1.6.2 PNR History Includes EMD
While the EMD has its own internal history, when the ticketing entry is made, PNR history is updated as
well.
Below is a sample PNR history demonstrating the purchase of internet and seat assignment ancillaries.
Remember, all history is read from the bottom up (most recent at the top of the list).
This topic aligns historical Electronic Miscellaneous Documents (EMDs) with VCRs and allows you to
retrieve and reactivate historical EMDs from a historical database into an active database. This ability is
controlled through a keyword (ITCCTL) located in your Employee Profile Record (EPR). If the keyword
is present in your EPR, you will be able to reactivate the Historical EMD by selecting the Reactivate
button located in the Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) - Historical screen.
The following enhancements are available for all community carriers using Interact v10.1 and later, who
are upgraded to the latest GetTicketingDocument web service version.
l (also called Direct Connect Platform - DCP) users can view the Historical EMD, but will not be able
to reactivate until your associated airline approves and adds the necessary keyword to the user's EPRs.
l The Interact default is to a graphical view of the Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) screen
via GetTicktingDocument (instead of a green screen view) that accommodates the Modify and
History buttons for an active EMD.
1 EMD Display
Training Guide 19 Confidential and Proprietary Sabre Airline Solutions
l Users of these enhancements will no longer see a Display History checkbox on the Display
Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) screen. Instead, there is a checkbox option called
Historical EMD located in the Search Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) screen.
l The Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) - Historical screen will offer a Reactivate button
if the keyword ITCCTL is present in your EPR.
l You are able to view reactivated EMDs in the Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) screen
that offers a Modify and History button for the reactivated historical EMD.
l Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) Historical List.
l Vouchers are not in scope for graphical EMD.
l Supervisor tab is not an option for Reactivate Historical EMD.
Depending on your airline's settings, you will be able to retrieve Historical EMDs that are no longer
available to view in an active database. Additionally, Depending on your EPR settings, you may have the
potential to reactivate the historical EMD and move it into an active database.
1. Select the Ticketing tab (<F4> in Interact Res, <F8> in Interact Airport)
2. Select the EMD <Shift + F9> label, then the Display <Shift + F1> label.
Interact responds with the Display Electronic Misc Document (EMD) window.

4. Click OK to display.
The historical EMD is in the Historical database and is displayed in the graphical view Electronic
Miscellaneous Document (EMD) - Historical screen. (The title is in red to differentiate that this is

If the EMD cannot be found in the active database, Interact displays an error window.
Note This window is only returned through the Display path and not the Search path. (Search has a
different option as shown in a later section.)

