KIU_Click_FARES_Export/Import
This functionality enables the possibility to update the air fare amounts via a file that is exported and imported from the Kiu Fares Module (Kiu Click).
Duty 8 is required to access the module.
Does not apply to allotment or ancillary service fares
Step by Step:
1. Fare Export
Enter Kiu Click > Settings > Other Options > Kiu Fares > Fares Export
2. Filters
Enter the filters to search the fares
Notes:
Filters are optional fields, if they are not entered the system will generate a file or display all the existing fares in Kiu Fares
The maximum fares to be displayed on the screen or included in the exported file cannot exceed 155000 characters. If the search result exceeds the maximum file size and the "SEARCH" button has been selected, the system will display a message asking for filters. If the "EXPORT" button had been selected, a file with no data will be downloaded and its name will contain the text "FILE ERROR MAX SIZE EXCEEDED".
Each filter has a help icon next to it with a description of the field and its limitations
By clicking the SEARCH button, the system will display the fares on the screen
By clicking the EXPORT button and then the CSV option, the system will generate a file including all the fares according to the filters criteria.
It is not necessary to click SEARCH first and then EXPORT; a file can be exported directly without having to display the data on the screen previously
The exported file will be saved locally in "DOWNLOAD" folder
If the maximum allowed is exceeded in the SR: OFFICE field, the “+” symbol will be displayed at the end of the data in order to notify the user that there is more information but it will not be displayed on the screen or included in the exported file.
3. File Name
The file name structure is as follows:
<CARRIER>_<ORIG><DEST>_<FILE DATE>_<HOUR>_<MINUTES>_<SECONDS>_UTC.CSV
Example: XX_FTERGA_28MAR23_20_13_22_UTC.csv
Notes:
If it is not filtered by specific origin and/or destination, "ALL" will be displayed in the file name
If a "file reference", the name structure is as follows:
<CARRIER>_<ORIG><DEST>_<FILE REFERENCE>_<FILE DATE>_<HOUR>_<MINUTES>_<SECONDS>_UTC.CSV
Example: XX_FTERGA_PROMOFARES_28MAR23_18_02_20_UTC.csv
4. Fare Amount Modification
Once the file has been downloaded, the fare amounts can be modified from:
Notepad, Excel, Google Sheets
Only the FARE AMOUNT can be modified
Important: the file must be saved as CSV
If any other data (other than the amount) is modified, the system will not process the record and will not apply the change
The maximum number of decimals is 2. Decimals are separated from the amount by a “period”. Eg 100.00 (When editing in excel or google sheets, the cell format must be "text").
5. File Import
Enter Kiu Click > Settings > Other Options > Kiu Fares > Fares Import
Upload to the file that has the new amounts and click on the "Confirm and Upload" button.
The file validation process may take a few minutes:
Note: The file cannot be imported after 24 hours of export
6. File Processing / Monitoring
In order to apply the changes, go to the "File import process and monitoring" section
