Create a Batch

To create a new batch, follow these steps:

1. Click the Batches tab and then click the Create New Batch command. The Create Batch  dialog box will display.

2. Select a radio button on the Transaction Type row to indicate whether the batch holds International, US/CA, or Add-on fare transactions.

3. Complete the batch information fields which include:

   • Batch ID: This field will automatically contain your organization's code

   • Comments: This field is optional. Type a comment that can help remind you of the purpose of the batch in the future.

   • Carrier: By default, your organization's carrier code will display in this field. However, you can type a different carrier code (if you are authorized to create batches for the other organization).

   • Work Unit: Work units are essentially comments that may or may not be used in batches. There are no rules on the use of work units; users develop their own logic. For example, if your department is divided into four teams, the first team may want to type "01" in the work unit field of all their batches.

   • Tariff: Type the fares tariff for the batch in this field. To display a list of fares tariff codes, click the Tariff link.

   • Effective Date: By default, the effective date for international and add-on fares tariffs is tomorrow; for US/CA tariffs the default effective date is today. If you wish the batch to hold a different effective date, type the date in this field using the DDMMMYY format or click the Calendar button to select a date from the Calendar dialog box.

4. Click the button. The Create New Batch screen will display.
