| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Prefix | The issuing carrier's three-digit IATA airline code. |
| From Serial | The first AWB serial number of the AWB stock range. |
| To Serial | The last AWB serial number of the AWB stock range. If the No. of AWBs field is populated with the number of AWBs required, it is not necessary to complete this field. The system automatically generates the correct AWB number. |
| Query Serial | Use the Query Serial field to search for existing serial numbers in the database. |
| No. of AWBs | The total number of AWBs to be assigned. If the To Serial field has already been entered, the system automatically computes the number of AWBs in the range and populates this field. |
| Issue Date | Enter the issue date of the new stock record. If left empty, the system enters the current date. |
| Computer Generated | This check box defines whether the AWBs to be created are airline or neutral stock. When selected, the AWB numbers are neutral stock AWBs. Deselect this check box to create a range of AWB numbers for preexisting, preprinted Airline stock AWBs. |

|
