Introduction
Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC) is the Amadeus Solution to automate
the
calculation necessary to reissue a ticket. Amadeus Ticket Changer
also stores the results in correct ticketing formats. It delivers
quicker and more responsive
services to travel needs and changes of your customers.
In the past complex reissue calculations had to be carried out
manually in a time consuming process to travel agent. Now Amadeus
Ticket Changer (ATC)
is capable to calculate instantly the price difference including
Fare, Tax, and determine the appropriate penalties amount, residual
value and update the
PNR with the correct additional total amount and prevents ADMs
generated by the airlines for misleading reissue, if Carrier has
filed their ATPCo Category 31
(Voluntary Changes ‘’VC’’).
Amadeus has introduced a new feature with ATC, which allows all
Travel
Agents to perform an end-to end fully automated reissue, for
carriers that haven’t filed their ATPCo Category 31. It means no
more ATC message
‘’CAT31 NOT FILED’’ instead, the reissue panel will display a new
appended message ‘’VC CATEGORY NOT FILED BY CXR – REISSUE NOT
GURANTEED *4*’’ to
identify this process.
**Note**: When airline doesn’t provide the specific Voluntary
Changes ‘’VC’’ data
in Encode format under CAT31, Amadeus Can’t guarantee the
calculations on behalf of the Airline. In the same way that we
can’t
guarantee those calculations when they are done by agents manually
for reissue today. But the productivity gain still exist because
ATC
compute fare differential, taxes and penalties the same way we
do
with CAT31 content and this is most time consuming process.
Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC) is a complete solution enhancing the
reissue
process in FOUR simple steps:
1- PNR retrieval…………………… (Existing reservation) 2-
Rebooking………………………. (New Flight, Class, Date)
3- Pricing……………………………. (Recalculate of Fare/Taxes, Penalties) 4-
Document Preparation…….. (Document Issuance)

transactions, enter: FQN xx*VC (xx line number from FQD

User Guide
Amadeus Ticket Changer Revalidation & Reissue Rules Once you
have made the necessary modifications to the passenger itinerary
ATC recalculates and processes the best pricing solution,
accordance to the
reissue conditions, revalidation or reissue.
A reissue generates a new ticket and stores a **EMD** for
penalties, and/or a refundable balance or a non-refundable amount,
if any.
A revalidation modifies the original ticket and generates a **EMD**
for penalties amount, if any.
**Note**: In Qatar Market Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD)
is not activated at this current stage since airlines don’t support
EMD or desired Reason - For– Issuance code (RFIC). Presently All
major regional carriers have the process to include the Penalty
Charges in the form of tax with respective Code. If any airline
does not follow this Process, Penalties will not be automated in
TST. Please contact Validating carrier for Penalties code or
Airline Policies to collect charges on Ticket.
Amadeus Ticket Changer
User Guide
Amadeus Ticket Changer Important Information Before start working
with the Amadeus Ticket Changer (ATC), you should be aware the
following points:
If you change your reservation after issued e-ticket, you must
exchange or revalidate the ticket.
Revalidation If the route and the fare itself do not change (i.e.
new flight is fully compatible
with issued ticket fare rules), then, in some cases, airlines are
allowed to make
changes in the old ticket (without need to issue a new ticket),
i.e. revalidation.
Fare Amount If the new ticket price (Fare and Taxes) is more than
the cost of issued ticket, For example, by raising the level of the
Fare (upgrade) or itinerary changes
(re-routing), then we need to collect the difference from
passengers for
exchange.
When using the ATC, the difference automatically included in the
ticket itself
Penalties When using the ATC pricing recalculate transaction,
system is determined the
value of the Penalties automatically as per fare rules. If the
Penalties exists, the system will create EMD element in the PNR to
issue EMD.
Unable to get Refund the difference If the value of the Fare or
taxes in the new ticket will be lesser than issued
ticket, the difference (refundable balance or residual value) in
the general case should be returned to the passenger (if not
prohibited by the rules of airlines).
**Note**: It’s recommended to reissue the tickets from Airline
offices and claim the difference of fare due to EMD is not
supported
by airlines in Qatar market at current stage for travel
agents.
Amadeus Ticket Changer
User Guide
Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) ATC pricing recalculate
transaction automatically creates the TSM-P elements and stores the
(TSM) mask for collectable fees, Penalties and taxes. The
TSM-P
element can also be created for processing of refundable difference
between old and new ticket to passenger, if the cost of a new
ticket to get less may be airline
restrict for refund.
**Note**: In Qatar Market Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD)
is not activated at this current stage since airlines don’t support
EMD or desired Reason - For– Issuance code (RFIC). Presently All
major regional carriers have the process to include the Penalty

Amadeus Ticket Changer Pricing Entries When a passenger decides to
change his itinerary, you have FOUR pricing options with Amadeus
Ticket Changer (ATC). after you have rebooked the
itinerary in the retrieved or newly created PNR (you need to create
a new PNR if
the original PNR has been purged by the system or, an e-ticket, if
it has been issued in another GDS).
***Note***: The difference between the Informative (FXF, FXE) and
the
Confirmed (FXQ, FXO) pricing entries is that an informative pricing
entry does not store TST and no changes are made to the PNR, where
as a confirmed
pricing entry stores a TST and updates the PNR accordingly and no
TST created
