Note:
Adding the FEX as a Ticket Modifier (TMU) ensures that the form of payment is saved in the Filed Fare in case the MIR needs to be re-generated later (TKPDAD). If the FEX is added as a Ticketing entry (TKP) it is not saved in the Filed Fare and the FOP details will be missing from the MIR if it is re-generated (TKPDAD).
