Introduction to SIS (General Webcast) “Integrated Settlement” is based on the principles of completely paperless

billing, invoicing, and settlement

Benefits include: Data quality improvements to the billed carrier Billing carrier’s upload format doesn’t impact billed carrier’s download format Reduction in paper and courier fees and internal supply chain (paper handling)

costs Automation & Optional Services Quicker cash flow due to reduced rejection timeframes

‘Airline Profile’ to be a centralized database for all IS options and permissions

IS features discussed are subject to change


Non-core Functionality Core functionality of SIS enables paperless billing and settlement. The non-core functionality is considered by the SIS Working Groups

to be “value-added services”; its final inclusion is dependent upon implementation costs and airline demand and will likely be billed to carriers separately, based on usage.

Non-core functionality includes (but is not limited to): Time of Sales Processes Some file formats for some processes Sampling-specific functionality for processes other than Provisional

Billing and Rejections (Sampling over general IS processes is “core”) Non-core functionality is coloured orange on the following pages

Final) and non-F&F (NFP non-final) purposes NFP non-final could minimize rejections without any obligation by the

carriers Neutral Prorate Correction Service (NPCS)

Corrects errors with sales records Prorate still considered to be “neutral” Increasingly complex levels of correction as allowed by the carrier’s profile

(Update the master tables, etc) Correction level added to record

All Time of Sales processes, including NFP and NPCS are non-core