Miscellaneous Document (EMD) screen in the graphical view. You can now proceed to modify the
reactivated historical EMD.
The modified process is no different from the standard Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD)
screen, therefore, the follow options are still applicable after reactivation occurs.
Options Description
History Allows you to view the history of the reactivated historical EMD
Association is the relationship between the EMD-A Value Coupon with an Electronic Ticket Flight
Coupon (also called a Virtual Coupon Record - VCR). An indicator within the EMD-A Value Coupon
details will reflect that the coupon is either associated or disassociated from the VCR Flight coupon.
When the EMD-A value coupon is associated, updates to the VCR should also be reflected in the EMD
coupon (e.g., Flight Coupon Used after PDC, the EMD Value Coupon will reflect USED status as well).
Note EMD-S are never associated to a flight coupon.
Rules for Association
You must display the VCR before you can use the association or disassociation entries. These entries
may be used if the VCR and EMD databases are not in sync.
l The carrier code on the EMD coupon must match the carrier code on the VCR coupon.
l Coupon status must be: OK, CKIN (Check-in), LFTD (Lifted), or CTRL (Control).
l Board /Off Points (including multi-airport cities) must be the same.
l The name in the EMD must match the name in the VCR.
l When an EMD is manually associated to a VCR /PNR, the new PNR record locator is automatically
updated on both the VCR and EMD.
l One EMD coupon must be associated to one VCR coupon, so the number of EMD coupons in the
entry must equal the number of VCR coupons.
The following steps will demonstrate Manual Reassociation. Before the association can be completed the
VCR must be displayed in your work area.
Interact displays the host PNR in the background and the Modify EMD window.
8. Click OK.
Interact displays the host view EMD. Ticketing has added the OK EMD ASSOCIATED banner at the
bottom of the display.
If any of the requested EMD coupon(s) are already associated to VCR coupon(s), Interact displays an
error.
If the number of EMD coupons do not equal the number of VCR coupons in the entry, Interact displays
an error.
If an attempt is made to disassociate an EMD-S from a VCR, Interact displays an error message.
In this scenario the passenger has changed the date of their return flight. Because the original flight was
changed, the Air Extra (AE) item was dropped from the ancillary cart and the EMD disassociated from
the electronic ticket.
The flight has been rebooked and the ticket exchanged. The Ancillary has been rebooked and is shown
with an HD status. (The HD status reflects reserved but not purchased.)
The following steps will allow you to reassociate the ancillary to the EMD to reflect payment (HI status),
while reassociating the EMD to the electronic ticket.
8. Click OK.
The EMD is now associated to the VCR.
9. Click OK.
The AE item is now associated to the EMD.
The AE item is now updated with a check mark and the new status of HI (fulfilled).
For airlines with Ancillaries v2.0, Ticketing validates during the association process that the EMD
coupon is not already associated to another AE.
This validation disallows any attempt to associate an EMD coupon to an AE or group of AEs if the
EMD is already associated to another AE, thus preventing potential revenue loss.
To demonstrate the error response, we'll begin with the Ancillary Cart displayed.
6. Click OK to proceed.
If this EMD is to be associated to the new AE item, display the PNR locator and disassociate the
EMD.
As stated earlier, association is the relationship between the EMD-A Value Coupon with an Electronic
Ticket Flight Coupon (also called a Virtual Coupon Record - VCR). An indicator within the EMD-A
Value Coupon details will reflect that the coupon is either associated or disassociated from the VCR
Flight coupon.
An EMD is automatically disassociated from a VCR in the following situations:
l Exchange of VCR or EMD
l Void of VCR or EMD
l Refund of VCR or EMD
l System Update EDIFACT (Electronic Data Interchange For Administrations, Commeerce, and
Transport) message
Note You would need to perform a manual disassociation of the EMD from the VCR if there was a
system error while processing an exchange or refund, and the documents were not
automatically disassociated.
Rules for Manual Disassociation
l Coupon status must be: OK, CKIN (Check-In), LFTD (Lifted), or CTRL (Control).
l The name in the EMD must match the name in the VCR.
l The ICW (In Connection With) data in EMD must match previously-displayed Ticket number.
l The EMD document number in the VCR must match the EMD document number in the entry.
l The EMD Coupon Numbers stored in the VCR must match with the EMD coupon numbers in the
entry.
l If the VCR is issued to paper, the EMD will be disassociated, and use of that EMD will require
issuance of a new VCR and manual re-association of that EMD to the VCR.
l The EMD will be disassociated from the VCR (and vice-versa) when one of the associated documents
goes into a final status such as EXCH (Exchange /Reissue), VOID, RFND (Refund); or when the
PNR is purged from the system. The exception to this rule is when the VCR goes to a USED
/FLOWN status - If the EMD is associated to the VCR at this time, the documents remain associated.
8. Click OK to continue.
When redisplayed, the EMD indicates a disassociation.
If any of the requested EMD coupon(s) are already disassociated from VCR coupon(s), Interact displays
an error.
The VCR displayed must match the ICW (In Connection With) data in the EMD of the coupon(s) being
disassociated. If there is a discrepancy, Interact displays an error.
Note SabreSonic® CSS Check-in, at time of Post Departure Control (PDC), will inform the Ticketing
process of which EMD-A coupons were not used. Ticketing will disassociate those coupons and
will change the EMD /coupon status to OK.
Note The following enhancement requires activation and may require specific configurations, contact
Sabre® Global Customer Care for further details.
When there are single or multiple disassociated EMD-As in a PNR, Interact will display the banner
"Disassociated EMD(s) Present".
This will ensure that association occurs ahead of time, so that the EMD-As will be marked as USED
along with the associated E-tickets. Airline offline reporting functions will correctly show the EMD-As
as USED, so that payment can be collected. It also reduces the risk of EMD-As being fraudulently
reused.
Note The following enhancement requires activation and may require specific configurations, contact
Global Customer Care for further details.
Interact offers the option for a radio button "Disassociated EMD(s) - Reservation List" on the Retrieve
Existing Reservations page.
Interact displays the PNR and the Disassociated EMD(s) banner will be present.
3. Scroll down to find the EMDs that require association.
You are able to print the list of Disassociated EMD(s) for a specific flight. Print functionality will work
based on the default printer set up in the system. (This is due to Interact not having a host transaction or
web service to print the list.)
Notes
1. From the Disassociated EMD(s) - Reservation LIst, select the Passenger's Name.
2. Select the Type of Print: Portrait or Landscape.
3. Click Print.
The result will be the printed list. In this example Portrait was selected.
You can refund an EMD-A by utilizing SabreSonic® CSS Exchange & Refund (also called Automated
Exchange and Refund - AER). The following rules are applicable for EMD-A refunds:
l Refundability of an EMD is defined by the AE at time of pricing.
l Only one EMD can be refunded at a time.
l After an EMD is refunded, all associated VCRs are automatically disassociated.
l Refund is only to the original Form Of Payment (FOP), or to Accounting.
l SabreSonic® CSS Travel Bank is not included as a form of payment in this phase.
l When there are multiple FOPs, the refund FOP select must be to Accounting (back office refund).
l Partial refunds are only allowed for services filed by Sector.
l If an attempt is made to partially refund an EMD that is part of a Portion, Interact will return an error
response.
l If the VCR disassociation fails, Ticketing updates the EMD coupon status to RFND and the manual
EMD disassociation entry will be required.
The passenger will no longer have an oversized bag on his outbound flight from Los Angeles to Sydney.
He would like a refund.

