Example: How Priority Codes are Applied
The priority code is automatically assigned to a booking at the first Add/Edit action based on the content of the booking. The booking record is checked and re-prioritized at each update of the booking.
In this example, the following hierarchy for priority codes are setup in the system:
- A1 - Highest priority. For AWBs with any SHC of AOG/HUM/AVI.
- A2 - Second highest. For AWBS with SHC PER.
- A3 - Third highest. For AWBs with two or more Flown as Booked (FAB) Irregularities.
- A4 - Fourth highest. For AWBs with one FAB irregularity.
- B - Fifth highest. For AWBs with Product Code, EXPRESS.
- C1 - Sixth highest. For AWBs from Agent A with Allotment A.
- C2 - Seventh highest. For AWBs from Agent B.
- C3 - Eighth highest. For AWBs from Agent A.
Scenario:
A booking is made by Agent A. It is not from an allotment and has no special handling codes.
Upon saving the booking, it is automatically assigned Priority C3.
The booking is then amended so that it is made from an allotment on a different flight. Because
the allotment has a higher priority code than the existing one, the priority code in the
booking is updated from C3 to C1 after the Edit action is saved.
Users with the appropriate duty codes can manually update the existing priority code by editing the AWB and then selecting a new priority code from the Priority drop-down list. When manually updating an air waybill's priority code, the new priority code needs to be a higher priority than the automatically assigned priority code.
