See how to use the “soft-lock” option with the Volume- and the Chargeable Weight-Fields on the Booking Mask.
1. “Soft-lock” state (organge coloured)
Is meant to be used mainly for pre-bookings to protect the value inside the Volume-field against COS-internal-synchronisations, when you or another user might want to change the Gross Weight in a pre-booking but keep the volume as it was initially set. This helps you to plan the space on your flights more accurately. It will still let processes like f.e. incoming C-IMP-msgs such as, FWBs, FFRs, FSUs etc, or incoming Bot-data change and update the content of this field.
2. “Super-lock” state (red coloured)
Is meant to be used as usually for cases, when you want to sell a higher Chargeable Weight f.e. due to oversized cargo etc. In this state, the values remain completely protected against any COS-internal synchronization as well as against any external data updates coming from C-IMP-msgs such as FWBSs, FFRs, FSUs etc as well as against incoming Bot-data-updates.
