Matches Field Descriptions

If Modify or Add are selected in the Change Type field in the Changes group box, the following fields apply in the Matches group box:

Matches Group Box (Change Type = Modify or Add)

Field Name	Field Description
Match To	This field defaults to blank when first displayed. The other three options for this field are: First Match— Identified matches are compared and the program uses the first eligible fare amount. Greater— Identified matches are compared and the program uses the highest of the eligible fare amounts. Lesser— Identified matches are compared and the program uses the lowest eligible fare amounts.
Create Result If Match Is	This drop-down list does not display if Cancel or Restore are selected in the Change Type drop-down list (Changes group box). This field defaults to blank when first displayed. The other options for this field are: Lesser— When you select this option and the Match To fare is lower than the fare from the Inclusions criteria, then a change result is created. Greater— When you select this option and the Match To fare is higher than the fare from the Inclusions criteria, then a change result is created. Either— When you select this option and the Match To fare is either lower or higher than the fare from the Inclusions criteria, then a change result is created. If multiple matches are found results will be created for the highest and lowest fares. For example, if the fare specified in Inclusions is 400.00 and multiple fares are matched including those with values of 450.00, 375.00, 350.00, and 800.00 then results will be created for both 350.00 and 800.00 since they are the highest and lowest values. Equal— When you select this option and the Match To fare is equal to the fare from the Inclusions criteria, then a change result is created.
If No Match	This field, with its two radio buttons (Discard Result and Use Selected Amount), does not display if Cancel is selected in the Change Type drop-down list (Changes group box). By default, the Use Selected Amount radio button is selected. The Use Selected Amount option, when selected, uses the fare amount from the Inclusions and Changes criteria. The Discard Result option, when selected, results in no change to the fare amount of the fare identified from the Inclusions criteria.

If Cancel is selected in the Change Type field in the Changes group box, the following fields apply in the Matches group box:

Matches Group Box (Change Type = Cancel)

Field Name	Field Description
Match To	This drop-down list displays when Cancel is selected in the Change Type drop-down list (Changes group box). However, the only options are blank or First Match. The program compares identified matches when the First Match option is selected and uses the first eligible fare amount. This field defaults to blank when first displayed.
Cancel	By default, the If No Match radio button is selected. This field, with its two radio buttons (If Match and If No Match), displays only if Cancel is selected in the Change Type drop-down list (Changes group box). When the If Match radio button is selected, the program cancels the fares identified by the Inclusions criteria if a match is found according to the Matches criteria. When the If No Match radio button is selected, the program does not cancel the fares identified by the Inclusions criteria if a match is found according to the Matches criteria.

The Matches group box displays additional fields once you have made a selection from the Match To drop-down list. The display of these fields varies depending on your selection from the Match To drop-down list and the selected scope of the criteria set.

Field Name	Field Description
Order	This field displays when First Match is selected from the Match To drop-down list. This field is used to set the order for the match criteria.
Carrier	When a carrier code is entered in this field, the program matches fares with the specified carrier. You can enter any valid carrier code as part of the Matches criteria. However, if a carrier is not entered then the carrier entered as part of the Inclusions criteria will be used. The field accepts up to three alphanumeric characters. Click the Carrier field label to access the Carrier Codes dialog box.
Tariff	When tariff code is entered in this field, the program matches fares with the specified tariff. You can enter any valid tariff code or tariff number as part of the Matches criteria. However, if the tariff is not entered then the tariff entered as part of the Inclusions criteria will be used. The field accepts up to seven alphanumeric characters. Click the Tariff field label to access the Tariff dialog box.
City 1 / City 2	When city codes are entered in these fields, the program matches fares with the specified city. Valid values are three alpha characters. These fields may be coded together or alone. Click the City field label to access the Help List for Locations dialog box.
Fare Class	When a fare class is entered in this field, the program matches fares with the specified fare class. You can enter any valid fare class as part of the Matches criteria. However, if a fare class is not entered then the fare class entered as part of the Inclusions criteria will be used. This field accepts up to eight alphanumeric characters, which should begin with an alpha.
Currency	Use this field to indicate the currency code held on the fare against which you wish to match your own fare. This is a three alpha character code.
Match Selected CUR	Check this box to indicate that the fare used for matching must match the currency of the selected fare. The selected fare is the fare that was specified in the Inclusions group box.
Adjustment Factor	Use this field to indicate the amount or percentage that you want to apply to the amount of the match fare for use in comparison. Type an amount in the text field and then select either Percent or Amount from the drop-down list under the text field. Select Amount to add to or subtract the adjustment from the fare. Select Percent to add or subtract the percent from the fare. The text field accepts up to 12 numeric characters, including one decimal point. Use a dash in this field to indicate a negative value.
Rounding Direction	Use this drop-down list to indicate the rounding direction you want to apply to an adjusted amount. Available options for this field include the following: Up, Down, Nearest Decimals, Nearest Disregard Extra Decimals, Up on Discard Extra Decimals, Round Down on Disregard Extra Decimals, Up Even, Up to Value, Nearest - Disregard Last Decimal, Down on - Disregard Last Decimal, Up on - Disregard Last Decimal. If the scope is not US/CA, then the calculated fare amount will need to be rounded for the currency code associated to it. The fare amount calculation can be a result of the adjustment factor. Once the rounding instructions have been obtained, the fare amount is rounded and the new fare amount is placed in the changed fare.
Rounding Unit	The fare will be rounded based upon these instructions and will be used as a comparison against the selection result. Options are: .001, .01, .1, 1, 10, 100, 1000, 10000, 9, .25, or 25.00.
The following fields are displayed when you click the button at the bottom of the Matches group box.
Routing	Indicate the routing number held on the fare against which you wish to match your own fare. If this field is left blank, then the system ignores any footnote that may be attached to the fares coded in the Matches group box.
Match Selected RTG	Check this box to replace the routing of the identified fare with the value from the selection result. The selected fare is the fare that was specified in the Inclusions group box.
Footnote	When a footnote is entered in this field, the program matches fares with the specified footnote. If this field is left blank, then the system ignores any footnote that may be attached to the fares coded in the Matches group box.
Match Selected FN	Check this box to replace the footnote of the identified fare with the value from the selection result. The selected fare is the fare that was specified in the Inclusions group box.
OW/RT	Use this field to indicate the one-way/round trip indicator held on the fare against which you want to match your own fare. If this field is not coded and no OW/RT has been specified in the Changes group box, then the OW/RT indicator of the selection result is used.

Eff. Date	When a date is entered in this field, the program matches fares with the specified effective date. Use a date format of ddMMMyy in this field, or click the button to access the Calender option and make a date selection. If this field is not coded and no effective date has been specified in the Changes group box, the effective date of the selection result will be “today” for US/CA fares and “tomorrow” for International fares.
Use Post Tax Amount	This field is used to instruct the post tax amount for calculations.
Add-on Zone	This field displays only if the scope is add-on. If you enter a value in this field, the program matches fares with the specified zone number. If this field is not coded, the zone number of the selection result is used.
Match Selected Add-on Zone	This field displays only if the scope is add-on. If this box is checked, the program replaces the zone number of the identified fare with the value from the selection result.
