Rules

Descriptor Codes

Introduction SecuRate Air Direct provides the ability to create and maintain rulesfor Discounted Published, Flat Rate, and Net Net fare types. Theserules are created through a series of templates located in the RuleSelection Menu (4F-G). Once the rules have been created, the rulenumbers are then attached to the fare item according to the rulesgoverning the fare. The descriptor numbers are internally assigned bythe system when the rule numbers are added to the fare item template.Each grouping containing the same rules are given the same descriptornumber when they are attached to the fare item.

Descriptor

Expert Entries

With the introduction of linear entries, SecuRate Air Direct has the

capability to manually create a descriptor code by grouping rulestogether under one descriptor number. Expert entries are used tocreate, add, change, and delete a descriptor. The agreement must be increate/update mode. Once the descriptor is created, the user canappend the descriptor number to the fare item or multiple fare itemsbeing created with the SecuRate Air Direct linear entries.

Create a

DescriptorThe creation entry for a descriptor includes the rules number createdin the Flat Rate Rules Menu (4F-G). Up to 19 rules can be added to a

descriptor including a general rule. When the descriptor is created aresponse is returned advising the user of the descriptor numberassigned.

Descriptor Codes, continued

Descriptor

OptionWhen adding the descriptor to a linear entry for fare selection, the four-character descriptor number for the rules created is used. The linear option

to add a descriptor code to a linear entry is:

/DESC-(descriptor code number)

Reminder: a general rule is required for Flat Rate and Net Net fare types.

Example The descriptor table shows rules Z05C, T05C, and V05C have beencreated for descriptor code number 0002. The descriptor code number0002 is added to the fare selection linear entry to add the rule numbersto the fare. After the mandatory fields for the linear entry, optional field

is: /DESC-0002

Add to a

DescriptorTo add a rule to a specific descriptor, an expert entry is used. Thedescriptor number is mandatory. The entry to add rule number E05C todescriptor number 0001 is:

4F-R/DESC/0001/A-E05CResponse - OK - DESCRIPTOR 0001 UPDATED

Delete aDescriptor An expert entry allows the user to delete an entire descriptor or a specifiedrule within the descriptor. The descriptor number is mandatory. The

entry to delete descriptor 0001 is:

4F-R/DELETE/DESC/0001

Response- OK - DESCRIPTOR 0001 DELETED

To delete only rule number T05C from descriptor number 0003, the entryis:

4F-R/DESC/0003/D-T05C

Response- OK - DESCRIPTOR 0003 UPDATED

Note: Multiple adds and deletes can be made in the same entry to modify

a descriptor. Example: 4F-R/DESC/0004/A-E05C/D-C05C.
