To complete the refund process, place an action code in the ACTION field. The default is C /Confirm/ and is automatically filled in when the template is accessed. Additional Data template  fields that are not applicable to your locations display without parentheses. The Additional Data template is the last template in the Automated Refund process.

Ticket Database
Worldspan provides the functionality to fully automate the refund process for paper tickets by auto filling the required data needed to issue the refund from the new ticket database. The new ticket database contains 13 months of ticket information and is created specifically for the purpose of processing an Automated Refund.

Changes to the electronic ticket refund template are as follows:

New Field           Explanation
FARE USED           The data for this field is
                    input by the user. This field
                    is a mandatory field.
RN                  The number of refund notice  
                    documents to print. Default is
                    2.                           
ADDL DATA           Place an /x/ in the
                    parentheses to display the
                    additional data template.

The same Additional Taxes and Additional Data template is used for both paper and electronic ticket refunds.

Automated Refund Notice Document
An Automated Refund Notice document is printed for each automated paper and electronic refund process. It is issued when either of the Automated Refund templates is successfully completed. Two copies of the document print for each automated refund. The notice prints to plain paper only.

Daily Document Log /DDL/
Two new refund status codes are added to the DDL
depending on the type of refund issued. The status code of RF indicates an automated paper refund. The status code of RR indicates a refund reverse of an automated paper refund. These codes apply to the primary and the secondary levels of the DDL and the Daily Activity Report displays.        

Example- Display the Primary DDL

In the example above there are two new fields added to this display - RN and REFREV. RN indicates the refund notice document number. REFREV is the indicator for the Refund Reverse TAIR control number. If the refund is for split
forms of payment, both forms of payment and associated refunded amounts display in the secondary DDL response.

For a net ticket transaction the words NET AMT appear in the NET AMT column of the DDL.

Reprint the Automated Refund Notice Document
New functionality allows the reprint of the Automated Refund Notice document from the DDL display. The reprint entry /DDRF/ allows the input of a single item number, a range of item numbers, or several individual item numbers.

Example- Reprint of Refund Notice Document Processed
Entry- DDRF1       Reprint a single item number
       DDRF5-10    Reprint a range of item numbers
       DDRF5/12/22 Reprint individual item numbers
Response- REPRINT OF REFUND NOTICE DOCUMENT PROCESSED

The maximum item numbers allowed in the reprint entry is ten. The reprint of the Refund Notice document prints at the location making the reprint entry.

Refund Reverse
The Refund Reverse /RR/ is only applicable for an automated refund issued for a paper ticket as indicated by the status code of RF on the DDL. A Refund Reverse can only be made on the same
day the refund was processed.

A DDL or DDP must be displayed in order for the Refund Reverse entry to process.

Example- Refund Reverse
Entry- DDRR1             Reverse refund item
                         number   
       DDRR0479127074512 Reverse refund/specific
                         number
Response- Change the RF status code on the DDL/DDP to RR

There is no limit to the number of times a document number can be refunded and then reversed.

Document History /DH/
Refund and Refund Reverse information is added to the Document History record if the PNR is displayed prior to processing the refund or making the Refund Reverse entry.

Example- Document History
Entry- *DH2
Response- /display mode only - spacing approximate – entire width not shown/

In the above Document History display the element indentifiers for both refund and refund reverse begin with R. For example, RFARE or REFREV. A refund element does not display if there is no data for the item. Since there are no limit to the
number of times a paper ticket can be refunded and then reversed, only the latest refund and refund reverse elements appear in the Document History display.

Refund Report
A monthly Refund Report, containing all the automated paper and electronic refund ticket numbers, can be printed.

Entry                       Function
DD*RF*MMAY-JT               Prints for the month
                            of May /MMAY/

                            IATA number /7720433/
                            and for the month of

DD*RF-JTC4BRR*MMAY          Prints to a specific
                            printer /JTC4BRR/ and
                            for the month of May
                            /MMAY/
DD*RF*C220*MJUN-JT*7720433  Prints for a specific
                            carrier /C220/ for the
                            month of June /MJUN/
                            and a specific IATA

The automated paper refund data is retained for two months and two days. There is no limit to the number of times a report can be printed. A separate page is printed for each airline code.
