1042-V2 Galileo E-Ticketing & Automated Refunds - Setup & Support Guide (2007) 3

Introduction Electronic Ticketing Electronic Ticketing, or E-Ticketing, is being progressively introduced by increasing numbers of airlines and provides many benefits to passengers, travel agents, and airlines.

The Galileo Electronic Ticket product allows travel agents to create Booking Files in the normal way and then generate E-Ticket requests to participating airlines.

The E-Ticket is actually created in the airline database and can be retrieved for display by the original agent for revalidation or refund. Galileo also prints any supporting documentation as required by BSP and E-Ticket data is reported electronically to BSP in the same way as current automated paper tickets.

The passenger no longer requires a paper ticket and only needs to provide proof of identity at the airline check-in counter in return for a boarding pass.

Automated Refunds Automated Refunds allows Agents to produce automated refund notices from Galileo for partial or complete refunds of manually written flight tickets, automated flight tickets, and electronic tickets.

This Guide This guide outlines the procedures for the setting up of Electronic Ticketing and Automated Refunds for the Galileo NDC and for individual agents. The content of this guide is aimed for NDC Service Centre staff and Support Executives.

For complete details of the agency E-Ticket and Automated Refund functions please refer to the relevant Agency User Guides.

E-Ticketing


E-Ticketing

NDC Setup In order to set-up and maintain Galileo Electronic ticketing the NDC will need to carry out the following procedures.

BSP Options Table The BSP Options Table indicates and controls a range of information for the operation of E-Ticketing in each BSP region. This table is controlled by Galileo International but can be displayed by NDC staff for information.

Unemulated

CGET04 Display the BSP Options Table for Australia (04)

CGET05 Display the BSP Options Table for New Zealand (05)

Emulated

CGET Display the BSP Control Table for local BSP region.

Electronic Ticketing NDC Setup


Field Description

DOCUMENT TYPES AUD Audit Coupon

AGT Agent Coupon

PAX Passenger Receipt

UCF Credit Charge Form

EXC Exchange Authority

REF Refund Authority

Each Document type can be set as;

N Never Prints

O Optional Print (can be decided by the agent)

Y Mandatory Print

CARRIERS This field lists all carriers participating in Electronic Ticketing in the local BSP region.

DEFAULT Indicates the default ticket type for each carrier; ie the ticket type issued by using a ticket print entry without an ET modifier.

P Paper Ticket

E Electronic Ticket

POSACK Indicates if the carrier requires that a Vendor locator be returned before E-Ticketing will be permitted.

Y Vendor locator is required prior to E-Ticket issue.

N Vendor Locator is NOT required prior to E-Ticket issue.

If the BSP Options Table has not been set correctly the E-Ticket request may reject with one of the following error messages;

"ELECTRONIC TICKETING IS NOT AVAILABLE FOR(VALIDATING CARRIER)"

"ELECTRONIC TICKETING NOT AUTHORISED FOR YOUR BSP REGION"

"ELECTRONIC TICKETING NOT AUTHORISED FOR YOUR TICKET TYPE"

NDC Setup Electronic Ticketing


E-Ticket Initialisation Electronic Tickets by necessity use system generated ticket numbers. A range of ticket numbers will be supplied by BSP to the Galileo NDC and it will be the Service Centre’s responsibility to load these numbers into the system.

If system generated ticket numbers are NOT currently in use then this function has to be initialised first. This procedure will also include designating a Service Centre printer where a warning message will be generated when the ticket range is low and a new range of numbers needs to be obtained from BSP.

TNBA/F101823 Initialise BSP system generated ticket numbers and assign the printer for warning messages. Response: BSP INITIALISED

TNBC/F101833 Change the initialisation. Response: BSP SET UP CHANGED

TNBX/F101833 Delete the initialisation. Response: BSP DELETED



Adding E-Ticket Numbers After having initialised the BSP system generated ticket function, it will now be possible to enter the ticket number ranges.

TNRA1600000000-1600999999/1000000 Add ticket number range. (Note: Check digits are NOT required).

The system will respond showing the Range Table with the entered ticket numbers shown in the “Current” category. If a current range already exists then the ticket numbers added will be placed into the “Future” category and will automatically move to Current once the existing current range is used up.

TNRX1600000000-1600999999 Delete a ticket range.

The response will again be the Range Table with the deleted range now shown as zeros.

TNRD Display the ticket Range Table.

The ticket Range table is automatically accessed by the system whenever an agency requires a supply of system generated ticket numbers. The ticket numbers are allocated from the number range to the agency based on the TCNT field of the agency’s AAT, this field is set to 1 meaning tickets are allocated in a block of 1,000 at a time.

Allocation of tickets to an agency will occur automatically at the first E-ticket request, or when the agency runs out of ticket numbers.



Ticket Allocation Log Once ticket number allocations to agencies has commenced, it will be possible to view a “Log” which displays details of the allocations made.

TNLD Display the entire Log for the local NDC.

TNLD/XXX Display the Log for pseudo city code XXX

The log will maintain records for the past 100 days, older records will be automatically deleted.



