Passenger Services Conference Resolutions ManualRECOMMENDED PRACTICE 1745 BAGGAGE INFORMATION MESSAGES PSC(31)1745 Members who transmit and receive Baggage Information Messages, including the Baggage Transfer Message (BTM), Baggage Source Message (BSM), Baggage Processed Message (BPM), Baggage Unload Message (BUM), Baggage Not Seen Message (BNS), Baggage Control Message and the Baggage Manifest Message (BMM) and the Baggage Request (BRQ), shall apply the following definitions, formats and specifications for the creation, transmission, receipt and interpretation of those messages. Structure Of This Document Section 1 – Introduction Section 2 – Data Dictionary Section 3 – Baggage Transfer Message (BTM) Section 4 – Baggage Source Message (BSM) Section 5 – Baggage Processed Message (BPM) Section 6 – Baggage Unload Message (BUM) Section 7 – Baggage Not Seen Message (BNS) Section 8 – Baggage Control Message (BCM) Section 9 – Baggage Manifest Message (BMM) Section 10 — Baggage Request (BRQ) Attachment A – Lists 3- and 4-character codes for the Baggage Exception Data element (.E), including both industry codes and codes currently in use on a bilateral basis. The codes in this attachment contain only suggested codes and are not meant to exclude any codes used by consenting partners on a bilateral basis. Attachment B –- A diagrammatic illustration highlighting the use of the baggage messages. Section 1 — Introduction 1.1 PURPOSE This Recommended Practice governs Baggage Information Messages, which are sent between departure control systems and Automated Baggage Handling systems. The messages are sent, received and processed by those systems in order to achieve automated baggage sortation, passenger and baggage reconciliation, and other baggage services. How these messages are applied within these baggage processes is specified in IATA/ATA RP 1800/30.49 “Automated Baggage Handling based on the IATA License Plate Concept”. Baggage information included in these messages is linked with the unique 10-digit bag tag number defined as the Licence Plate (refer to IATA Resolution 740; ATA 30.35). 1.2 COMMUNICATIONS Depending on the protocol used, the communications portion of the message may contain an address element and a communications reference element. While many Members use Type-B messages, especially for in-house communications, when interfacing to 3rd party systems or where data is required to be received more quickly, it may be necessary to transmit messages using other protocols such as Type-A, Edifact, X.25, etc. In these situations the IATA manual, “Systems And Communications Reference” should be consulted along with direct dialogue between the airline and the operator of the automated baggage system. 1110 30TH EDITION, JUNE 2010 Recommended Practice 1745 1.2.1 Address Element If a message is sent as a Type-B, the following list of Office Function Designators (OFD) for each Baggage Message should be used. Message From To OFD Example BTM Host Host/BHS BT LHRBTBA BSM Host BSS BS PITBSUS BSM Host BRS BR FRABRXH BSM BHS/Host BHS (see note) BPM BHS/Host Host KM SYDKMQF BPM BHS/Host BHS (see note) BUM Host BRS BR LHRBRBA BNS BHS/Host Host LL GVALLSR BNS BHS/Host Host BM/WM ATLBMXS BCM BHS Host KM FRAKMLH BCM Host BRS BR FRABRLH BCM Host BSS BS LHRBSBA BCM Host Host KM LHRKMBA BCM BHS/Host BHS (see note) BMM BHS/Host Host/BHS (see note) BSS = Baggage Sortation System. BRS = Baggage Reconciliation System. BHS = Baggage Handling System (e.g. BRS, BSS, Baggage Tracking System, etc.) Note: Use of Office Function Designators as shown in Recommended Practice 1704 or use of web/data servers are by bilateral agreement. 1.2.2 Communications Reference Element This element identifying the sender of the message, is governed by the IATA “Systems And Communications Reference” manual. If the message is a Type-B, the date and time is usually included by the communication software. Messages sent using other protocols will be dependent on whether the protocol requires a communications element. Example of a Type-B: .HDQKMUS 231800 1.3 SEQUENCE OF DATA ELEMENTS When transmitting any of the Baggage Messages, elements are to be presented in the order shown in the Element Sequence Summary of each message. 1.4 MESSAGE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Acknowledgement of messages is optional, but recommended for security relevant messages (e.g. BUM). When requested, the acknowledgement is to indicate that the message was received. Refer to Section 8 for Acknowledgement Message details. To request an acknowledgement to a message, a Message Reference Number and Acknowledgement Request must be included in the .V element of the message. Refer to Sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 for details. 1.5 PARTITIONING OF MESSAGE The Baggage Transfer Message, Baggage Processed Message, Baggage Not Seen Message, Baggage Control Message and Baggage Manifest Message (BTM, BPM, BNS, BCM and BMM) may be partitioned. Refer to Sections 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 for details. 30TH EDITION, JUNE 2010 1111 Passenger Services Conference Resolutions Manual 1.6 DELETE FUNCTION The DEL function should be used to delete, or mark a record as deleted on the outbound flight(s) and conditionally on the onward flights (.F, conditionally .O). (See 4.9.3 for an example of the DEL function.) A tag number that has been deleted may be reused for the same passenger for the same flight and date. See Section 1.9 for Processing Of Duplicate Tag Numbers. Examples: a. Where a bag tag is issued in error and the bag has not been introduced into an automated baggage system. b. Where a tag number was incorrectly manually entered. c. Where a passenger checked 2 bags and decides to take one of them as hand baggage. d. When a passenger's itinerary (.F) changes for flight/date information for any reason after baggage check-in, the latest BSM data must first be deleted and a new BSM sent. e. When a BTM has been previously sent for an itinerary that is no longer current, a BTM DEL should be sent.
