Create Pop-up hindering users to set back AWBs from status “Assigned” to “Created” (4′)

See how to create a Pop-up in COS, that would hinder users to set back AWBs from status “Assigned” back to status “Created”.

This blocking Pop-up can be useful for certain stations/airlines, that do not want to allow users to set back AWBs the whole way to status “Created” because that action bears a risk. Sometimes forwarding agents might still use an AWB-Nbr, that they have once given for a booking that got cancelled and they might re-use that AWB-Nbr again for another future other shipment.

By keeping such AWBs in status Assigned, such risks can be minimized.

Since the pop-ups are only shown on the Booking Mask, this “safety-measure” obviously only applies when the user is doing this task on the Booking Mask. Withdrawing/setting back AWBs back to Created status, can still be done on the AWB-Stock-Overview screen at any time.

Assign AWB Stock to an Agent (4′)

See how to assign an AWB-Stock-serie nbrs to an agent.

And how to send out a respective AWB Stock Delivery e-Mail-Message to the customer.

Assign single AWB nbr to an Agent for immediate Booking (5′)

See how you can assign a single AWB nbr to an agent and use it to enter an immediate booking.

Generally we recommend to use the “Assign AWB Stock” screen for that purpose.

Because by assigning single numbers or small series in this screen, COS is “filling up gaps” in the sequence that might evolve in an AWB stock over the months and years.

Assign specific AWB nbrs to Agent in AWB Stock Overview (3′)

Learn how to assign specific/multiple AWB-nbrs to an Agent using the AWB Stock Overview screen.

This can be a useful alternative in cases when you need to mirror the AWB Stock in COS with the AWB Stock in an Airline system for example.

Resend Assigned AWB Stock Delivery Message to Agent (2′)

see how to resend an AWB Stock Delivery E-Mail-Message to an agent of once assigned AWBs.

Create Excel-Lists of AWB-Stock-inventory of unused AWBs (8′)

learn how to generate Excel reports for your AWB Stock inventory of unused AWBs.

There are actually two way of doing that.

a) by the Export button directly out of the AWB Stock Overview screen

and

b) by the Flex Sales Report using filter criterias Created/Assigned and ticking the two respective Date-filtering options

– Change an Agent on multiple AWBs
