Overview
Capacity Management System.
The ACS Capacity Management System (CMS) has been developed in order to
allow an easy and fast way to Manage Bookings.
The bookings can be entered manually by DHL staffing, GSA’s / customers who use
the Customer Booking part (Available on http://aviationcargo.dhl.com), or through
IATA messaging.
The booking requests will either be processed manually or automatically depending
on the acceptation rules that have been entered in the system.
Printing, mailing and reply messaging to error and confirmations are available in the
system.
This document covers basic booking agent functions in the order that they will be
performed within CMS.