Removing E-Tickets from Agencies Should an E-Ticket TINS range need to be removed from an individual agency (eg. ticket authority rescinded by BSP), the following procedure should be used.

This procedure will prevent E-Ticketing access and delete the ticket numbers allocated to an individual agency . Any deleted ranges will be shown on the “Log” as RETURNED and will be reported as such to BSP.

1. Change the TCNT field of the AAT to zero JAXXX/MAD+TCNT-0

2. Delete the range TNAX/XXX



Agent Support Policy An agents first point of contact in the event of problems will be the NDC Service Centre, therefore these staff must be familiar with the procedures contained within the guide. If a problem cannot be resolved locally then normal PT procedures should be followed.

Some problems may be vendor specific and in these cases it may be necessary to refer the agent to the individual carrier.

Electronic Ticketing Agency Setup


Agency Setup Travel Agents wanting access to Galileo Electronic Ticketing must firstly approach the Sales Department of each airline for which this facility is required. The airlines will require that the agency undertake carrier specific E-Ticketing training before they will authorise its implementation.

When approved, the airlines concerned will request BSP to authorise E-Ticketing for the agency and BSP will then send a request to Galileo for activation.

Galileo Electronic Ticketing can be activated for agency sites with or without an automated ticket printer. The agency must be IATA accredited and in addition to any specific airline training at least one person must have completed the Galileo Automated & Electronic Ticketing course.

AAT Settings To activate an individual agency a “Prime Authoriser” will need to carry out the following procedures using “SU” duty code, ie. SA/SU.

The AAT for sites being switched over to E-Ticketing will need to be set as per the following procedures.

Non Ticket Printer Agents These sites have their AAT set up in exactly the same way as sites with automated ticket printers.

Agency Setup Electronic Ticketing


TKLS Set to Y (Yes) JAXXX/MGI+TKLS-Y (XXX=Pseudo City Code) This field indicates that E-Ticketing has been activated and may only be changed by the Galileo Service Centre after request from a carrier. If the TKLS field is set to N the following error message will be returned when trying to issue an electronic ticket: "ELECTRONIC TICKETING IS NOT AUTHORISED FOR YOUR AGENCY"

SYSC AUSTRALIA set to SYD NEW ZEALAND set to AKL JAXXX/MGI+SYSC-SYD (XXX=Pseudo City Code)

TCNT Set to 1 JAXXX/MAD+TCNT-1 (XXX=Pseudo City Code) The TCNT field needs to be set to provide the pseudo city with a range of electronic ticket numbers in the TINS Table.



Agents STD Profile In order for an agent to access to the Support Document Print Table the ETOD section on the third screen of an agents STD profile must be modified. (STD/(agents sign on)/**).

The ETOD section consists of two fields;

First field Set to Y this will allow the agent to "give" access to the Support Document Print Table to other agents.

Second field Set to Y will enable the agent to access and update the Support Document Print Table.

The following error messages may be encountered;

"NO SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS SET UP FOR BSP" An agent has tried to access the Support Document Print Table when no Support Documents have been activated in the BSP Options Table.

"SUPPORT DOCUMENT PRINT TABLE NOT FOUND" Document types in the BSP Options Table are set to either O or Y but the agents ETOD field has not been activated.

"INVALID-NOT AUTHORISED" The agent is not authorised to update the Support Document Print Table.



Printer Linkage Sites that currently have Galileo automated ticket printers need no changes to their current printer setup.

Non Ticket Printer Agents These agencies will need to have their current itinerary or dump printer linked additionally as a Ticket printer.

1) Enter HMLD to display the current printer linkage.

2) Enter HMLM(GTID)DT, eg, HMLM275F02DT, to add the Itinerary/Dump printer as a ticket device (TKT DEV). The FM column (stock type) should show as I (Itinerary).

3) Enter HMOM(GTID)-ITN, eg. HMOM275F02-ITN, to make certain that the TKT DEVis set to use Itinerary stock (FM column to show I).



Support Document Print Table The Support Document Print Table shows which E-Ticket documents are mandatory and indicates any documents which may be optional. The documents which appear in this table are controlled by Galileo International through the BSP Options Table, mentioned earlier.

If any documents have been set as optional, these can be decided by the agent as to whether they print or not and can be set through the Support Document Print Table.

Unlike a D.Y.O. the layout of Support Documents cannot be changed, as these documents are based on the IATA E-Ticketing Resolution.



Table Display The Support Document Print Table is displayed by typing either;

Unemulated (Support Use)

HMET/XXX (XXX = Pseudo City Code)

Emulated (Agent Use)

HMET

Field Description

COUPON Only documents set as either Y or O in the BSP Options Table will be displayed in this column.

GTID Set the required printer GTID, must be an itinerary or dump printer.

REQUIRED BY: BSP Y indicates that the document is mandatory and only the GTID and PRINT NOW column can be set.

O indicates that the document is optional and the agent can make a selection in the Agency column.

AGENCY Documents marked O in the BSP column can be set to Y (Yes) or N (No).

