This functionality allows seats pre-assigment from the reservations module.
A Seat Map assigned to each equipment is created in the KASAT table that allows pre-assignment. When creating a flight through the Schedule module with an equipment with PRS, an inventory of Seat Map will be generated, creating an independent Seat Map for each flight / date generated.
Different features can be assigned to each seat / row / column of the Seat Map that will then be shown in the display (Seat Map Display). These are the conditions for the corresponding pre-assignment, for example, seats with additional cost or enabled only for certain classes of Reservations.
The seats can be preassigned from the PNR creation according to the parameters configuration set in JJPRS.
Once the Flight Check-In is enabled, the Seat Map assigned to the Check-In and flight registration must have the same conditions as the one created in Schedule and assigned in the KASAT table. Both seat maps will be kept in sync with each other allowing them to continue pre-assigning seats from the reservation module as well as assigning seats through the WebCheck-In (v2) or counters. If there are discrepancies between both Seat Maps, while the flight is available in the Check-In, pre-assignment will be allowed only for those seats that exist in both Seat Maps in the same cabin.
A passenger with a pre-assigned seat in a reservation can be checked directly through WebCheck-In or at counters. The seat can also be modified at the time of acceptance.
When modifying any preassigned seats at the time of Check-In, the system will release the pre-assigned seat but will not modify the SEAT element in PNR. That is, visually, the PNR will remain with the preassigned seat even if it has been released.
A single Seat Map can only be assigned to a single KASAT equipment and the Seat Map number created will match the KASAT equipment to which it is related.
Automatic seats re-accommodation will be possible only in cases when an equipment change occurs and the pre-assigned seat exists and is available in the new Seat Map. In cases where the same seat is not available, or in case of flight cancellation, the system will proceed to change the status of all SEAT elements to UN and place all PNRs on HDQ queue 55 and of the corresponding city for manual seat re-accommodation.
In case of creating, modifying, or deleting Seat Maps already assigned to active flights, the system will allow to change the same equipment already assigned for the changes to be applied through Schedules.
