Postponed commit

home > Planning phase > Postponed commit

Postponed commit is an important condition, because it has implications to the work flow. Postponed commit should be added whenever the TO cannot directly guarantee the leg. For instance, a taxi company, who needs an acceptance of a cab driver before the leg can be committed. This condition is also reflected in the scenarios field of the GET /operator/meta, but this implies that all planned trips are 'postponed commits'. In some cases there is a mix: fx if the taxi company is guaranteeing legs in the inner city, while it takes the 'postponed commit' approach in the outskirts.

The postponed commit scenario is handled in the Booking-phase, but if you use this scenario, add the conditionPostponedCommit to the result of the planning (in both cases, booking-intent=true and booking-intent=false), to notify the MP of the TO's behaviour.
