Allowing fulfillment of electronic ticketing transactions that are compatible with industry standards. d Enhancing features: : 1. A new XT Breakdown Acceptance indicator will be introduced in the E-ticket Carrier Profile which denotes whether carrier can accept a break out of all taxes (up to 99 paid and up to 99 unpaid). Please refer to Appendix 1 for the sample of carrier profile with the new indicator. The Agent Coupon & E-Ticket Passenger Itinerary Receipt will be enhanced if electronic ticketing carrier supports XT Breakdown Acceptance.
