PNR LIST ENTRIES (LPO) HELP PAGE: HE LPO LPO search by office allows you to create a list of passenger names and record locators, which you can display on your terminal, send to a printer, or place on a queue. You can search for passengers by specifying criteria such as ticketing information or boarding points, airline etc. You can display, print or queue the results as many times as you wish, or retrieve a pnr by referencing it from a list. Each office is allowed to have a maximum of 10 LPO searches in the table. Following are the entries to be used for searching the PNRs: 7 LPO/ALL To search through all pnrs for which your office is responsible You can further narrow your search using search codes and criteria. For example enter: LPO/A (AF, BA) B (CPH) LPO transaction code for search by office /A slash, first search code (mandatory) (AF, BA) open bracket, search criteria separated by commas Close bracket (conditional depending on search code) B second search code (optional) (CPH) second search criteria (conditional by search code) LPO/D(15DEC) LPO/D(01DEC-31DEC) LPO/D(01DEC-31DEC)S(1234AB) LPO/D(15DEC)B(KWI) list of PNRs for specific date list of PNRs for date range list of PNRs for date range & specific sign list of PNRs for specific date & boarding Point After the above entries below will be the system response: ACCEPTED CHECK REQUEST STATUS WITH LPS/PS Follow up entries to see the PNRs LPS/PS display the passenger list status table -We can use further entries once the requested list is showing as PROCESSED LPS/D1 LPS1 or LPS2 display the search results retrieve a pnr from the passenger list 71A

19 AMADEUS QUEUS The Amadeus Queue system is an electronic diary that helps you to manage your travel office s messages and reservations. Amadeus Queues help us to: Simplify your work environment Organize your workload Send PNRS and messages to queues in your office and to branch office queues Work on PNRS and messages that require further action PNRS may require further action for the following reasons: - Segments, services, options, or seats from a waitlist have not yet been confirmed. - The office responsible for the PNR has changed. - There has been a change in the flight segment. - There has been a change in the ticketing arrangement. - The ticketing time limit has expired. - There has been a change in the group PNR. Each airline and travel agent is provided with a queue bank for automatic placement of PNRS and messages. What Is a Queue? A queue is a holding area for PNRs or messages that will require further action at a later date or time. It is identified by a number from 1 to 99. Each queue can be divided into categories, which are numbered from 0 to 254. Some queues may also be further divided into four date ranges. Some queue numbers are predetermined by Amadeus because of industry standards. PNRs and messages are automatically placed in these predetermined queues by airlines, hotel companies, car companies, other providers and Amadeus. The Queue system sorts reservations and messages into three divisions: Queue Numbers Queue Numbers are assigned automatically by the system. They correspond to the type of action required in the PNR. Categories Queue Categories are a sub-division that divide PNRS in the same queue corresponding to the exact action required in the PNR. Its displayed as ( C ) and are numbered from 0 to 254. Date Ranges Date ranges divide PNRS in the same queue in the same category according to the urgency of the action required. DATE RANGE CODE DESCRIPTION D1 Date Range 1 Today plus two (2) days in future D2 Date Range 2 Three (3) to five (5 ) days from current date D3 Date Range 3 Six (6) to Eight (8) days from current date D4 Date Range 4 Nine (9) days and beyond from current date 191A
20 QUEUE BANK - Every office has its own queue bank. Travel agencies are automatically provided with 16 predefined queues and airline offices with 19 queues. You can create additional queues where you can manually place PNRs and messages that require follow-up. And you can select one category to be associated to your Amadeus sign, so that any PNRs or Messages you create will be placed in the appropriate queue in your assigned category. CERTAIN ACTIONS SUCH AS CONFIRMATION/DENIAL OF A SEGMENT OR ACTIONS ON GROUP PNRS TRIGGER AUTOMATIC QUEUING OR MESSAGING. PNRS CAN ALSO BE PLACED ON QUEUES MANUALLY. EACH AIRLINE AND TRAVEL AGENT IS PROVIDED WITH A QUEUE BANK FOR AUTOMATIC PLACEMENT OF PNRS AND MESSAGES. THE QUEUES THAT ARE AVAILABLE ARE SHOWN HERE : QUEUE DESCRIPTION 0 - GENERAL Miscellaneous queue.
