When a NEMO in the CORE MNA region is decoupled from the Single Day-Ahead Coupling (SDAC) and the market coupling session concludes, the Volume Allocation process will begin. Once the Nord Pool's Trading Desk activates the Volume Allocation Service, the Trading UI automatically switches to Volume Allocation mode.
Key aspects of Volume Allocation mode:
- Volume Allocation mode becomes visible in the Auction Trading UI.
- Customers will receive an Operational Message when the Order Book reopens - curve orders submitted during the SDAC can be kept, modified or cancelled in Volume Allocation as Volume Allocation requests, as well new requests can be added.
- Block orders are excluded from Volume Allocation.
- Exclusive Group orders are excluded from Volume Allocation.
- Linked Exclusive Group orders are excluded from Volume Allocation.

When volumes are allocated using SDAC prices, the results will appear as usual in the Results section.
Volume Allocation requests are treated the same as curve orders. For more details, refer to the following resources:
