Business Requirements

We will need to send Descartes FWB and FHL messages which will contain all of the required information as noted below.

The New York office is the only office that will be required to do this.

It will only need to be done for airlines that we book directly with and are destined to or trans-shipping through an EU location.

It is also required to send an HTS number, we need to have an area in which this can be entered and transmitted.

The operators should be able to tell the system to transmit and the information should be sent instantly.

Transmission should be at the master level, so any shipments in a consolidation will be transmitted together.

Message formats have already been forwarded.
