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 SIS – Materials – Pax Prime Billing Webcast
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 SIS – Materials – Pax Prime Billing Webcast
