JJPRS Table
In this first instance there are two configurable parameters in the Seats Pre-assignment Table. At the time of activation, default values will be assigned to each of the parameters.
[ENA] | ENABLE PRS | Number of days before flight departure when the seat pre-assignment will be available |
[DIS] | DISABLE PRS | Number of hours before flight departure when the seat pre-assignment will be available |
Considerations:
- Seat Maps are created by the system, for each flight / date, at the time of equipment assignment (KASAT) that has an designated Seat Map (KPRS)
- Parameters in this table define whether display and pre-assignment commands (4G) are allowed or not according to the flight date of departure and the date on which the commands are performed.
- CRC or inventory commands (VST and VST / SS) can be executed at any time. The system will add a notification that the pre-assignment is deactivated by this table
- Definitions of the JJPRS table are applicable to the entire Host and all systems and channels that use pre-allocation
- Values of the JJPRS table are valid from the moment the parameters are configured.
Parameters
[ENA] - Enable PRS
This field defines the number of days before the departure of each flight that will begin to offer seats pre-assignment through the reservation module.
This table starts with a default value of 90 days before the departure of the flight.
[DIS] - Disable PRS
In this field, the number of hours before the departure of each flight will be defined, which will be omitted from pre-assigning seats through the reservation module.
This table starts with a default value of 2 (two) hours before the departure of the flight.
Designated Commands
Pre-assignment command (4G)
If an attempt to display a Seat Map or pre-assign a seat is done before the date enabled in the ENABLE PRS parameter or after the time set in the DISABLE PRS parameter, the system will respond with the error message NOT ALLOWED - PRS NOT ENABLED.
Inventory commands(VST)
VST and VST /SS inventory commands will always be available for the airline to check and control . If the flight departure is before the time established in the ENABLE PRS parameter or after the DISABLE PRS parameter, the responses will show the Seat Maps information and corresponding preassigned entries together with an alert indicating that the pre-assignment is not available: PRS NOT ENABLED - CHECK JJPRS
JJPRS/SSG Table (Under Development)
Seat Maps Configuration
Seat Maps
Once the Seat Maps are created, they can be viewed through a list and retrieved individually, either for viewing, modification or deletion.
The Seat Map ID will always correspond to the equipment ID according to the KASAT equipment table since the Seat Map will be directly related to the equipment assigned to the flights in the Schedule module.
Seat Maps List (KPRS/SM*)
Through this fixed command you can see the list of all Seat Maps currently created in the Host.
KPRS/SM*
Response;
Seat Maps IDs are the references to the equipment IDs of the KASAT table.
Retrieve Seat Map (KPRS/SMR/)
Through this command and using the Id number, you can retrieve the Seat Maps either for viewing or editing the details.

KPRS_Check-In
Seat Maps that are used in the check-in module maintain their current operation, and the coexistence between both Seat Maps is synchronous from the moment the flight is initialized at check-in, either automatically or manually.
When assigning seats from the reservation module, a SEAT element with the information corresponding to the preassigned entries is generated in the PNR.
These seats will be informed and selected at the time of check-in.
If at the check-in the seats are modified, the preassigned seats will be released in the Seat Map but the SEAT elements of the PNRs will remain unaltered.
Performance
Seat Maps used for seat pre-assignment in reservations will be created and managed by the airline directly through the Schedule module, with KPRS commands defined in the corresponding instructions.
Seat Maps used for seat allocation at check-in must be requested to KIU for its creation, management and associating with the corresponding registration as it has been up to now.
It is important that in the creation of both Seat Maps the relationship and agreement be maintained according to the equipment to which they will be assigned.
During the period in which the flight allows seat pre-assignment through the reservation module and it is not initialized at check-in, the Seat Maps information, features and pre-assigned seats will be maintained and taken from the pre-assignment module. seats in reservations (KPRS).
Once the flight is available for check-in (initialization of the flight either manual or automatic), both Seat Maps will coexist and will be synchronized automatically, indicating in KPRS the seats assigned in check-in (indicator # in 4G) and in pre-assigned check-in (indicator P in PV).
If the flight is initialized in the Check-In but no registration is assigned , the Seat Map that will be displayed will be the Pre-Assignment one (without considering the Check-in Seat Maps .
When initializing the flight, both Seat Maps begin to coexist. If the flight is de-initialized (PCD), the system will show the pre-assignment Seat map for reservations without considering the previous information of the Check-in Seat Map.
Differences between Seat Maps
From the moment the flight is initialized at check-in,seats that may be offered for pre-assignment will be only those that exist in both Seat Maps in the same cabins.
The seats that are configured in the pre-assignment Seat Map but do not exist in the Check-in Seat Map or exist but in a different cabin, can not be preassigned.
These seats will be shown as occupied (.) In the common display of Seat Map (4G *) and with the discrepancy indicator with the Seat Map of Check-In (x) in the extended display (4G **) and CRC ( VST).
Display a Seat Map
From the Check-In module, Seat Maps can be displayed in the usual way, with PV and PS commands.

