Cargo Billing SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Cargo Billing – with IS • Original Billings • Rejection Memo & Charge Memo (same record but different fields used) • Correspondence • Can also be sent outside of Integrated Settlement (e.g. via email) SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc

Correspondence – With IS • Correspondence can include an “authority to bill” flag which identifies when the authority to bill has been issued • Not tied to settlement periods like transactions in Integrated Settlement – real-time and similar to e-mail but via IS-WEB interface • Validation ensures no “cross-over” – correspondence can only be in reply to another correspondence (or 3rd-stage RM) and cannot be out-of-order SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Audit Trail(Cargo Only) SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Audit Trail & Rejection History (Cargo) • With operational data being stored: • Future records (e.g. rejections) don’t need supporting documents re-attached • IS-WEB can be used to search and take action on previous billings: • Search & browse through all records for which your carrier billed or was billed • View audit trail of linked correspondences, rejections, and original billings • Find outgoing correspondences that haven’t been responded to • Go directly to appropriate action SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Audit Trail Analysis & Reporting (Cargo) • Search by defined record fields • Drill down through defined record fields and structure • Viewing and downloading of analysis (reporting) available • Actions (where applicable): • View the rejection history • Create a rejection memo • Create correspondence SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Cargo & IATA e-freight • Currently all cargo attachments are “electronic presentation” (scanned images or other visual representations) • When IATA e-freight is fully implemented: • Most records will be “e-electronic” (a structured, machine-readable format) and the format will be required by IS • Both the billed and billing carriers will have digital copies of some records, which will no longer need to be attached in IS • Before e-freight is fully implemented, carriers may bilaterally choose to send the e-electronic records or to not send any records SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc

Charge Categories & Charge Codes • Miscellaneous submissions to be based on the IATA Aviation Invoice Standard, which includes Charge Categories and Codes • Charge Categories and Charge Codes uniquely categorise the Miscellaneous billings and allow them to be sent to the correct person/department and posted automatically to the correct account SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Charge Categories & Charge Codes • Examples from Ground Handling SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
Miscellaneous Supporting Documents • As with Pax and Cargo, Miscellaneous has two types of supporting documents: • Electronic Presentation - Supporting document that is digital but not in a defined and structured format. The document might be a PDF file or an image that a computer can read but not extract data from. • E-Electronic Document – Supporting document that is in a defined and structured format which can be parsed by a computer. Example formats are IDEC, XML, or CSV. SIS – Materials – RA42 Breakout Cargo & Misc
E-Invoicing WG Through November • Will finalise the definition of Charge Categories and Charge Codes and the associated record structures • Will decide which supporting documents should be “e-electronic” and will define those formats. • The decision to require e-electronic supporting documents will be based on volume and the ease of conversion into the “e-electronic” format.(Some supporting documents can never be “e-electronic”.) • Will define a mechanism for “Central Control” • A carrier will be able to see a report of all outgoing billings for all input types a given period.
