In this process, you as the logistics service provider can use the air waybill stock and contract of another logistics service provider who is carrying out a consolidation or making a direct shipment (consolidator). This means that you want to transport goods with a specific flight, however, you don't book directly with the carrier but instead with the consolidator.

The following restrictions apply to this process:

  • You may not send the air freight booking yourself. The consolidator does this on your behalf.

  • You may not draw the MAWB numbers from the stock yourself or return them to the stock.

  • This process does not support any schedules.

Prerequisites

  • In Customizing for the freight booking type, you have specified that this is a co-load. For more information, see Customizing for Transportation Management   Freight Order Management   Freight Booking   Define Freight Booking Types  .

  • You have defined a business partner with the Carrier role. You have also specified the IATA agent code, the regulated agent, and the agent's CASS account for the business partner. For more information, see Definition of Business Partners and Business Partner.

Process

  1. Creating the air freight booking

    Create an air freight booking manually. Here you specify the following:

    • Consolidator

    • MAWB number

      You get this number from the consolidator. The system checks the MAWB number for validity.

    • Issuing carrier's agent

      Enter the consolidator. In this scenario the the issuing carrier's agent is the consolidator. The system automatically draws the IATA agent code, the the regulated agent, and the agent's CASS account.

    The airline (issuing carrier) is displayed as the communication party because the message is to be sent to the airline.

  2. Scheduling the air freight booking

    You schedule the air freight booking. This means that you assign freight unit stages (that is house air waybills) to the air freight booking and then distribute these to the unit load devices if necessary.

  3. Sending the message

    You send the message to the airline.