5.1 Name Change Process

5.1.1 Name Changes – Associated EMD
Name change functionality is keyword driven. The Employee Profile Record (EPR) keyword ALTNAM
is required in order to change the name. Name changes on an EMD are processed in the same manner as
changes to a VCR.
After the name has been changed in the PNR and the PNR ended, if you have the ALTNAM keyword in
your EPR, any VCR and associated EMD(s) will be automatically updated with the new name.
4. Enter the Name Number of the passenger whose name you are changing.
5. Click OK.
Interact displays the Change Passenger / Group Name Screen
When displaying the Ancillary Cart, the new name and all ancillaries now show HI (fulfilled) status.
If a name change occurs on a disassociated EMD, there are three options available:
l The unused EMD can be exchanged and applied toward the value of a new ticket (VCR).
l The EMD can be refunded to the original Form Of Payment (FOP), based on the refundability
indicator that was set at the time of original EMD issuance.
l The EMD can be re-associated to the new PNR, AE, and VCR; however, the name; routing and
service type in which the EMD was originally issued for must match the new PNR, AE, and VCR.
The offline file for the EMD Override report will contain a separate section for EMDs that have
undergone a name change, entitled EMD – NAME.
Note You would only name change an EMD if the original VCR name change occurred when the
EMD was disassociated from the VCR.
The following are the steps to utilize the override entries that allow you to manually change a name on
the EMD record. You can use these steps when there is a name change in the PNR, causing the VCR and
EMD to be out of synch, or if the database is down or not responding.
l The EPR Keyword ALTNAM is required in your EPR in order to change the name.
l Duty code 8 or (‡) is required.
l The EMD must be disassociated from the VCR.
l You must display the EMD prior to changing the name.
l Make the EMD manual name change entry.
l You then must manually associate the EMD back to the VCR.
Note To change a name within the EMD, you must have the PNR in your work area and must display

