Note: Deem uses XML to store and transmit data on each booking. The Custom PNR Configuration uses a version of java scripting to translate the XML booking conditions and booking data into PNR formats. Your template site should account for the majority of your PNR format requirements.If you need help with a PNR script, please open a Deem Support Case.

PNR Field Type
...
Access custom PNR fields

Select the Travel Agency link.
Select the Custom PNR link.
Select the custom PNR configuration that you want to modify.

PNR field type and masking
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.
...
For 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.
Used 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 or Account ID, then it may not.
