SAP Bidding Basics 101!

This brief manual has been designed to walk you through the SAP bidding process in a step by step manner.

TWO NEW OPTIONS:

There will be two new options on the main CATCREW menu.

1. The first is Option #37 that will contain 3 separate screens. They are the SAP Bid Input Screen, the SAP Generic Bid Filter Screen, and the SAP Generic Bid Expansion Screen.

2. The second is Option #38. This is the SAP Bid summary / Bid Results display. This screen has two uses. Before SAP closes it displays all SAP bids. When SAP has closed and the results are posted, Option 38 shows the bid results as well as all error messages associated with your SAP bids.

Option #37

To Begin Bidding:

Begin by logging in to CATCREW with your Employee number and PIN number.

Select CATCREW Option 37 and press the ENTER key two times to bring up the SAP Bid Input Screen.

*Note: It is recommended that you print your screen and note your trip value, for pairings, vacation, etc. on your hard copy in order to be more prepared for bidding in SAP. Please note that you must review and resolve any legality errors in order for any Units to be successfully processed. These legality errors must be resolved by contacting crew scheduling, or by selecting COUNT CARRYOVER-IN: “NO”

Option 37 will show you your Primary Line of flying and the first SAP unit (for definitions and field explanations, please see the SAP Manual). Look in the upper right of the SAP Bid Input screen to see if you have been awarded Vacation Buy-back. If you have been awarded, you will see a message: *AWARDED VACATION BUY BACK *

The cursor will be flashing in the Expand column of the first ADD Line.

DROP Only Bid:

To drop a trip for over projection (to get you into your Min/Max window), you would put an “X” in the D column on the line to the right of the trip(s) you want to drop.

Then press the ENTER key twice. The cursor will move to the *UPDATE UNIT: line and you must type “YES” and press the ENTER key to update (save) this unit. For a shortcut to typing “YES” and pressing the ENTER key, you may simply press the F5 key and it will save the unit.

If you decide later on that you do NOT want to keep this unit, you would type “DEL” on the *UPDATE UNIT: line and press ENTER.

When the unit has been saved, you will see the message: **** UNIT #001 HAS BEEN SAVED AS UNIT #001 ****

When you see the UNIT #xxx HAS BEEN SAVED, you will automatically be moved to the next unit.