Interact responds with the Display Electronic Misc Document (EMD) window.
When a ticket has been issued with an associated Ancillary, there are a couple of different ways to
handle itinerary changes when ancillaries exist.
This scenario will demonstrate the first process of changing an itinerary when an ancillary exists, by
using the MOVE BUTTON option within the Ancillary Cart.
Note Check your airline's rules regarding changes to ancillaries. This process may not work if
there is a value change or city pair change associated to the ancillary. Should this occur,
you will be required to use the exchange process to exchange the ancillary. (See the EMD
to EMD Exchange Training Guide.)
After displaying the PNR, note the Ancillaries Exists are shown in the Remarks /Facts area of the
Reservation. This tells you that ancillaries exist for this itinerary.
To make a change to the itinerary which does not affect this city pair:
The passenger wants to leave for JFK one day earlier on August 31st.
2. Add the city pair DFW to JFK.
3. Enter the new Departure Date.
4. Click OK.
Interact displays the New Reservation: Air Availability screen.
7. Click OK.
Interact redisplays the PNR.
Note The ancillary no longer matches the new itinerary segment selected.
Note It is necessary to know which segment number you are moving your ancillary segment to.
The date in the Ancillary now matches the new Itinerary Segment.
14. Click Cancel to exit the Ancillary Cart.
Interact automatically redisplays the PNR.
Interact displays a pop up warning, advising that an ancillary exists on the segment you are canceling.
(Because you already moved the ancillary, the message no longer applies.)
The itinerary has been updated, the ancillary has been moved, and the last step would be to update the
VCR using Automated Exchange & Refund (AER).
18. From within the Ticketing / Pricing field in the PNR, select the VCR.
19. Click Exchange, then Voluntary from the drop down list.
Interact displays the Ticket Reissue /Refund Options window.
Because you selected Fast Path, the next screen is the Comparison Summary (Screen 30). While there
is no fare difference, an add collect of 75.00 will be charged for the change fee.
22. Click OK.
Interact displays the Ticketing Instructions (screen 40).
Interact displays a window, stating that the exchange has been retained.
The Association Type reflects D for Disassociated. In order to reassociate, select the action to modify.
35. Click Modify.
Interact displays the Modify EMD window.
Interact displays the Associate EMD to VCR window. (The EMD number and Ticket number may
pre-populate.)
38. Insure the Ticket number matches the Ticketing Details to the right.
39. Add the EMD Coupon Number(s)
40. Add the VCR Coupon Number(s)
41. Click OK.
A pop up will appear stating the EMD was successfully Associated.
This scenario will look at another option that can be used to change itinerary and ancillary: the Associate
EMD option.
Note Check your airline's rules regarding changes to ancillaries. This process may not work if
there is a value change or city pair change associated to the ancillary. Should this occur,
you will be required to use the exchange process to exchange the ancillary. (See the EMD
to EMD Exchange Training Guide.)
18. From the Type drop down list select Exchange/ Comments.
19. Click OK.
Interact displays the Ticketing Instructions (Screen 40).
Note that the EMD has been disassociated from the VCR.
29. Verify that the Ticket Number reflects the new Exchanged ticket.
30. Add the Coupon Numbers for the EMD and VCR.
31. Click OK.
An Informational Banner will appear stating the EMD was successfully associated.
40. Input the appropriate duty code (as required by your airline).
41. Click OK.
The AE, EMD, and coupon numbers are pre-filled for you. To complete the association:
42. Click OK.
An Informational Banner will appear stating the EMD was successfully associated.
The Remarks/ Facts field has now been updated to reflect that Ancillaries now exist.
The transaction is now complete.
45. To End Transaction <CTRL + E>.
An EMD cannot be revalidated because it does not contain a flight number or date, all EMDs are open.
The EMD will remain associated to the VCR if the VCR has been revalidated.
Reference: EMD for ticket (AER)
See the EMD to EMD Exchange Training Guide and other online lessons.
The following criteria will assist you in determining whether an EMD can be exchanged:
l The EMD status must be “OK”
l An EMD can be associated or disassociated to its original VCR and still be available for exchange
l If the EMD being exchanged was associated to a VCR, it will become disassociated upon exchange
and the EMD status will be set to “EXCH”
l If the exchange transaction is voided, the EMD being exchanged will remain disassociated from the
original VCR. If the EMD needs to be re-associated to the original VCR, it must be done manually.
This scenario will demonstrate the process to exchange an unused EMD for a VCR when an add collect
applies.
Note This scenario re-enacts the most common occurrence: an exchange with an add collect.
Follow normal exchange procedures for Even Exchanges and /or Refund scenarios.

Coupon Status indicators within an EMD-A is similar to those of a VCR. They are dovoded into two
distinct groupings: Interim and Final.
l Interim status codes are those that are in transition, they would include the codes for Check-In and
Lifted as shown below.
l Final status codes are those that complete the usage of the EMD-A. They would include Used,
Refunded, Exchanged, or Void.
In order to make changes to a status code within an EMD-A, you must be familiar with the requirements.
Below are the rules and requirements to make changes to EMD-A status codes.
Requirements:
l You must display the EMD prior to performing the change coupon status entry.
l Duty Code 7 or 8 (same as for VCR status changes) is required and is for host only. If not in the
correct duty code, Interact returns an error:
l If the status of the coupon is OK, you can alter it to any interim or final status.
l You can alter an EMD coupon at an Interim status only to OK or USED.
l You can alter an EMD coupon at a Final status only to OK status - except for the USED status, which
you can alter to any interim status or to OK.
l VOID to OK – Will require you to manually associate the EMD to a VCR. As a method of fraud
prevention, Sabre-hosted airlines can request activation of an item in the options table that prevents a
status change on VCR coupons showing *VOID* status. If this option is “on”, neither VCR nor EMD
coupon status of VOID can be altered.
l If you make a manual coupon status change request to an EMD coupon at RFND, EXCH, or VOID
status, then Sabre will automatically disassociate an associated EMD from the VCR.

