A farm-out moves operational responsibility to a partner while the reservation and financial obligations still require review.
Before sending
- Confirm the reservation, service details, and requested timing.
- Select the intended affiliate and verify the relationship is current.
- Review the information that will be shared with the partner.
- Record the request and the partner’s response in the appropriate workflow.
Before closing
- Confirm the accepted partner and operating assignment.
- Check that operational status reflects what happened.
- Preserve the financial context needed for partner payout or settlement review.
Do not infer acceptance from a sent request alone. If the partner or connection is unavailable, keep the trip visible to Dispatch and follow the company’s escalation process.
