Descartes is offering a service to automate air status updates.
-
Descartes is offering ''Automated Air Status Update Service''
+
In order to receive these updates for shipments that we do not book directly with the airline (which is the majority of shipments), we need to send a FSR message to Descartes and Descartes will pass this information on to the airlines.  In response to the FSR message the airline will send back and FSU or FSA to Descartes, which Descartes will push through to our system.  These messages should update the Airport Of Departure Actual Date, Trans Shipment Actual Date (if applicable) and Airport Of Destination Actual Date.
-
This service allows 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.
+
Implementing Automatic updates would save the operators a lot of time.  Currently the operators call the airlines and manually enter these updates.
-
It is our understanding that in order to send updates Descartes needs to receive only MAWB number.

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

-

An FSR message should be transmitted under the following conditions.
-
Any departure or destination airports indicated in incoming messages that do not exist or match the CT record should be ignored.
+
Only if the full 11 digit airline is set and the airline is set and the estimated departure is set.
 +

In this case airline might update saying that X plts/pcs/etc will be placed on Flight F1.
+
The FSR should begin to start to transmit again 24 hours prior to the estimated arrival of the trans-shipment airport if applicable and continue to send every X hours until the actual arrival of the trans-shipment airport has been updated.  If no trans-shipment airport is entered, this step should be skipped.

**It seems that this is set up to send at the time the operator clicks save.  I think this should be changed because we do not want to send an FSU message until the record is complete.  UAT has shown that the mawb is being transmitted to the airline once the airline is assigned and save is hit.  So the operator does not have to enter even the remaining digits of the mawb.

[edit] Information

Descartes is offering a service to automate air status updates.

In order to receive these updates for shipments that we do not book directly with the airline (which is the majority of shipments), we need to send a FSR message to Descartes and Descartes will pass this information on to the airlines. In response to the FSR message the airline will send back and FSU or FSA to Descartes, which Descartes will push through to our system. These messages should update the Airport Of Departure Actual Date, Trans Shipment Actual Date (if applicable) and Airport Of Destination Actual Date.

Implementing Automatic updates would save the operators a lot of time. Currently the operators call the airlines and manually enter these updates.

[edit] Business Requirements

An FSR message should be transmitted under the following conditions.

Only if the full 11 digit airline is set and the airline is set and the estimated departure is set.

The FSR should start sending 1 day prior to departure or when departure date is set to the current date and plus 24 hours. The FSR should continue to transmit every X hours until the actual airport of departure date has been confirmed and updated.

  • Status code for Departure in the FSU or FSA is DEP


The FSR should begin to start to transmit again 24 hours prior to the estimated arrival of the trans-shipment airport if applicable and continue to send every X hours until the actual arrival of the trans-shipment airport has been updated. If no trans-shipment airport is entered, this step should be skipped.

  • Status code for arrival of a trans-shipment airport RCF (received from flight) or ARR.

The FSR should again begin to start to send 24 hours prior to estimated arrival of the destination airport and continue to send every X hours until the actual arrival of the destination airport has been confirmed and update.

  • Status code for arrival of the destination airport is ARR. 


Current conditions have been hard coded and we have been advised is no longer required.
*Specified Airlines
*Specified Origin Country - Gen tab, 11. Origin country; 
We will need an admin section which will be defined

We should also provide operators with the ability to transmit the FWB message, when they have booked the shipment directly with the airlines.

  • The system will have no way of validating if the shipment was a direct booking or not, so the giving the operators the ability to transmit this on there own is current suggestion.

When an FWB message is transmitted to the airline, this should trigger automatic updates without the use of FSR's. This is not a guaranteed rule by every airline, so the FSR's should continue to be sent as defined above.

We should have a log of all messages sent and received.

We should also have a place to be able to view any rejected messages or messages that do not match records.

[edit] Additional Use Cases

Reusing a MAWB number - This is addressed in a separate http://ct.jaguarfreight.com/wiki/2555_rfsa

Split shipments are still being researched and will be defined in the future.

[edit] Admin

We will need a specified or separate message details sections (same as we have in admin > client application admin > TMS tab, but it should not interfere with this tab or be combined with this tab)

We also, would like to be able to stop transmission of the FSR's to certain airlines if required, so we should have all the airlines listed and a check box to disable certain airlines.
