Reissue/Refund Override

The Reissue/Refund Override dialog is used only for the service type Refund/Reissue. The dialog contains a cell for Rule Match Fare Class, Tariff, Rule, and Category.

Rule Match Fare Class specifies the fare class code that must be used when matching alternate category data as specified by the Tariff, Rule, and Category. Data in this cell does not specify fare class data that must appear on the passenger’s ticket.  The resulting fare class on the passenger’s ticket is derived from automated rules processing and not from the provisions records.

When the Rule Match Fare Class cell contains an * (asterisk) followed by alpha-numeric characters, the rule matching fare class for the Reissue/Refund service is determined by using the first character of the Fare Class Code on the Record 1 or Category 25 Resulting Fare Class cell for the fare component on which the Reissue/Refund service applies followed by the values that follow the * (asterisk) in the Provisions Record Rule Match Fare Class cell.

Tariff

The Tariff cell specifies the tariff in which the alternate automated rules category data is found.  In order to apply the Reissue/Refund service specified in the provisions record, processing must pass the automated rules conditions in the specified tariff and rule as specified in the rule cell of the Refund/Reissue Override dialog for the category specified.  The Reissue/Refund service overrides all category data for the category specified in the Category drop-down list.

Rule

The Rule cell specifies the rule in which the alternate automated rules category data is found.  In order to apply the Reissue/Refund service specified in the provisions record, processing must pass the automated rules conditions in the specified rule and tariff as specified in the Tariff cell of the Refund/Reissue Override dialog for the category specified.  The Reissue/Refund service overrides all category data for the category specified in the Category drop-down list.

Category 31— Voluntary Changes and any applicable voluntary change data in Category 16— Penalties  is overridden.  Processing will ignore all automated rules data (at any level)  for Category 31 and voluntary change data in Category 16 that is published for the fare.  Instead processing will apply the Category 31 data found in the tariff and rule specified in the following cells.  The Category 31 found in the tariff and rule specified in the Reissue/Refund Override dialog applies in lieu of any Category 31 and Category 16 data published for the fare.

Category 33— Voluntary Refunds and any applicable voluntary refund data in Category 16— Penalties. Processing will ignore all automated rules data (at any level) for Category 33 and voluntary refund data in Category 16 that is published for the fare. Instead processing will apply the Category 33 data found in the tariff and rule specified in the Tariff and/or Rule cells.  The Category 33 found in the tariff and rule specified in the Reissue/Refund Override dialog applies in lieu of any Category 33 and Category 16 data published for the fare.
