Air export, from booking to pre-alert.

The Air Export module covers outbound air-cargo operations end-to-end.

• Allotments — block space pre-purchased from airlines.
• Customer Booking — shipper reserves chargeable weight.
• Carrier Booking — your booking against the airline.
• MAWB — Master Air Waybill issued by the airline; HAWBs issued per shipper.

Air Allotments are commercial commitments with airlines or air consolidators — typically known as Allotments, Hard/Soft Allocations, or BSAs (Block Space Agreements).

Air specifics differ from Sea:

• Capacity unit is usually kg of chargeable weight (not TEU/containers). Sometimes ULD positions for hard allocations.
• Period typically tied to a flight series (e.g. "Emirates EK-302 / EK-303 service KHI-LHR-KHI for the quarter")
• "Hard" allotment = guaranteed space + you pay if you don't use it
• "Soft" allotment = priority but no penalty if unused

Equipment-first dashboard view shows at a glance: "Emirates KHI→LHR, +500kg band: 1,800 kg available of 5,000 kg".

A Carrier Booking for air is your reservation with the airline (e.g. Emirates SkyCargo) or air consolidator. Each Customer Booking can link to one Carrier Booking (1-to-many relationship — one carrier flight can serve multiple customer bookings via consolidation).

Cost side: rates here drive carrier-side AP. Sell side stays on the Customer Booking.

Status updates only via the Tracking tab.

A Customer Booking for air freight captures your customer's demand to ship cargo by air. Air-specific fields (Air Details tab):

• Flight No + Flight Date
• MAWB (Master Air Waybill) and HAWB (House Air Waybill) numbers
• Airline party (can differ from Carrier if booking through a co-loader)
• Weight: choose Chargeable Weight or Gross Weight (toggle on the form)
• DG Class (Dangerous Goods) + Special Handling codes (PER perishable / AVI live animals / VAL valuable / HUM human remains)

Direct shipments are the default; tick Consol if cargo is consolidated with other shippers.

Status updates only via the Tracking tab — header status field is locked.

Air SI Inbound tracking — same as Sea SI Inbound but for Air bookings. Critical because air cut-offs are tighter (sometimes 6 hours before flight departure).

Status colors:

• 🟢 Received — customer sent the SI
• 🟡 Pending — within Latest Acceptance Time
• 🔴 Late — past Latest Acceptance Time

Mark received: click upload → attach SI document → save.

Air SI Outbound tracking — forward customer SIs to the airline / GSA. Air freight typically has tighter cut-offs than sea, so missing the Latest Acceptance Time means rolling to the next flight.

Status colors:

• 🟢 Sent — SI submitted to airline
• ⚠ Awaiting Customer
• 🟡 Pending — have customer SI; not yet sent to airline
• 🔴 Overdue — past Latest Acceptance time

MAWB (Master Air Waybill) is the contract of carriage between you and the airline.

• The airline issues ONE MAWB per consolidated shipment.
• You issue HAWBs (House Air Waybills) per actual shipper inside.
• MAWB number format: 123-12345678 (3-digit airline prefix + 8-digit serial).

Same flow as Sea SI Request, scoped to Air bookings. Recipient configurable per Direction.

Air-scoped tracking. Same single-record click pattern as Sea Tracking.

Settings that apply across the entire Air Export module. Each setting is grouped under a Category tab — pick the tab, change the value, click Save Settings.