In the cryptic Check-in Seat Map references (PV), you can view seats with a P indicator which are the ones that are preassigned from the reservation module.
Those seats are actually occupied in the Check-In by already accepted passengers (with seats preassigned or assigned at check-in), and will be shown with the dot indicator (.).
PS1998/21JUNCDG
.
In the Check-in Seat Map references (PS) you can see in the seats that are preassigned from the reservation module in yellow.
Seats effectively occupied in the Check-In by passengers already accepted (either with preassigned seats or assigned at check-in), will be shown in gray.
Check-in without preassigned seats
Check-in process is done in the usual way. If the passenger does not have a pre-assigned seat, the seat available in the Check-in Seat Map may be assigned.
This seat will be shown as occupied in the Check-in Seat Map and as assigned in the check-in in the Seat Map of pre-assignment (indicator #) and can not be assigned to another passenger in either of the two modules.
Check-In with preassigned seats
When searching for passengers at check-in through the PF command, the preassigned seat data under the SEAT column is included in the response.
Example:
PF1998/21JUNCDGFRA-CDGFRA CHECKIN-M> XX1998 /21JUN CDG ITEM CODE NAME FOID OFF ST CC SEAT FF 1 BIHYPA CDGFRA/ECO PP95934691 FRA HK YW 16C 2 IJOZPH CDGFRA/BUSINESS PP30581850 FRA HK CM 7F 3 RVMWHZ CDGFRA/FIRST PP02390021 FRA HK FF 2A
PF1 CHECKIN-M> XX1998 /21JUN CDG ITEM CODE NAME FOID OFF ST CC SEAT FF 1 BIHYPA CDGFRA/ECO PP95934691 FRA HK YW 16C
If the passenger does not have a preassigned seat, the SEAT field will be shown as blank.
Passenger acceptance on the same seat
If the passenger is effectively confirmed that will be on the the same seat that was preassigned, it will be possible to proceed directly with the passenger's acceptance without indicating the seat in the command and without the display of the Check Map Map Seat.
The system will assume that the preassigned seat is maintained in reservations and will be maintained at check-in.
PF2 CHECKIN-M> XX1998 /21JUN CDG ITEM CODE NAME FOID OFF ST CC SEAT FF 1 IJOZPH CDGFRA/BUSINESS PP30581850 FRA HK CM 7F

Passenger acceptance when the same seat is unavailable.
If a passenger has a preassigned seat, and this seat is not available at the time of check-in (due to discrepancies between Seat Maps, for example), the system will display the Check-in graphic Map Seat as if the passenger had no preassigned seat, allowing the check-in agent to proceed with the selection of a new seat.

Seats 29A and 29B are not available in the check-in seat map therefore, when carrying out the passenger acceptance command (PU1 or PU1-2), the Check-in seat Map will be displayed and will allow the agent select the new seats.
Acceptance of multiple passengers when some seats are not available
If you proceed to check-in more than one passenger with preassigned seats, and some of the seats do not exist in the Check-in Seat Map , you must proceed to single passengers acceptance.
On the one hand, passengers whose preassigned seats are also used in the Check-In may be accepted.
Separately, passengers who require a change of seat in the Check-In may be accepted.
Passenger Acceptance by changing a seat
When accepting a passenger at check-in, it is possible to assign a different seat to the one that has been preassigned.
For this, you must find the new seat to assign that is available through the different options by displaying the Check-in Seat Maps (PV or PS) and assign a new seat to the passenger by commands at the time of acceptance with the ST indicator <seat>.
Example:
- Passengers with preassigned seats 15A and 15B
