Creating Routings 

Prerequisites

You are in the view Change Negotiated Airfare Rates or Change Discount Agreements for Flights and have entered all required data.

You call these views in Customizing for Travel Management under

Procedure

  1. Next to the Routing field, choose Edit. The Overview of Routings screen appears.
  2. Choose Routing ® Create. The Routes screen appears.
  3. If you have called this view directly using transaction code TP40 rather than via Customizing, you have to enter the Routing provider manually.

Now create the routing segment by segment

  1. In the Current route segment screen area enter the following data using the pushbutton List:
    1. Start location
    2. Possible provider for the respective route segment
    3. Possible booking class
    4. Destination location

You can assign more than one entry to each field.

 

If the route segment currently being processed is the last (or only) segment, confirm this with Close route. The route is now closed.

If the route segment currently being processed is not the last segment, choose Transfer route segment and repeat step 4 for all further route segments. The From field of the new route segment is automatically prepopulated with the value of the To field from the preceding route segment.
Once you have entered the last route segment, choose Close route.
  1. Each time you close a route another tab page appears to enter an alternative route. You can enter up to 12 alternative routes using the procedure described.
  2. When you have finished creating routes choose Copy routing.
    You return to the Overview of Routings screen. The routing you have just created now appears in the overview.
  3. Save your entries.
  4. To assign the defined rate or discount to the selected routing, choose Choose routing.

Result

You have created the flight routings as per agreement for a certain enterprise-specific, negotiated rate or discount. During a price query the system will now, together with the relevant Customizing settings, take the rates for the defined routes into consideration.
