In the name of Allāh, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

Assalāmu ῾alaykum wa Rahmatullāhi Wabarakātuh
 
In principle, a person can convey the reward of any charitable or physical deed that is Nafil (voluntary) with more than one intention. However, Qadhaa’ fasts (missed fasts) are not regarded as Nafil. Therefore, you can not make eesaal e sawab with that.
There is no specific procedure of making Eesaal e Sawab to others. Simply make the intention that whatever good deeds you are offering, their reward be conveyed to the deceased.
(Aap kay Masail, Pg.227, Vol.3, Maktabah Ludhyanwy)
