Process and Helpful Hint

PNR Field Type

  • The PNR Field Type defines where in the flow each line will write to the PNR. 

  • In general practice, the output of the script should coincide with its name 

    • Example: if the agency is overriding the ticketing line, then the script(s) that generate the custom ticketing line should generally be associated with PNR field type Ticketing, not Name or Account ID

      • The reason for this is to maintain the appropriate flow of building a PNR. 

      • There are times where the ticketing line may need to be entered twice, or perhaps later in the creation/modification of a PNR. If the custom PNR field has a field type set to Ticketing, the line will write appropriately, but if it's set to Name, then it may not.

  • Common PNR Field Types used

    • Accounting ID = Standard script line, typically used unless the script involves one of the following line types

    • Remark = Remark Lines

      • Amtrak Lines

      • SWABIZ Lines

    • Post ER = Script triggers after initial ER

    • Pre Trip Approval = Pre-Trip Approval scripts

    • Profile = Company Profile script or those associated with the profile

    • Received = Received from field 

    • Ticketing = Ticketing Lines

    • UDID = UDID Reporting Fields

PNR Mask

  • PNR Mask is located at the bottom of the PNR mapping. You will want to select those field types which you have customized in your scripts.

    • To select more than one line item, hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard and select each line item.

    • In this example I have selected: Address, Agency Phone, Delivery, Email, FOP, Other Phone, Received, Ticketing

Updating PNR Lines

Process and Helpful Hint

Suppressing line from triggering

  • You can make your template site as robust as you would like, and then suspend/suppress a script from writing instead of completely removing it

  • Example: You can add reporting fields/UDIDs as a placeholder in your template, and if not needed, you can take the following steps to suspend/suppress the line from writing verses completely removing, as you may need it in the future. This saves you a great deal of time when configuring your mapping for all of your clients.

    • Find line in mapping

    • Click on Edit to the right of the script

  • Check box to the left of the GDS you are not writing to, in this case I am selecting Apollo

  • Un-Check the GDS you are currently mapping to; in this example, I am writing to Sabre therefore I have un-checked the Sabre GDS

  • Click Save
