[ARC] How to enter an FO line for reissues

Procedure

You need to enter an Original/Issued in exchange for (FO) line when you reissue paper documents, such as MCOs, EMDs, and e-tickets.
For electronic documents, you need to check the status of the coupons. Only coupon status O (open for use) and A (airport control) allow the reissue of the e-ticket or EMD.

  • To display an e-ticket, use the TWD entry. Enter, for example:
    TWD/TKT123-1234567890
     

  • To display an EMD, use the EWD entry. Enter, for example:
    EWD/EMD321-9087654321

    Example: TWD with open coupons status (O) that allow a reissue

In ARC markets, the FO line is the key element in the reissue process. With an additional collection, a residual value, penalty or any other specific option, you can determine how the reissue will be processed, and which documents will be issued.

If you reissue a ticket in exchange for the previous ticket, you can create the FO line automatically from the existing FA/FHE line.

  • To create the FO line automatically from an FA/FHE line for a reissue with no additional collection (even exchange) and no penalty fee, enter, for example:
    FO*L9

For any reissue in exchange for the previous ticket, use the FO*Lx entry to create the basic FO entry and add any additional information at the end of the automated FO line.

Additional information can include:

Entry Description
*B4500.00/X421.30 Old base fare and tax total (additional collection)
/C200.00 Penalty fee
*RV

Residual value issued as an MCO

*RV/NONET

Residual value issued as an MCO (no Netting)


The following entries will create manual FO lines for different reissue scenarios:

  • FO line with no additional collection:
    FO172-9876543210E1HOU21JUL24/123456789

    Entry Description
    FO172-9876543210E1HOU21JUL24

    FO = FO line transaction code
    172-9876543210 = Document number
    E1 = E-ticket coupon code, followed by the coupon number
    HOU = City where the e-ticket was issued
    21JUL24 = Date when the e-ticket was issued (DDMMMYY)

    /123456789

    Slash, office ID IATA number where the e-ticket was issued

    FO172-9876543210E1HOU21JUL24/123456789*B452.00/X211.00

    The old base fare and tax total are compared to the new ticket. Any residual value will be refunded on the passenger's credit card if the previous ticket was paid by credit card or refunded to the travel agency if paid in cash.

    *B452.00

    Original base fare code (*B) followed by the amount

    FO172-9876543210E1HOU21JUL24/123456789*B4990.00/X558.77/C100.00/*RV/NONET
