Local security Many of the security features in Amadeus are controlled centrally by the Amadeus security administrator (ASA). However, the local security functions in Amadeus allow many of the security features of an office to be maintained by one or more people in that office. Such a person is known as the local security administrator (LSA). The LSA can create and maintain sign banks and security profiles for the agents in his or her office.

Creating an Agent Sign and Profile You can create an agent sign and add the sign to the sign bank if you have ASA or LSA rights. Any security attributes that the LSA does not enter will take the values from the office default attributes. Example entry:

JGA1234AB.DOHQR2104/DUTA-GS/USN-NISHAD JGA 1234AB .DOHQR2104 /DUTA -GS /USN -NISHAD

Transaction code New Agent Sign (.) Dot and followed by office id Slash, followed by Duty Code security attribute Dash, followed by Duty Code (GS /AS / SU) Slash, followed by Username Security attribute Dash, followed by User name

Deleting an Agent Sign An agent sign can be deleted from the sign bank by Amadeus security administrator (ASA) or the local security administrator (LSA). Example entry:

JGX1234AB.DOHQR2104

History Every PNR that is created in the Amadeus central system has associated historical information. The historical information is a record of the creation of the PNR and of any additions, modifications, Cancellations and deletions that are subsequently made to it. The system updates PNR history at each end of transaction entry. The PNR header line appears at the top of the history. Subsequently, each activity in the PNR is listed as a numbered element. The number for each element indicates when that activity was performed. Activities that are associated with the creation of A PNR are numbered 000; activities from the first retrieval of the PNR are numbered 001, from the second retrieval 002, and so on. Each retrieval and set of modifications is called a step. For Example:

When an element is modified, cancelled or deleted, it appears in history with two numbers. Example:

The first number (001) indicates the stage at which the item was originally entered in the PNR. The second number (0010) indicates when the modification, cancellation or deletion was made.

CHAPTER 7 Segment Re-Book The segment re-book commands are also known as the "Should Be" commands due to their command identifier SB. You may re-book existing segments in a PNR to change a:

¾ Class of service in one or more segments ¾ Date in one or more segments ¾ Combination of both class and date You cannot make changes to open segments, information segments, nonparticipating airline segments, passive segments and group PNR's. The SB command cancels the existing segments and re-sells the segment using the new information. The system automatically cancels all elements that were segment associated to the segment(s) being re-booked. If the system is unable to confirm the new flight it will automatically display an availability screen for the date requested.

Copy / Clone PNR With the copy PNR entry, you can copy data from a retrieved PNR in order to create a new PNR. The actual elements that are copied from one PNR into another depend on the kind of entry you use (RRN, RRA, RRI or RRP). In some cases you can also specify options that select which data is to be copied. The copy PNR transactions are as follows:

Individual PNR Security Amadeus PNR security allows you to set up special security rules so that one or more offices can access a PNR. The PNR security functions may allow access to a PNR even when there are no other special agreements in place, and can override agreements that are contained in the current security tables. PNR security allows you to share PNR viewing and/or updating capabilities, without changing PNR ownership.

Steps to Creating PNR Security Element The PNR security element is unnumbered, and can only be created or modified by the responsible office. You can store up to five security agreements per PNR per entry, each of this containing office identification and the access mode to be applied to the office. The following table describes the access modes you can use:

Read Access (R) This code is for read access only. With this mode you are able to only retrieve and view the PNR, but no updates are allowed.

Read/Write Access (B) This code is for read and writes access. With this mode you are able to retrieve PNRs, view them, and make any required updates.

72


No Access (N) This code is for no access. With this mode you cannot retrieve any PNR, regardless of an extended security agreement.

Options Create Security element in the PNR, Entry: Cancel Security element in the PNR, Entry: Display Security Element in the PNR, Entry:

Splitting a PNR If you want to modify A PNR that has already been stored, you will need to split it. As the word split implies, you then create two separate PNRS, the original or parent PNR, and the associate PNR. You split a PNR when you wish to rebook a separate itinerary for one or more passengers. In so doing, you separate them from the original PNR, because all passengers in a PNR must have identical flight itineraries. The procedure to split a PNR consists of the following steps: 1.

