Business Requirements

Descartes (Jaguar partner) is offering Automated Air Status Update Service

This will allow airfreight shipments booked directly by Jaguar with the airlines, to be fed automatic status updates (departure and arrival dates), removing our need to manually check and then update the status of Airfreight shipments.

It is our understanding that in order to send updates Descartes needs to receive only MAWB number.

Transshipment airports.

It is possible to have more than one transhipment airport.

We assume that Descartes can send meaningful updates to accommodate that case.

CT2 should be re-designed to support that.

Split case.

In this case airline might call and say that X plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F1.

Later airline might call and say that Y plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F2.

Later airline might call and say that remaining plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F3.

It could be split 2,3,4, ... times.

We assume that Descartes can send meaningful updates to accommodate that case. CT2 should be re-designed to support that.

Design ideas

Accommodating any number of stops (trans shipments):

Accommodating any number of splits:

Detailed Technical Design and Architecture

Documentation

There are number of useful documents attached in various mantises under parent mantis:

When to send XML

CT2 system should send Ct#MAWB through EDI as soon as it gets assigned by operator.

Use Case Operator changed MAWB

TBD

One CT one direct flight Use Case UC1

One CT is traveling on one airplane from origin to destination.

We assume that Descartes will send back:

Ct#Airport_Of_Departure_Actual_Date first
Ct#Airport_Of_Destination_Actual_Date later

One CT multistop flight Use Case UC2

In this case there is one or more airport of transhipment.

Our system may accommodate one. We need to add flexibility if there are more than one.

We assume that Descartes will send back:

Ct#Airport_Of_Departure_Actual_Date first
Ct#Airport_Of_Destination_Actual_Date later
Ct#Trans_Shipment_Actual_Date - first trans-shipment
Ct#Trans_Shipment_Actual_Date2 - 2nd trans-shipment. New field!
so on

Split Use Case UC3

Example from #Business Requirements

In this case airline might call and say that X plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F1.
Later airline might call and say that Y plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F2.
Later airline might call and say that remaining plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F3.
It could be split 2,3,4, ... times.

We need to modify our UI / DB to accommodate this case

CT profile and DB re-design to accommodate multiple trans shipment points and splits

TBD

General info about Messaging

CT2 and Descartes system (GLN) will exchange XML messages.

In a nutshell:

CT2 sends MAWB (same as FWB) to Descartes(GLN) network/server
GLN forwards to Airline nework
when update becomes available info is passed back to CT2 through Descartes

Per Rusty (Descartes):

FSU messages are event driven meaning they will be sent per flight per event.

Common FSU Types

Freight Status Update (FSU) Messages - http://www.ccnhub.com.au/fsu/ [^]

Common FSU Types:

- BKD: Consignment booked on a specific flight - RCS: Consignment received from shipper or agent - MAN: Consignment manifested on a specific flight - DEP: Consignment departed on a specific flight - TFD: Consignment transferred to another airline - RCT: Consignment received from another airline - RCF: Consignment received from a given flight - NFD: Consignment arrived at destination and the consignee or agent has been informed - AWD: Consignment arrival documents delivered to the consignee or agent - TRM: Consignment to be transferred to another airline - CCD: Consignment cleared by Customs - DLV: Consignment delivered to the consignee or agent - DIS: Consignment with a discrepancy

IATA/CASS id for Valley Stream office

TBD
