Changing a Request and Informing Your Carriers
Editing drafts and communicating changes on a running request.
As long as a request has not been sent, you can edit it freely. After sending, the content is locked, but you can send your carriers an update.
Editing a draft
- Open the request from your Status Overview.
- Click Revise on the right.
- Change routing, dates, or shipment data, then send the request.
Sending an update on a running request
Once the request has gone to at least one carrier, the button reads Send changes.
- Open the running request.
- Click Send changes. The Send update to forwarders window opens.
- Describe what has changed under Your personal message.
- Check your signature. Both fields are required.
- Click SEND.
Under Separately to you see all recipients. OYASO automatically selects every carrier that received the request. Each one gets their own email — recipients cannot see each other.
The text is stored with a timestamp in the request History. Your carriers receive an email and also see the change as a notice above the offer form, before they submit or revise their offer.
What this function is not for
Use updates only for details that do not affect the price — a rescheduled pickup day, an address detail, a contact person.
OYASO points this out in the window itself: with price-relevant changes, prices already submitted may become invalid.
For price-forming changes it is the wrong route. A substantially higher weight, a different postcode, or a switch from standard to express changes the calculation. There is a risk that not every carrier reads the notice, and you end up comparing prices based on different assumptions.
For price-relevant changes: close the request and start a new one with Duplicate, using the corrected values. Everyone then calculates on the same basis. → Duplicating a request
