must provide the required information and then change the Booking Status manually.
Similarly, if all legs are approved for a particular Booking and then the route status changes for the 'first' leg from Approved to Not Approved or Rejected, PCC.NET updates the Booking status back to Requested from Accepted. The change in Booking status happens only for the first leg and Accepted Bookings; it does not apply to a Booking in Reconciled status.
If a Booking is in Reconciled status and it’s Discharge Port (DP) falls under US territory, PCC.NET checks for the availability of FMC documentation during Route Leg approval for that Booking. In absence of FMC documentation, route leg is not possible and it shows error for FMC.
If all Bookings selected for Route Leg approval are in Requested Status and one/more Bookings have their Discharge Port (DP) falling under US territory without FMC Filing information, a warning message appears informing that FMC filing is not yet done for those Requested Bookings and will ask your agreement whether to proceed further for leg approval or not. On your approval, PCC.NET approves the legs, but keeps all those Bookings in Requested status for which FMC documentation is not available. If you disagree to proceed, however, the selected route legs are not approved.
If Feeder vessel and voyage values are updated in Feeder Approval process, the corresponding Load and Discharge VIN events for the earlier Feeder vessel and voyage get soft deleted.
