Move Documents from a site to a sub site with SharePoint on Office 365

Question

Good Morning,
I am trying to configure my Content Organizer Rules to send documents uploaded in one site (e.g. contoso.sharepoint.com/DropOffLibrary) to a library in a sub site (e.g. contoso.sharepoint.com/testSite/destintionLibrary). I have turned on the Content Organizer
for both sites, checked the setting that "<label for="ctl00_PlaceHolderMain_enableCrossRoutingSection_crossRoutingCheckBox">Allow rules to specify another site as a target location", and </label>ensured the content type was
on the Drop Off Library and the destination library. The Content Type was a custom type that included custom columns.
I created a rule based upon one of those columns that sent the document to the correct library (site) based upon the choice made. The column did not accept any value except the choices provided. When I try to enter the destination for the document,
the sub-sites are not listed as options to select and neither are the libraries contained within them. When I enter in the URL for the targeted library, the message "A valid target path must be selected." appears. If I create the same rule,
targeting the local library, it works.
Any ideas on why this is not working for me?

Hi Zac,
In order to route documents from one site to another, please make sure you have set up a send to location in Records Management in SharePoint admin center for the destination site.
