Does anyone have an easy guide on how to send BPs between Mayor Powers?
I am currently trying to send 5 BPs to CW from the US. I am having very little luck figuring it out.
I tried searching for a thread but had no success.

There are 2 parts. During the end-of-turn, you will stop at the US Lending page during the Lending Resources phase. This happens after Reinforcements are placed and before the first Weather rolls for the turn. You can select resources or build points for each country you want to lend to

You will also need to ensure that you have convoys between the US and UK for those resources or build points.

The lending stage is at the start of the turn. Here you announce what build points are being sent between which major powers.

During the turn, set up the convoy chains needed to move the build points, remembering that convoy points transporting build points can't transport resources at the same time.

Finally, during the preliminary production step you have to assign which factories are actually sending the build points. Some trades, like US to CW or CW to France or France to CW MWiF will usually get right. Others, like CW to China or US to Free France, it will probably get wrong. On the production screen, go the factory or build point that MWiF is trying to send but you don't want. Click on it. You have to click on a specific column for this to work. I think, but don't remember, that it is the first column. If it isn't, click on each column in turn. One will bring up a dialog box asking you which build point you want to send.

After you do that, you might have to deal with the normal nonsense about changing routes, but I will not get into that here.

This answer is abbreviated, but I hope it is enough to at least tell you where you are going wrong. If this is not enough for you to solve your problems, ask about which of these steps you are having trouble with.

Right you are. I should have been more precise.
I have a functional grasp of the lendingsystem and how to convoy resources.
I just seem to miss something very basic about lending buildpoints.
