Airline Authorization

The Airline Authorization option allows the user to query for Contractor Authorization Request (CA) records based on the following search criteria. The Airline Authorization functionality is used by a contractor (vendor) to create a Non-Routine Task Card for work that is contracted out to them by a customer. With this functionality, both the customer and vendor (accomplishing the work) have access to TRAX. Once the scope of the work is reviewed by the contractor, the contractor can go ahead and submit a Contractor Authorization Request to the customer outlining any unscheduled task(s) that needs to be completed in addition to the work the customer has outlined against the Vendor Contract. The Vendor Contract contains all of the parameters of the contract including all of the tasks (routine and Non-Routine) as well as the flat rate cap limits the customer has defined against the contract. The Airline Authorization window works in conjunction with the Vendor Contract functionality located through the Contract Button via the Vendor Master of the Settings Module. For additional information, refer to the Contract Button.

Note : The name of this window was changed from W/O Contractor Authorization Request to Airline Authorization in Trax Version 15 and all later releases.

The user may also select the New button to create new CAs from this window. Contractor Authorization Requests are typically created through the Work Order Header, or Work Order Detail windows via the Contractor Authorization Request Button. For additional information, refer to the Contractor Authorization Request Button via the Work Order section of the Production Training Manual.

Enter any of the below search criteria to query for a desired CAR and select the Find button.
