Electronic Miscellaneous Document

The IATA board has set a mandate for 100% Industry capability to issue Electronic Miscellaneous

Documents (EMD’s) by the end of 2013.

Efficiencies and cost savings will be gained by the replacement of paper documents such as MCOs,

Special Service Tickets, Tour Orders and Excess Baggage Tickets.

Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) functionality is the IATA industry standard method for the

issuance, management and fulfillment for ancillary services, such as seats, baggage fees, lounge

access.

EMD functionality allows airlines to process payments more efficiently and more cost effectively for

ancillaries. As airlines make these available to sell via a GDS, travel agents will be able to accept

payment directly and issue EMDs for settlement through BSP and ARC.

EMD will be the electronic replacement for all standard traffic miscellaneous documents, including:

• Miscellaneous Charge Orders (MCO) or virtual MCO (vMCO)

• Multi-Purpose Documents (MPD)

• Excess Baggage tickets

EMDs can also be issued for fees such as group deposits, reservations change fees and refundable

balances.

What are the different EMD types?

• EMD-S (Stand Alone) - can be used for any service or fee, i.e. lounge access, change

fees, group deposits; - items that are not tied or directly related to a specific flight

segment.

• EMD-A (Associated) - will be used for flight related services i.e. seats, bags, meals -

associated directly with a specific flight segment.

However, EMD-S may be issued for non-flight related services. Airlines may also opt to

fulfill flight related services on an EMD-S initially.

How do I issue an Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD-S)?

• Standalone Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD-S)

• The EMD-S is issued to fulfil non-flight related services such as lounge access, a

reservations change fee or a group deposit. These non-flight related services will be

added manually to the Passenger Name Record (PNR) / Booking File (BF) as a SVC

segment.
