Automatic Application of ECC Special Handling Code

The Auto ECC functionality automatically applies the ECC special handling code to validated e-AWB shipments received in Cargospot. This functionality is configured by the app.ini, [other] dataTable. For more information, please contact your system administrator.

Auto ECC is primarily configured using the Auto ECC field of the Airports screen. The Auto ECC can either be set to blank, All, or Custom.

When set to blank, the ECC special handling code will not be applied to shipment records originating at that airport. At the import side, the ECC special handling code is ignored if an inbound FWB with ECC is received from that origin airport.

When set to All, Cargospot automatically applies the ECC special handling code to all shipment records created by inbound FWB and originating from that airport whose agent has signed the Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) agreement with the Airline.

When set to Custom, Cargospot uses the Auto ECC table in Master Data > Others > View Master Codes to determine the application of the ECC special handling code.

The Auto ECC Table

The Auto ECC table allows a super user to define rules that determine when the ECC special handling code is added to applicable e-AWBs. Super users can populate the Auto ECC table with rules that define specific conditions that when met, triggers the system to automatically add the ECC special handling code to the incoming FWB.
Note: The Auto ECC table is only used when the corresponding Airport's Auto ECC setting is set to Custom.
