Commission

The table below shows the default processing for applying commission on combinations of fares.

Airline Commission Table

Airline Commission Table allows airlines to store information regarding commission to be applied by default. Therefore, when there is no commission data in the PNR/BF, EZ/TKP/TMU input entry, in the document instructions or in the pricing shell, the system applies the commission data stored in the airline commission table.

To display the table use the following entries.

Galileo

Worldspan

Display commission for a specific airline (YY- airline code). The commission display entry defaults to country of the location making the entry.

Entry: 4G/AM-COM-YY

Display commission for specific country (XX - country code) and airline (YY - airline code).

Entry: 4G/AM-COM*XX-YY

Information on applicable commission for airline (agency) private fare.

The commission that the airline filed can be checked in the Filed Fare or in a fare display. It is the responsibility of the agency to verify eligible commission amount and policies for ticketing with the airline.

1.From the fare display

To verify which commission applies for the fare on line 1 from the fare display, type: FD*1/NET

2. From the Filed Fare:

If the fare was already stored in the Booking File, display it first (*FF1).

Type *NTD1/D then press Enter to display detailed information.

Commission amount appears in the "COMMISSION" section.

 

On the Galileo system, CAT 35 Commission is part of the CAT 35 Net Ticketing Functionality.

If a PCC not activated to CAT 35 Net Ticketing Functionality (AAT field NGGF-N), the commission filed in CAT 35 is not applied

If commission is filed via Airline Private Fares Category 35 and/or APF Private Fares, then the following logic is applied:

  • · If the same commission value exists for all fares then it cannot be changed or overridden.

  • · If commission information does not exist then it can be added / modified.

  • · If different commission values exist for a multi fare quote ie., conflicts then it can be added or modified but you will get a warning that you need to enter a commission manually. If not the default table will apply.

  • · If commission is absent then the user can modify or add, or the system will go to default values that are applicable by airline/fare/market.

Activation of the NGGF field is not actually the turning on/off from CAT35 fares in a market. It is a setting in a customer PCC relating to the display of specific data.

If a CAT35 fare is filed in a PCC that has Private Fares capability, then the fare would display/price with or without NGGF activated.

The commission filed in a CAT35 would however not be applied to tickets issued in the PCC if NGGF is not activated. The default commission from the country table would be applied.

 

I receive the error *** MANUAL INPUT NEEDED BEFORE TICKETING ***

This error occurs when there is a commission conflict within CAT35. For example, two fares are combined and the first one has 0% and the second one has no commission or any value other than 0%

When ticketed together this is considered a commission conflict and requires the commission be entered manually.

The commission would need to be entered manually at the time of ticketing or System processing then applies the commission from the Default Commission Table.
