Ticket Booking and Purchase Date Analysis

The Ticket Booking and Purchase Date Analysis report calculates:

• The number of days between booking dates and travel (departure) dates (referred to as advanced days booked)
• The number of days between ticketing dates and travel (departure) dates (referred to as advanced days purchased)

Passenger Name Record (PNR) creation dates are used for booking dates, and invoice dates are used for ticketing dates.

The report includes fare and lost savings information because this is affected by the number of days in advance of travel the ticket is booked and ticketed. The report assumes that if the full fare is zero, the actual full fare is the same total sale (fare paid). It also assumes that if the low fare is zero, the actual low fare is the same as the total sale. Fare savings equals the actual full fare less the total sale, and lost savings equals total sales less the actual full fare.

The report includes sales only (no exchanges, refunds, credit/debit memos, or voids). The report subtotals and page breaks by account ID or Report To ID. The detail is sorted by branch and invoice number.
