Create SSP Operation

The operation allows to create special space on a flight in manual mode (see Physical Cabin Capacity).

This operation is applied to segments. The operation allows to create on a flight a special space with the Manual changes marker. Special space agreement is not created.

It is possible to synchronize conditions of mass operation with the conditions of the business rules by the “Consider manual changes” option. If the option is active, then specified conditions of the business rule is not synchronized with the SSP on a flight. The following changes were carried out with this SSP in manual mode:

• Change of SSP capacity
• Change of return level of unsold seats from SSP
• Change of return time of unsold seats from SSP.

If the option is not active, then the changes made manually are synchronized with the “Special space agreement” business rule.

The given operation allows to create only SSP with a unique name by this operation. If the SSP with this name is already created for the cabin, then it is not possible to carry out the operation.
