Real Transports
Real Transports can be found in Transports/Real Transports. They are a special case and as such are somewhat difficult to create.

Just like any transport, the user has to write it's code and select the departure and arrival. Unlike any transport, it is imperative to select the Reporting Type. After the actions have been completed, the user can click the Save button and proceed to the next step.

The next step is to configure the transport's timetable. This process has the same steps as a normal transport, as in filling star and end dates, departure and arrival times, but now is mandatory to fill the Flight No. case. To complete the action the user has to press Insert.

The last step in creating a real transport is setting up it's allotments from All.Manager. The user will have to fill in the start and end dates, the number of days between flights, the number of seats and guaranteed seat, as well as the seat price. To complete this stage, the user has to press Create and after that Generate.


The only problem with a real transport is the fact that the user has to create one for outbound and one for homebound. So in the end the user wil have created 2 Real Transports for use on one Normal Transport.
Real Transport
To properly use a real transport, the user must have a normal transport linked to it. A normal transport cannot be edited for this purpose. A new transport has to be created specifically for that purpose.
These settings also apply to GDS.
The user creates the transport as usual, with a significant change. He will check the case for Dynamic Itineraries.

For this step, the user must create an interval and assign the transport to a brand.
This step creates the link between a normal and real transports. For this the user has to go to Legs and click on New Leg button.

Next the user has to set the departure and arrival, as well as the days between flights and click Save

This action has to be repeated but with the departure and arrival places inversed. So that in the end it will look like this.

Another thing the user has to do is check the OwnDatabase and OneWay boxes and then click Save.

Last thing to do in this section is to setup the flights. Press the Configure button, select the departure date and then press Test Search

The Test Search will display all available real transports flights. The user can narrow them down if they are too many, using the filters.

After the user has found the real transport it wanted, the settings can be saved. The same thing must be done for the second leg.
And lastly, after all these have been made, the user has to press Update Flight Data for both legs.

From this point on everything is done like in the case of a normal transport. The user can proceed to create a fix quota, save the transport, reset the cache and start booking.