PRINT NOW Y Prints the document at the time of the E-Ticket issue.

N Batches the document to be printed at a later time.

TYPE & STATUS

These fields are updated automatically depending on the Form Type and Status of the printer entered in the GTID field.



Table Update The Support Document Print Table must be updated correctly before issuing an electronic ticket and may only be updated by authorised consultants, ie. those with the ETOD field of their STD set to “Yes”.

To update the table Tab to the required field, enter the appropriate data then press e. Successful update of the SDPT is confirmed with the following response:

"SUPPORT DOCUMENT PRINT TABLE UPDATED"

If Galileo International should update the BSP Options Table to activate another/different Support Document, agents will have to update their Support Document Print Table otherwise the following error message will be displayed when trying to issue an electronic ticket;

"BSP OPTIONS CHANGED - UPDATE SDPT"

Print Now Override There is a modifier to override the “Print Now” field of the SDPT if it has been set to Batch print the Passenger Itinerary/Receipt at a later time (ie. the Print Now field is set to “N”).

TMU1GRC This will cause the Passenger Itinerary/Receipt to be sent to the specified GTID in the Support Document Print Table at the same time as the electronic ticket request.

TMU1GRC@ Remove override modifier

The override modifier can only be used at the time of the electronic ticket request, it will need to be removed to issue an Itinerary or GMIR by themselves. If the GRC modifier is present the following error is returned;

"INVALID MODIFIER ENTRY"

Agency Support Electronic Ticketing


Agency Support If problems should occur with Electronic Ticketing an Error Message will normally be displayed on the screen at the time of ticket issue. These error messages are contained in the next section of this guide.

Many problems can be investigated/solved by referring the Galileo print buffers using the HQC entry.

Non Ticket Printer Agents On occasions when the E-Ticketing process fails an option will be given to either print a paper ticket or cancel the transaction. It is most important that sites without a Ticket Printer do not ever accept the option to “Issue Paper Ticket to Host”.

Doing so will neither print a ticket or itinerary, these will both remain in the Demand Pending print buffer until they are purged from the system within 48 hours.

A more serious consequence of this error occurs in Exchange Ticketing where the original E-Ticket will be marked as “Availed” but no exchange document will be issued. This could cause costly inconvenience to both the agent and passenger.

HQC Display Electronic ticket issues will be included as TKT-OPTAT data on the on the HQC screen, in addition the HQC screen will also contain extra information at the bottom of the screen for Support Document printing.

Electronic Ticketing Agency Support


Ticket Images

Sent Buffer The Ticket image can be displayed from Demand Sent using current formats, the display will indicate if an electronic ticket was issued;

• No output GTID will be present for electronic tickets

• Re-transmitting an electronic ticket image will not generate a new electronic ticket even though the standard responses are returned if attempted. E-Tickets which have defaulted to paper can be re-transmitted using HQNN.

Agency Support Electronic Ticketing


Support Document Images

Print Later Buffer Support Documents can be set for Batch Printing through the Support Document Print Table by placing “N” in the “Print Now” column.

Once set for Batch Printing these documents will show on the HQC screen in the PRINT LATER buffer and can be printed using;

HQSD/ALL Print ALL Support Documents (all audit coupons first followed by agent coupons etc.)

HQSD/AUD Print all Audit Coupons.

HQSD/REC Print all Passenger Receipts

HQSD/UCF Print all Credit Card Charge Forms

HQSD/EXC Print all Exchange Authorities.

HQSD/RFD print all Refund Authorities.

Response: "SUPPORT DOCUMENT PRINT INITIATED"

The above entries will be followed by an UMSG advising if the print was successful or unsuccessful.

"SUPPORT DOCUMENT PRINT COMPLETED"

"UNABLE TO COMPLETE DOCUMENT PRINT - PRINTER STATUS DOWN"

If the GTID is "Down" the Support Document will remain on the PRINT LATER Buffer and will not move to the Demand Pending Buffer.

Electronic Ticketing Agency Support


Demand Pending Support Document images on the Demand Pending Buffer cannot be displayed and deleted, the following error will be returned if the display entry is used;

"PENDING SUPPORT DOCUMENTS NOT DISPLAYABLE"

Demand Sent Support Documents can be re-transmitted from the Demand Sent image;

• The OUTPUT GTID field will show “TABLE” to indicate that the GTID as shown on the Support Document Print Table will be used.

• Current re-transmission functionality applies.

Support Documents can also be re-printed using the following entry;

TSD[airline numeric code][ticket number][check digit]

"SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS ISSUED"

The check digit must be included. This can be calculated using the XX entry, omitting the 3 digit airline code for the calculation, eg XX1679879892/7 - the remainder equals the check digit.

Using the incorrect ticket number or check digit will return the following error;

"INVALID TICKET NUMBER OR CHECK DIGIT"

The Support Documents will print according to how the Support Document Print Table is set at the time of the reprint command. If the Support Document Print Table is set for Batch printing the HQSD/REC will have to be used otherwise the Support Documents will remain on the PRINT LATER buffer.
