3.2.9. EMD Issue

Ticketing APP allows issuing:

• An associated EMD (EMD-A). It is an EMD issued for the collection of miscellaneous charges that are to be lifted with an associated ET. Each coupon of the EMD-A is associated to a flight coupon.

• A standalone EMD (EMD-S) is an EMD issued for residual value or the collection of miscellaneous charges that are not covered by e-ticket coupon, for example group deposit and change fee. A standalone EMD is not issued in conjunction with a passenger ticket. It can reference a ticket but is not associated to a flight coupon.

Agent should prepare EMD mask according to the next rules:

• Only one EMD can be issued per AE item. • Check your reporting table to ensure EMD is authorized for your region • Be designated to the appropriate printer/stock based upon your reporting location • The AE

item must have “confirmed, pending payment” (“HD”) status. • For any AE item, which requires EMD-A payment, the ETKT must be issued prior to EMD

issuance. • For any AE item, which requires EMD-S payment, there is no need to issue ETKT prior to

EMD issuance. • The EMD will be issued in the currency stored in the AE field. All items issued during one

transaction must have the same currency. • Separate EMDs will be issued for each validating carrier. Currently interline EMD is not

supported so all AE items on the EMD must have the same fee owning carrier. • An EMD will be issued per passenger for each RFIC. When multiple coupons are required for

the same board/off points on the same flight and date, a separate EMD will be issued. • All AE items issued on the same EMD must have the same guarantee indicator (i.e.

“guarantee” or “not guarantee”).

СTN Ticketing Platform. User Guide for Subagent

38

• AE items that are valid for exchange only cannot be on the same EMD as AE items that can be refunded

• AE items that are commissionable cannot be on the same EMD as AE items that are not commissionable. Journey AE items cannot be combined on the same EMD as sector AE items. Journey AE items only have a value at the document level, not at the coupon level.

To issue EMD-A/EMD-S, you need to:

Select Consolidator

Select Command Issue EMD

Click on Get Locator and PNR number will automatically appear in the field (remember that PNR should be opened in SABRE) or type it manually in the field Locator
