Default Capped reserve day(s)

Trying to move X days and get the "CAPPED RESERVE DAY(S)" message. Reserve coverage looks pretty bad in my category for October.

My question is, once your request is denied on a PCS run, is that it or does the computer look at your request again the next time there's a run to see if it will work, i.e. if rsv coverage conditions have changed? Do I need to resubmit? (in triplicate for final disapproval)

No, just leave it in. It'll continue to run and the reserve thing changes frequently. You don't need to put it in again.

Is there an 'expiration date' on the template?

If there is, put some date far into the month and then it should keep re-running with every PCS run, i.e. 3 times a day.

And yes, coverage does change with every run, usually for the better, as open time trips get picked up, less reserves are required.

buzz, Bohica, Timbo...thanks!

("cancel as of 23:50 on:" defaulted to the end of the month, which makes sense I guess since you're asking to move days within a specific bid-month/period, but it looks like you can make the request drop dead whenever you want)

Bingo! Don't forget to make sure you get chow if you're not getting fed and you need or know you'll need it.

I assumed they were just asking for initial report. We all know it goes out the window as the day rolls on!