Enter the transaction code SP followed by the number of the name element to be split., To split multiple names, enter the transaction code SP followed by the individual name element numbers or a range of name element numbers. The system displays a PNR for the name elements that you have just split. This PNR is temporarily identified as the *Associate PNR*.

2.

Enter a received from element (RF) for the associate PNR.

3.

Make the end transaction and file entry (EF) on the associate PNR. The system displays the original PNR with the temporary identifier *Parent PNR*.

4.

Enter a received from element (RF) for the parent PNR.

5.

End transaction (ET) on the parent PNR.

CHAPTER 8 Amadeus Queues It is very important that you work your queues regularly. You can use queues to do the following: - Simplify your work environment - Organize your workload - Send PNRS and messages to queues in your office and to branch office queues - Work on PNRS and messages that require further action

PNRS may require further action for the following reasons: - Segments, services, options, or seats from a waitlist have not yet been confirmed. - The office responsible for the PNR has changed.

-

There has been a change in There has been a change in The ticketing time limit has There has been a change in

the flight segment. the ticketing arrangement. expired. the group PNR.

Each airline and travel agent is provided with a queue bank for automatic placement of PNRS and messages. The Amadeus Queue system is an electronic diary that helps you to manage your travel office’s messages and reservations. The Queue system sorts reservations and messages into three divisions

Queue Numbers Queue Numbers are assigned automatically by the system. They correspond to the type of action required in the PNR.

Categories Queue Categories are a sub-division that divide PNRS in the same queue corresponding to the exact action required in the PNR.

Date Ranges Date ranges divide PNRS in the same queue in the same category according to the urgency of the action required.

Informative Pricing The Amadeus Informative pricing transaction FQP is a fare calculation tool, which allows you to estimate the fare for an itinerary. This is especially useful at times when you need to find the price for an itinerary, but you are not yet ready to make a reservation. You must use Airport codes, rather than City codes, so that the system can calculate the appropriate taxes. If you prefer, you can create a mask, and let the system guide you through different options. You can calculate discount fares, including cumulative discounts. The following conditions apply:

You can use FQP for all fares except Group fares and air passes.

FQP is applicable for past date fares up to seven days in the past for the US and Canada, 361 days elsewhere, and twelve months into future, which in the Amadeus system is 361 days (12months).

Journey Type Limits Journey Type A round or circle trip can contain a maximum of:

Limits 16 flight segments, or 14 flight segments and 2 surface segments, or 15 flight segments and 1 surface element, or 15 fare break points

A one-way trip can contain a maximum of:

15 flight segments, or 13 flight segments and 2 surface segments, or 14 flight segments and 1 surface segment, or 14 fare break points

If you do not enter any specific options to your entry, the system makes the following assumptions: An adult passenger type. The current date for the first segment, and an open date for all the other segments An open booking class. The system displays the lowest possible price for each class. YY fares for travel agencies, and carrier specific fare for airlines. Stopover all the cities.

You can perform informative pricing on an itinerary by entering the transaction code FQP, followed by a City pair, or several City pairs.

When there are several passengers, the system displays a list of passenger and fare details. A fare proposed by the system is valid until you do an end of transaction The link with the Amadeus Fare server has a limit of three minutes. If you are inactive for longer than three minutes, you will be disconnected. Re-enter a pricing entry For selected markets, when the amounts of fares offered are equal, carrier specific fares take precedence over YY fares. The system prices an itinerary in the currency of the country of origin, and automatically converts in to the currency of your terminal location when needed. When you choose to store a TST, remember that the validity of the TST varies, depending on your location. The TST validity decided by each market individually, and may be minutes, hours, or days. 1 day validity for Qatar market.

