End the booking file
There are two ways to finish working on a booking file: end transaction or queue. You may also ignore the elements added, in which case they are not saved.
When you end the transaction, you save the new or changed data you entered in the booking file. The same applies when queueing.
However, when you ignore, you do not save the information you entered in either a new booking file or an existing one.

Travelport+ confirms your entry, either by assigning a record locator to a new booking file or by redisplaying the record locator for an existing one. Each time you make changes to a booking file, you must enter the received field before you can end the modified record.
Note: Queue entries are explained in the Queues module.
