When to use it
Some postings are non-accompanied: the employee is already at post while the spouse stayed in HQ (or vice-versa), and both households now relocate to the same new post. PostingPal lets a single posting carry two origins so each item can declare where it actually ships from.
Add a second origin
Open Account → More → Postings (or the Move logistics card), edit your posting, and tap + Add a second origin. Enter:
- City + country for the second pickup location.
- Label — a short name you'll see on items (e.g. "Spouse — Ottawa", "HQ").
The destination stays a single post. Existing tags (LTS, private storage, for sale) are unchanged — second origin only applies to items that physically ship (sea, air, hand carry, diplomatic pouch).
Pick an origin per item
Once two origins exist, the item form shows a Coming from picker for shipping items. It defaults to your primary origin — change it only for items that ship from the second one. Items already in your inventory keep the primary origin until you reassign them.
Reassign in bulk from the inventory
When a posting has two origins, the inventory view shows a small Ships from 2 origins chip with live item counts per origin and a Reassign… shortcut. Tap it to enter select mode, pick the items to move, then tap the truck icon in the bulk action bar and choose the destination origin — all selected items switch in one tap.
What it changes
- Item list: a small origin badge appears on items shipped from the second origin (the primary stays clean).
- Export (CSV / FSD manifest): a new Origin city column shows the correct pickup city per item.
- Removing the second origin: allowed only after no items reference it — reassign them first.
