Attention:
This is a reminder, that the transmission of refunds from Sabre to mid office systems is not automatic.
After the refund transaction was completed, you need to send it to the mid office with the following command:

W launched the project of the storage of agent coupons and related documents in electronic format. The aim is to replace the outdated method of storing the documents of that type in paper format in favour of electronic archive being part of eKNF system.
The first to declare assistance was Travelport. We continue to asses the capability of the other GDSes.
We expect the pilot version of the new functionality will be launched in May 2013.
To be continued…
