# Allocating Voyages to a Trade

There are different ways to allocate a voyage to a trade.&#x20;

### Voyage Drawer

In the voyage drawer you have to navigate to the Organisational Data tab, and then you will find the Trade dropdown as the second field on this page.

Every trade dropdown in the system will list up the options following this rule:

* Single item is Trade (First and second option in the image below)
* Two items are either&#x20;
  * Trade - Pattern (Third option)
  * Route - Trade (Fourth and fifth options)
* Three Items are Route - Trade - Pattern (Last option)
