Netting

Supported Capabilities

1. Netting to compensate any new collection of fare and/or taxes with residual amount

Description

For each change in fare and/or taxes values in a modification of an Order, the airline should inform the seller if fare and/or taxes are netted or not (i.e., residual amount from old OrderItem used to compensate amount of the new OfferItem/OrderItem).

Preconditions

• An Order exists in the Airline’s Order Management System
• Seller communicates intent to service partially or fully the order
• Airline is applying netting process during servicing

Process

• Airline processes the reshop offers and identifies when netting of fare and/or taxes applies

Success

• OrderReshopRS explicitly describes at OfferItem level that fare and/or taxes are netted.
  • Net Indicator at offer item level set to true (NetInd in OfferItem)
  • The “DueByAirline” or “DueToAirline” amount is calculated and set correctly
• OrderViewRS explicitly describes at OrderItem level that fare and/or taxes are netted.
  • Net Indicator at order item level set to true (NetInd in OrderItem)
  • The “DueByAirline” or “DueToAirline” amount is calculated and set correctly

2. Applying netting to compensate collection of penalty with fare residual amount only

Description

If a change fee applies for modification of an Order, the airline should inform the seller if a residual fare amount can compensate the penalty, either fully or partially (i.e., residual amount of fare from old OrderItem was used to compensate a penalty amount before application to the new OfferItem/OrderItem).

Preconditions

• An Order exists in the Airline’s Order Management System
• A Change Fee exists for the OrderItem being reshopped
• Seller communicates intent to service partially or fully the order
• Airline is applying netting process during servicing

Process

• Airline processes the reshop offers and identifies when netting of fare against penalty applies

Success

• OrderReshopRS explicitly describes at penalty level that it has been netted.
  • Net Indicator at penalty level set to true (NetInd in Penalty)
  • The “DueByAirline” or “DueToAirline” amount is calculated and set correctly
• OrderViewRS explicitly describes at penalty level that it has been netted.
  • Net Indicator at order item level set to true (NetInd in OrderItem)
  • The “DueByAirline” or “DueToAirline” amount is calculated and set correctly

Preconditions

• An Order exists in the Airline’s Order Management System
• A Change Fee exists for the OrderItem being reshopped
• Seller communicates intent to service partially or fully the order
• Airline is applying netting process during servicing

Process

• Airline processes the reshop offers and identifies when netting of fare and/or taxes and/or penalty applies

Success

• OrderReshopRS explicitly describes at penalty level that it has been netted and at OfferItem level that fare and/or taxes are netted.
  • Net Indicator at penalty level set to true (NetInd in Penalty)
  • Net Indicator at offer item level set to true (NetInd in OfferItem)
  • The “DueByAirline” or “DueToAirline” amount is calculated and set correctly
• OrderViewRS explicitly describes at penalty level that it has been netted and at OrderItem level that fare and/or taxes are netted.
  • Net Indicator at penalty level set to true (NetInd in Penalty)
  • Net Indicator at order item level set to true (NetInd in OrderItem)
  • The “DueByAirline” or “DueToAirline” amount is calculated and set correctly

Unsupported Capabilities

• The netting process described above does not apply:
