Air Cargo Security in Business Document Processing 
If you enable the air cargo security check, the system checks that the required air cargo security data is entered during business document processing and that the air cargo security statuses of the relevant business documents are compatible.
Prerequisites
You have enabled the air cargo security check and made the required settings. For more information, see Configuration of Air Cargo Security.
Process
You create a forwarding order with one or more freight units.
You use a forwarding order type for which the air cargo security (ACS) check is enabled and for which the master data for the pick-up location or business partner is to be copied to the forwarding order.
The system does the following in the forwarding order:
Enters the regulated agent code for the sales organization on the General Data tab page under Organizational Data. If required, you can change this value.
Enters the master data for the pick-up location or business partner on the Air Cargo Security tab page under Cargo Handover Party. If required, you can change these values.
Shows whether you have known a shipper long enough in order to accept cargo from the shipper as secure. The system checks if an LSP has known a shipper long enough only if a country-specific offset has been entered for the country of the destination location, transit location, or intermediate stop.
On the Air Cargo Security tab page under Known Shipper Details, the system displays the date as of which you have known the shipper. If you have known the shipper long enough based on this date and the relevant country-specific offset defined in Customizing for Transportation Management, the system selects the Known Long Enough checkbox. If you have not known the shipper long enough or if you have not specified a country-specific offset, it does not select the checkbox.
You select the country-specific security status and the system determines the required air cargo security status.
You select the country-specific security status as follows:
If the forwarding order contains only one freight unit, you select the country-specific security status in the forwarding order on the Air Cargo Security tab page. The freight unit inherits the country-specific security status and the air cargo security status from the forwarding order.
If the forwarding order contains more than one freight unit, you select the country-specific security status in each individual freight unit. The forwarding order inherits the country-specific security status and the air cargo security status from the freight units. If the freight units have different country-specific security statuses, the system displays the value Multiple as the country-specific security status in the forwarding order. If the freight units have different air cargo security statuses, the system displays the least secure air cargo security status in the forwarding order.
In the forwarding order, the air cargo security status is displayed on the Air Cargo Security tab page and on the Statuses tab page. In the freight unit, the country-specific security status is displayed on the General Data tab page, and the air cargo security status is displayed on the Statuses tab page. Note that prior to determining the air cargo security status, the system displays the status Not Checked.
If you have specified in Customizing that planning and execution are to be blocked for a specific air cargo security status, the system blocks planning and execution as soon as the relevant status is set in the freight unit.
You create an air freight booking.
You select the air cargo security status in the air freight booking on the Booking tab page. If you have created an air freight booking from a master flight schedule and you have specified an air cargo security status in the schedule, the system automatically enters this default status. You then select the corresponding country-specific security status on the Booking tab page.
The air cargo security status and the country-specific security status are displayed on the Statuses tab page in the air freight booking.
You carry out planning for the freight units.
Automatic planning can be performed only if the air cargo security statuses of the freight units and the air freight booking are compatible. For example, the freight unit has the status Secure for Passenger Aircraft (SPX) and the air freight booking has the status Secure for Cargo Aircraft (SCO).
If you carry out manual planning and the statuses are not compatible, the system issues either warning messages or error messages depending on your user authorizations. If you are assigned to the execution organization that is specified in the air freight booking, the system issues warnings. If the Air Cargo Security Authorization Check for a freight booking type has been enabled, the system instead runs an authorization check according to your role assignment. If you have been assigned a role that is allowed to manually assign unsafe items to an air freight booking the system issues warnings. Otherwise, the system issues errors and planning is blocked.
Note that planning is not possible if the freight unit or the air freight booking has the air cargo security status Not Checked.
If you have specified a country-specific offset for the country of the destination location, transit location, or intermediate stop, the system checks if you have known a shipper long enough during planning, and also after planning if you change the route or if you change the air cargo security status or country-specific security status of a business document. If you have not known the shipper long enough, the system issues an error message. The system skips this check if you have specified in Customizing for the relevant air cargo security status that the cargo has been screened by the logistics service provider.
