GlobalWare Non-Air General Remarks

GlobalWare provides general remark overrides for invoicing a payment only (for a service that has already been invoiced) and for invoicing a partial payment after the initial payment has been invoiced.

Payment on Account

You can interface a payment only, for example, if you invoiced the entire cost of a cruise at booking as a receivable, and the client later makes a payment. The payment on account information is entered in a general remark override.

5PD-1*2222.22*333333

where 5 is the field identifier, PD is the general remarks override, 1 is the number of the TVL segment the payment is for, 2222.22 is the amount of the payment, and 333333 is the check number (optional).

GlobalWare creates a temporary cash receipt, which can be retrieved and posted using Get Cash Receipts in Bank Deposit. The TVL segment referenced in the remark is ignored.

See Example: Payment on Account.

Additional Item

If the client is making multiple payments for a service, for example, a deposit and final payment for a cruise, you can invoice all payments with the initial payment, or you can invoice each payment separately, when the payment is made. If you want to invoice all payments together, include multiple amount formats (see Amount under Worldspan TVL Segment Formats).

If you want to invoice payments separately, invoice the 1st payment in a TVL segment. Invoice all subsequent payments with a general remark override.

5AI-S1*tf2222.22*C[P]33.33*Maaa4444444444

where:

5	Field identifier
AI	General remarks override
1	Number of the TVL segment this payment is for
t	Type: D ("Deposit" stored in Itinerary) or F ("Final Payment")
f	Form of payment: R (receivables), C (cash), A (agency plastic), or P (plastic)
2222.22	Payment amount
33.33	Commission (C10 is $10 commission, CP10 is 10% commission)
aaa	Airline number if this payment is on an MCO
444...	Document number if this payment is on an MCO

If you enter a commission percent, the commission is calculated on the additional item only. GlobalWare does not total all items to calculate commission as it does when all items are booked together.

If *M with airline and document number are included, A is stored as the settlement type. Otherwise the settlement type of the TVL segment is stored.

GlobalWare stores the branch and invoice number from the initial payment. The initial payment is found by matching PNR locator, provider, traveler, and depart date. If no match is found, the branch and invoice number in the PNR are stored.

All other data is read from the TVL segment referred to (provider, travel dates, revenue type, and so forth).

See Example: Multiple Payments invoiced separately (with each payment)
