5 Ticket Issuance Phase IV/Rate-Desk priced & Ticket Fare Record (TFR) Sabre Functionality Support Phase IV, whereby ticketing data is manually input by users. Itinerary can be priced and automatically stored in a Phase IV using the WD entry. Phase IV is always considered as manually priced. Do not support Automated Ticket Fare Record (TFR). Abacus Functionality Support Rate Desk pricing (known as Phase IV to Sabre users), whereby ticketing data is manual input by users using the <W#C> entry. Support Automated Ticket Fare Record (TFR). It is created when accepting a fare returned from Abacus SmartPrice (similar to Sabre ATSE) or Abacus FareX (unique to Abacus Net Fare system) pricing response. An Abacus TFR can be flagged as: Manual Priced specific fare conditions are not met Auto-priced all fare rules are accepted and validated Rate-desk priced all fare information is manually updated in the ticket fare record. All FareX NET TFR are tagged as Manual Unable to ticket from Phase IV / TFR previously stored by PNR owner. Author: Sabre / Abacus April 2010 Page 5
6 Phase IV/Rate-Desk pricing will follow the rules of the PNR owner prime host. For example, the PNR is created by Sabre and service by Abacus, the rules of Sabre s Phase IV will apply. The same goes for the display of Ticket list, i.e. **W. However, the above rules do not apply to some functions such as WTFR, baggage and NVB/NVA year indicators. WTFR Not supported in AAA environment. Current GBA rule. Baggage For Phase IV/TFR ticketing, it will follow the rules of the PNR owner. For Direct ticketing, it will follow the rules of the ticketing GDS. NVB/NVA year indicator Not supported in Phase IV/Rate Desk pricing. Current GBA rule.

The validating Carrier may also be manually updated in TFR Automated TFRs can be refreshed after itinerary change or certain passenger type code changes. Author: Sabre / Abacus April 2010 Page 6
7 Pricing the PNR does not automatically delete a Phase IV. Tickets can be issued immediately after itinerary changes or Passenger Type Code changes, except for Phase IV. If a Phase IV is present, an itinerary change causes the Phase IV to be flagged with itinerary change and the Phase IV must be recreated before a ticket can be issued from it. Phase IV shell history Phase IV mask allowed Re-pricing of PNR that has been updated/modified will be tagged as AWAITING REPRICE in the TFR status. NET TFR will not be auto deleted. Agents still have to manually delete it. Itinerary changes and Passenger Type Code changes cause the PNR to be flagged as Awaiting Reprice. Tickets cannot be issued until the TFRs are refreshed or repriced. No TFR history Inhibited from using Phase IV mask. Abacus uses TFR (Rate-desk Priced W C) and linear entries (Linear Entry Qualifier W I). WTFR WTFR is not supported even if is serviced in Abacus environment. Therefore, must create Phase IV or Rate desk pricing. NIL Baggage The Phase IV shows NIL and NIL prints on the ticket. This applies to all PTC.
