    About This Document

    This Document is intended to provide guidance on the Issuance of EMD-S (Electronic Miscellanous

    Document) on Galileo.

    Introduction What is EMD?

    The IATA board has set a mandate for 100% Industry capability to issue Electronic Miscellaneous

    Documents (EMDs) by the end of 2013.

    Efficiencies and cost savings will be gained by the replacement of paper documents such as MCOs,

    Special Service Tickets, Tour Orders and Excess Baggage Tickets.

    Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) functionality is the IATA industry standard method for

    the issuance, management and fulfilment for ancillary services, such as seats, baggage fees, loungeaccess.

    EMD functionality allows airlines to process payments more efficiently and more cost effectively for

    ancillaries. As airlines make these available to sell via a GDS, travel agents will be able to accept

    payment directly and issue EMDs for settlement through BSP and ARC.

    EMD will be the electronic replacement for all standard traffic miscellaneous documents, including:

    Miscellaneous Charge Orders (MCO) or virtual MCO (vMCO);

    Multi-Purpose Documents (MPD); Excess baggage tickets.

    EMDs can also be issued for fees such as group deposits, reservations change fees and refundable

    balances.

    What are the different EMD types?

    EMD-S(Stand Alone) - can be used for any service or fee, i.e. lounge access, change fees, group

    deposits; - items that are not tied or directly related to a specific flight segment.

    EMD-A(Associated) - will be used for flight related services i.e. seats, bags, meals - associated

    directly with a specific flight segment.

    EMD-S may be issued for non-flight related services. Airlines may also opt to fulfil flight related

    services on an EMD-S initially.

    EMD-S Issuance Step by Step Process

    To issue, void and refund (where applicable) an Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD-S) is a

    very simple process through all core GDSs.

    Basic PNR built/Ticket Issued

    You CANNOTissue an EMD-S until you have the following;

    Basic PNR must be completed (shown below)

    Request for additional services has been completed via SVC segment within itinerary

    E-Ticket has been issued (not applicable to group deposits)

    Galileo PNR

    Special Services Requirement (SSR)

    Before an agent can proceed with the issuance of an EMD-S (Electronic Miscellaneous Document

    Stand Alone), a manually created SVC segment must be created in the PNR.

    Change fees are initially being introduced by airlines such as Finnair (AY) & British Airways (BA),

    however more airlines are expected to come on board in the future. The actual services that will be

    charged to an EMD will be dependent on each airlines own requirements.

    An example of how an agent enters the SVC segment is outlined below;

    November 2012 Page 4

    NB:

    Please note the date selection is flexible, some agencies decide to enter the date of when the

    EMD was issued, and some alternatively enter the date for which the passenger is travelling. You

    can enter either within the SVC segment.

    NB.Once the EMD has been issued within the PNR, an agent can remove the SVC segment if

    required. The SVC segment WILL show within the viewtrip itinerary.

    Once the SVC segment has been entered into the PNR, the EMD is ready for issuance.

    Issuance of EMD

    To issue the actual EMD use the following command (repeat if required for additional passengers)

    Galileo Entry;

    EMDI/SM1/IC1055224335000 (press enter)

    Galileo PNR

    Once the entry has been entered into the systemyou can then view the EMDs that have been

    produced;

    Once the EMD has been produced, an airline MAY require agents to complete an OSI (Other

    Supplementary Information) entry into the PNR itself. Finnair will require this, as well as British

    Airways however it does depend on what the individual airline requires.

    Viewing EMD

    Equally you can view the EMDs in a list format;

    From EMDL (List display) enter

    Galileo PNR

    As there are no specific SSR data items to re-check against the PNR, its recommended an agent

    checks the EMD status within the display field.

    Entry example;

    >EMDD2 (Display EMD #2 from list)

    Galileo PNR

    Voiding

    Just like an electronic ticket, an agent would have the choice of voiding an EMD. Please note, just

    like E tickets, EMDs can only be voided on the day of issuance.

    The EMD summary (i.e. EMDD1) is a display of the issued EMD document including the EMD

    number, passengers name, services purchased and the status of each coupon. This display will

    provide tab options to be able to select other processes such as EMD Detailed, EMD voidand EMD

    refund (where applicable).

    Galileo PNR

    NB.For British Airways (BA) please note the EMD Refund wording will not appear as shown

    previously in the document.

    Alternately you can void the document without going to the summary display by using the EMDV

    command.

    Using the EMDV entry to void the EMD number requires the input of the 13 digit EMD number.

    Example of EMDV entry to void the EMD number:

    Entry:

    >EMDV1051810100221

    Response:

    EMD 1051810100221 VOIDED - SAC 105001WJDIWT

    Galileo PNR

    Once voided, you can go into the particular history of the EMD itself. This shows the history of

    everything that has been processed on the EMD with items such as date/time of when it was issued

    & voided etc. (as shown below)

    Refunding

    NOTevery airline will permit EMD refunding; again each individual airline will stipulate this.

    BA refunds are not permitted on change fees. Its likely BA will expand their EMD services and may

    introduce refunds in the future

    For example;

    AYrefunds are permitted on group depositsalthough they are likely to expand their EMD

    services, which may offer refunds.

    BAnot permitted on change fees.

    To process a refund, an agent has to complete just like the void, in the EMD display screen (i.e.

    EMDD2)

    Once on the screen, an agent must tab down to EMD REFUND and enter the letter F (full refund)

    once entered the following shall appear;