Amadeus Best Buy Pricing Amadeus Best Buy pricing enables you to price a PNR with the lowest available fare for a booked itinerary. It checks for lower fares and availability in lower booking classes or for lower fares in the same booking class as already booked. The system suggests only fares that are applicable to the itinerary and the passenger type. It also checks the rule conditions, such as advance purchase, and minimum and maximum stay requirements. Best Buy can automatically rebook an itinerary in a lower booking class, by using the highest access. Alternatively, the system can inform you of lower fares without rebooking, to enable you to check if the suggested fare is suitable for the passenger, without changing the PNR. You can also choose to store, or not to store the pricing response in a TST. In certain markets, Best Buy checks for lower fares across all cabins of the aircraft, and gives preference to the highest cabin when the same fare applies. In other markets, Best Buy checks for lower fares in the same cabin as the already booked segment. Your local Amadeus Help Desk can inform you about the default for your market.

CHAPTER 10 Amadeus Central Ticketing The Amadeus central system allows you to automatically price the air itinerary of a PNR. The automatic pricing entry FXP creates a transitional stored ticket (TST) which contains all the information necessary to issue a ticket. A TST can also be created when pricing is requested before end of transaction on the PNR. The newly created PNR must contain the flight segments and a passenger name. A maximum of ten TSTS are allowed for each passenger with different portions of the air itinerary. Multiple TSTS must be created with segment association. Ticketing is requested by selecting TST and/or segment numbers when more than one TST has been created. A display of a TST can be obtained as a result of a TQT entry. Any time a modification is made to the PNR, a PNR change message is automatically appended to the header line of the TST. It is necessary to verify the validity of the TST and remove this message before ticketing is requested. When the system cannot price the PNR, you must manually create a TST with the TTC entry. The response to this entry is an empty ticket panel. You can update the ticket panel as follows: - You fill in the TST panel fields with the necessary information using guided mode entries, or - You use the format entry to enter information on the command line of the panel or in the PNR. A TST that is automatically created by the system is called an AST. A manually created TST is called an MST. You can print a ticket using transaction code TTP. After the ticket has been issued, Amadeus receives a ticket number message which is stored in the PNR FA element. The TK element in the PNR is automatically changed to TK to show that the ticket has been issued.

121


Area Reporting Plans / Bank Settlement Plans Each time an agency issues a ticket on a given airline, the agency must report the sale to the airline for payment purposes. To simplify the reporting of sales to the airlines, IATA and the airlines have formed reporting plans. Airlines’ wishing to participate in the reporting plans given an agreement where they will accept payment from a third party, usually a bank. Bank Settlement Plans (BSPs) are sometimes referred to as Area Reporting plans (ARPs). In the U.S, the reporting plan is called ARC (Airline Reporting Corporation). A BSP record exists for each reporting plan and contains all the airlines that participate in the plan. The Service Management Centre maintains the BSP record in Amadeus. If any agency does not have a designated ticketing carrier, a BSP code must be present in the office profile (field ARP). This applies to all offices that can issue tickets. BSP procedure are established by IATA in Geneva There is a Plan Manger for each country who administers and overseas the plan within a particular geographical area. The National System or National Distribution System provides BSP information to Amadeus. BSP GULF has office in Sharjah (U.A.E). To display the area reporting plan participants for specific country, enter TGBD-XY (where XY replaces the ISO country code). QATAR is under Gulf Area (AE), Enter: TGBD -AE System Response:

Ticketing Agreement Table A Ticketing (T) / PTA (P) / Electronic Ticketing (E) agreement table is maintained for each Amadeus Participating carrier airlines, if the airline has provided this information. The purpose of the table is to define interline ticketing, PT, and Electronic Ticketing agreements. For example: TGAD - BA/ EK

CHAPTER 12 Amadeus Automated Refunds Amadeus automated refunds allows you to refund sale documents and electronic tickets quickly and easily. The refund transactions you enter search for data stored in the central ticketing server's document database. If the data is still available, the system uses it to create a refund record. Data is normally stored in the system for 180 days. If the data is no longer available, you enter details of the refund manually into a blank refund record. You can process refund records directly for full refunds, or manually update them for partial refunds. Here is an example of a query report that contains refunded documents.
