Inventory options

By airport

You can request an inventory from a particular airport on the route: The command is: 

Code Block
language xml theme FadeToGrey
VIE4900/05NOVCOR COR indicates only segments from COR

 

 

Code Block
language xml theme FadeToGrey
VIE4900/05NOV Only if the origin of the terminal you are requesting is AEP, is it not necessary clarify the departure airport

 

Note:

Note
If the terminal that is requested in the VIE entry is from the origin, it can be ignored.

 2.2

From an availability display

You can request the inventory from a previously displayed availability. The command is: 

Code Block
language xml theme FadeToGrey
VIEA Item number

Description:

VIE	Fixed command
A	Availability indicator
ITEM NUMBER	Item number from the availability display

 

In this case,the origin is considered from the origin city of the  requested availability. 

2.3

From an itinerary of a PNR

You can request the inventory from a previously displayed PNR. The command is

VIEP Item Number

Description:

In this case,the origin is considered from the  boarding point of the segment.

Display  unconfirmed sales 

You can generate a list of unconfirmed sales, that is, those PNRs that are not closed and that aret are in the process of creation.

VIE {flight} / {date} / SS (see Example 3)

System displays seats in each route that are being taken at that time but still not recorded  in the PNR.

Description

Considerations:

Inventory History

---

Once flights are created, a copy of how it was created  and every modification is kept in the flight history. Keep in mind that when a flight is split, the system deletes all indexes placed manually (Space Control VM commands) saving only those that have been placed by schedule change (KS commands). 

The command to see the flight history is: 

Code Block
language xml theme FadeToGrey
VIH{flight}/{date}

 

 

 

The display shows a copy of the inventory at the time it was created, with the indexes of the equipment . Changes occured in the indicators will be recorded in the history.

 

 

 

Example 

 

 

There were some changes to the indexes of this flight that are being reflected in the history . For example, In the first change the flight was retrieved to be canceled:

Image RemovedImage Added

 The The command made is shown , also the terminal from where it was made and the agent, time and date of the execution. Also the modifications made by space control or flight loading  can be seen reflected as follows: 

In the changes made with flight loading commands such as the KS, only the index that identifies  the change and the rest of the command made, in the space control (VM) appears the
complete command In the end, the agent, time and date of the execution will always be displayed.

The VIH of a flight will remain in the system until 48 hours after the operation of the flight, then will be removed from the system. 

Departures and arrivals information

This

command

allows

you

to

view

the

departures

and

arrivals

of

flights

individually

or

in

groups,

by

airport

or

by

sections,

showing

the

operation

with

their

schedules

and

occupation

by

legs.

The options are the following:

• Complete Schedule:
  

VLC*ALL

VLC*ALLALL

• By flights:

         This This command allows you to visualize by flight, operation and occupation.

 
VLC * Flight                           By flight number, a single flight

VLC * Flight * Flight                 By flight number, several at a time

VLC * Flight / Optional Date          with date of departure (if date is not specified, it defaults to today´s date.)

This command shows the flights sorted in ascending order by flights numbers .

• By segments

This command allows you to visualize by segment, the flights that are operating between the segment requested for a specific day. If no date is indicated the default is the current day.
You can replace one of the airports with the word ALL, this will indicate that the request will be the departures from a specific airport to all possible destinations or vice versa, from all
destinations to a specific airport.

VLC*AEPCOR/23MAR

Unlike the flight option command, a TIME column is shown at the beginning, which indicates the order of the flights by departure time from the requested segment.

In case a request is made from all airports to a specific one, the order will be given by the schedule of arrival at the specific airport. For example:

• By airport

This command allows you to visualize all the departures and arrivals of a specific airport. If no date is enter it defaults to the current day. 

VLC*AEP

Unlike the  command option by segment, it shows an ST column after the TIME column, which indicates whether the flight leaves the requested airport (OUT) or arrives at the airport (IN).
In the case of circular flights, they will be shown twice, once when it takes off and once it lands. See in the example the flights 4134, 4320 and 4390. In the latter you can see that it departs
at 2330 and arrives at 0330 + 1, that is, the next day. The reason is that the commercial date of it is the day of the request. Therefore, it will enter within the requested date and not the next day. 

Sales information by class and business parameters

There is a command to view sales inventory by class only. This command gathers characteristics of a flight inventory but only showing sales by classes and their indicators corresponding to the merchandising The command is:

VIS {flight} / {date} ALL

The header shows the same data as the inventory (VIE) and the indicators are the following: 

Options:

You can use the minimum input command that would be: 

VIS{flight}

Using this command, it defaults to the current day and the origin  airport only. It can also be requested by specific airport.

Example

Total Sales Information per cabin

---

There is a command to display total sales per cabin. This command shows the partial booked seats by segment and by cabin and the booked per cabin.
