Commission Maintain Providers

Paymode-X has its own set of identifying numbers for its participating providers (for example, 001700 for Avis). The Commission Maintain Providers function enables you to match Paymode-X providers with GlobalWare providers. The table is populated with standard industry codes (for example, ZI for Avis). For non-standard codes, such as tour and cruise, NOPROV is stored.

You should change as many of the NOPROV fields to an appropriate GlobalWare provider ID as possible. If you cannot change all NO PROVs, you receive a warning when you exit the Maintain Providers screen. Changing NOPROV to a specific GlobalWare provider is required only if the provider has items in your Paymode-X files.

Note: ZZ is an acceptable GlobalWare provider for Virtuoso; Virtuoso acts as a wholesaler/consolidator of airline tickets.

Paymode-X might add a vendor to their list. When you try to import, you receive a message that states: "File contains Paymode-X providers not in GlobalWare. Use Find Missing Providers report". Run the report to see which Paymode-X providers are new. New providers are those that appear on the report with nothing in the GW Provider column. Then use the ADD button on the Maintain Providers screen to enter the new Paymode-X vendor (Provider Code, Provider Name, and GlobalWare Provider ID) in the Search Results grid. After you enter the new Paymode-X information, you can import the file.
