Net Fare Manager Master Distribution Groups

Net Fare Manager uses distribution groups to determine who can sell and ticket Carrier Tariff and Rule NFM selling fares. A master distribution group contains other masters and/or distribution groups. A master distribution group is not GDS-specific, so a GDS code does not display prior to the name and it is denoted within an orange chip, plus a hash (#) mark following the name.

Master distribution lists can be built using:

• Other master distribution groups

• Distribution groups

Note: The security levels are maintained at the Distribution-group level.
