In order to schedule order lines derived from either sales proposals or commercial orders follow the procedures below:
1.Compile the filters (e.g. station, status, period, etc) used to retrieve the list of all the order lines matching specified filters,
2.When all order lines have been retrieved, it will be possible to schedule them in the following ways:
a. AUTOMATIC MODE
Schedule order lines automatically (i.e. continuously without operator intervention) by launch the 'File >> Start all available scheduling operations' function from the main menu.
b. MANUAL MODE
Schedule those order lines manually (by clicking on them while holding the CTRL key), use any of the two methods described below:
•Only selected lines automatically : Once order lines are selected, either launch the 'automatic start (F4)' function from the contextual menu or the 'Start' function from the main menu. Selected order lines will be automatically scheduled by the Air Sales Booking Server based on the various criteria:
•Only selected lines manually : Once order lines are selected, launch the 'manual start (F12)' function, a small window that allows to select the parameters (i.e. period, days, time, runs number, blocks, etc) on which the scheduling will be based. Pressing the [Assign Space] button, the scheduling request will be sent to the Air Sales Booking Server that will perform the scheduling based on the parameters dictated in this window:
Which ever the scheduling method is, automatic or manual, the scheduling requests will be sent to the Air Sales Booking Server,
3.Once the scheduling operation has been performed, it will be possible to manage scheduled order lines by using the following functions:
•View the spaces the order line has been scheduled using the 'show/ modify (F11)' function from the details right-click menu.
•Consult all performed operations using the 'View batch operation log' function from the the details right-click menu.
•Reset the status of either running (use the 'reset scheduling (F7)' function from the contextual menu) or non-running (use the 'reset the status of non-running operations' function from the main tools menu) scheduling operations.
•Undo the entire scheduling (e.g.: if its considered incorrect, if it has been launched by mistake, etc) by using the 'delete all batch operations' function from the the details right-click menu.
•Delete scheduling operations which are in static status (e.g. due to a system crash or a connection loss) by launching the 'delete unfinished batches' from the main tools menu.
NB: In case the 'Send a SNMP message when an order line has scheduling problems' option is enabled (in Etere Configuration > Settings > Air Sales > Scheduling Rules), the Etere SNMP Console will send a SNMP message (code=14001) every time the Air Sales Scheduler is unable to start scheduling a detail (e.g. due to past dates, incongruent blocks, disabled fixed times, etc).
