Introduction

References: HELP RDP INFO RDP

Rate Desk Pricing (RDP) is a method used to manually price PNRs that do not auto price (4P) or cannot be agent assist priced (4P-). This usually applies to more complex itineraries. Rate Desk Pricing (RDP) creates and stores a ticket record for use at the time of ticketing. The format, 4/R initiates the process. RDP Guidelines:

• RDP requires a GS duty code. • The fare information stored using RDP entries is stored in a

ticket record for use at the time of ticketing. • The ticket record contains all the pricing information for a

maximum of 4 passenger type codes (PTCs) per PNR. • The maximum number of segments that can be rate desk priced

is 16 including ARNKs or surface segments. • The maximum size of a horizontal fare ladder is 8 lines. The

maximum number of characters on each line is 30, including spaces.

• PNRs can be priced from queue 19, category 0 or can be priced out of queue.

• Any significant change to the PNR invalidates an attached ticket record.

RDP Features and Benefits

• Provides the ability to select passenger type codes and/or segments.

• An entry to resume when an RDP sequence is interrupted. • An entry to insert commission data in the ticket record. • An entry to insert the tour code and ticket designator. • The ability to ignore and re-enter the fare and tax data. • A simplified method of correcting almost any fare data. • A verification process is provided that allows review of a

copied ticket record in the event of a PNR change.

Fare Ladder

Reference: HELP 4/L INFO 4/L- The function identifier for storing the fare ladder is 4/L. This field is used to store city codes, airlines, and base fare amounts as part of the RDP process. Guidelines

• Fare ladders require no spaces but they can be used for clarity. The 30 character maximum includes spaces.

• Use city codes and not airport codes (e.g., CHI, NYC and PAR).

• The total base fare should be shown at the end of the fare construction.

Symbol Explanation S Stopover charge Q Fuel surcharge M Mileage fare XT Multiple taxes XF Passenger facility charge (PFC). Use airport codes to

reflect these charges. * Left parenthesis @ Right parenthesis /- Surface segment (open jaw) // Surface segment (open jaw) on international itineraries

International Fare with equivalent amount paid, no tax The entry allows the input of two different currencies when the ticket is purchased in one country for travel originating in another country. The fare box on the ticket must show the currency of the origin country and the equivalent amount of the currency being collected. A 3-letter ISO currency code must precede the fare and equivalent amounts. Example The fare is 1000 British Pounds (GBP). The ticket is issued in U.S. Dollars (USD) so the U.S. Dollar equivalent must be stored.

Modifying Rate Desk Pricing

Reference: HELP 4/IGN HELP 4/@R

The RDP process can be modified either before or after the fare is stored. Depending on the point in the RDP process, it can be easier to store the fare and then make the change rather than trying to change in the middle of the process.
