Creating a Station Allotment

You can reserve space for a station by creating a station allotment.

You can create the allotment template before the flight schedules for the allotment duration are present in the system. You must ensure that all the flight schedule records are properly entered in the system before creating the individual allotments for the days.
  1. Navigate to the Allotments screen. Click Master Data > Allotments.
  2. Click Add (Ins) or press Insert.
  3. In the Template tab, enter the details of the allotment. The following are minimum fields required to create an allotment.

The allotments are created for the period if flight schedules are available. The populated Weight and Volume is the initial agreed weight and volume and can be edited later depending on any communicated change.