9.3.1 Overview
Electronic Miscellaneous Documents (EMD) provides the ability to generate an Audit coupon, Agent
coupon, and Passenger Receipt document, which contain the information regarding the services
purchased. Value Coupons for EMDs are electronic only and cannot be printed to paper (per the IATA
resolution).
Note Universal Charge Coupons (UCCs) are not provided.
Ticketing automatically prints the Audit coupon and Passenger receipt on ATB stock at the time of EMD
fulfillment, unless you selected the No Print option.

3. Select the EMD <Shift + F9> label, then the Print Rcpt <Shift + F3> label.
Sabre purges EMDs from the database according to IATA guidelines. There is no warning that an EMD
will be purged from the database but after an EMD is purged, your airline will not be able to display or
take action (exchange, refund, etc) on a Purged EMD. The Purged Electronic Miscellaneous Document
(EMD) File will be available for you airline to use as a means to track purged EMDs.
The Purged Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) File is a daily capture of ancillary sales
information for all EMDs that have been purged from the database. The following rules apply to either
purge or mark an EMD for purge:
l Seven days after all coupons are set to FINAL status. The following coupon status codes are
considered used: USED, RFND, VOID, EXCH.
l EMD will be marked for purge 396 days after the original date of issue if ALL coupons remain in any
non-final coupon status.
l EMD will be marked for purge 396 days after the first coupon date of usage if at least one coupon
remains in any non-final coupon status.

PNR History - Ancillaries 10
PNR History contains the action taken on the PNR, the ID of the person who authorized the action, and
the signature line identifying the location, agent sine, date, and time.
You are not be able to see the modification in History until you have performed an End Transaction. The
system will update the record with the history of changes or modifications, then you can retrieve and
display the PNR and view the History.
If you Ignore the transaction, Sabre returns the PNR to its previous state and no history would be
recorded for that transaction.
Let's look at a PNR.
Ancillary history is stored with all other historical items in PNR History.
Interact responds with the PNR History Options. From the drop down menu, you can see the different
categories of history that are stored within a PNR. In order to view Ancillary History by itself:
1. Click to highlight Ancillaries.
2. Select OK to view.
Interact displays the History window.
When an Air Extra (AE) field is added, canceled, or updated, Sabre saves all information associated with
the AE to PNR History.
When displaying history, the first item you will see is the action code. There are three action codes for
the AE field. They include:
l AAX - Added EMD item
l UAX - Updated EMD item
The Main Information of AE History includes the majority of the information needed. Some of the
information included would be:
l Commercial Name
l Replay/Action Code
l Flight Information
l EMD
l ETKT
l Passenger Name.
Below is an example of a AE entry in PNR history.
The received from information indicates who requested the AE item addition, cancellation, or
modification. Not all AE item lines will reflect a received from, depending on how many AE items have
been selected during one transaction.
A received from will be shown only once during a transaction vs. an AE item.
The received from will be shown as an R character followed by a hyphen. What follows is the person
authorizing the AE.
Examplea:
R- P (The R- represents Received from, whereas the P represents Passenger)
R- PSGR (The PSGR represents Passenger)
Like the received from, the Signature Line may not be repeated for each AE Item, but instead for each
transaction.
The Signature line will include the following:
Example:
Now that we understand what makes up the AE EMD history, we can take a closer look at the three AE
history indicators that include:
l AAX = AE items added
l UAX = AE items changed
l XAX = AE items canceled
Below is an example of an AE item added to the ancillary cart and its display in PNR History. The table
below explains the individual components of the example.

Code Description
With this validation, Sabre disallows any attempt to associate an EMD coupon to an AE (or group of
AEs) if the EMD is already associated to another AE(s), preventing potential revenue loss.
If the initial validation passes because the EMD coupon is not already associated to an AE, Ticketing
validates the data in the EMD association request against the data in the corresponding Air Extra Item
(AE) in the PNR. This assures the EMD is valid for use as payment for the new AE by checking to sure
all data matches before completing the EMD to AE association. If one or more values differ between
what is in the existing EMD vs. what is stored in the new AE, EMD association will fail.
