Migrating Passenger Today

• What do we have today?
• IDEC is used to exchange Coupons and some
  Rejection billing data among the Passenger
  airlines.
• This process of data exchange is followed by a
  large number of carriers (mandatory for all ICH
  members and those with IET for IDEC Passenger)
• A number of ACH member carriers having manual
  processes do not support IDEC
• Around 850,000 Invoices are billed per year
  through ICH

Migrating Passenger SIS

• What do we have in SIS?

  quality
• Sampling Billing data Airlines can exchange
  sampling billing data right from Provisional
  billing till Sample Form XF

Migrating Passenger Approach

• Partly structured approach
• Prime Billing Sampling Provisional Invoice (Form
  A and B)
• Rejection Memos, Billing and Credit Memos
  (together)
• Sampling all other formats

Possible approaches 1. Always first, rest
flexible 1 2 3 together 1 3 and later 2 1

  concatenate them

Old IDEC
IS-IDEC

• Timing difference in Old IDEC and IS IDEC
• Old IDEC will continue to be provided (output
  from SIS) on a Monthly basis for Non Migrated
  carriers
• IS IDEC will be provided (output from SIS) on a
  Weekly basis to the Migrated carriers.

Impact on Non-Migrated Carriers
19
Impact on Non-Migrated Carriers

• Set up basic SIS Member Profile in IS-WEB
• Need to control old IDEC process and IS-WEB
• Migrated carriers can remove the paper invoice
• Non-migrated carrier has to access IS-WEB,
  manually search their invoices (as per ICH Form
  1) and supporting documents and print them out on
  their printer and paper
• Migrated carriers Rejection Memos can only be
  rejected through SIS (IS-WEB) same for
  Correspondence
• Non-Migrated carriers will receive migrated
  carriers Idec records in the old format
