109304 Feature BSP DISH 20 FILE TYPE DISCONTINUED BY IATA:-

Users will not be able to import BSP DISH 20 files anymore. Previously imported files can still be managed

via vendor reconciliation, and historically vendor reconciled items will continue to be present on vendor

financial reports including:-

-Vendor Payments Made

-Vendor Payments Made - by Financial Vendor

-Vendor Remittance

110780 Feature LOW COST CARRIERS:

For sector based fares, the fare pricing descriptions will now be returned as "Outbound fare" and "Inbound

fare" to differentiate between the 2 sectors.

This will now enable users to apply pricing engine rules for low cost carriers using %outbound fare% or

%inbound fare% pricing description conditions, thus ensuring that any applicable fees/markups only get

applied once.


111875 Feature FIND LABEL DIALOG

The booking management module now supports a 'Find Label' function in the various dialogs.

Previously, Control + F could be used on grids in the BMM - e.g. interface box, vendor rec results tab.

This can now also be used to find fields in a dialog.

For example, if you hit Control + F in a security profile and enter Client, it will identify any instance of the

label Client across the dialog, including all the tabs. As you click on Prev or Next, the focus will move

through each instance and change tabs where necessary.

If you click into a grid (e.g. Interface box) and use control + F you still see the old Find dialog.

The new functionality does not work on:

* Section/frame labels - e.g. Security Profile > Financials tab > Refund Types.

* Button labels.

* The values within a dropdown list or text field.


112147 Feature BING MAPS UPGRADE

Bing Maps has been upgraded from V7 to V8 as V7 is no longer supported.

There are no major changes to the user experience however three improvements now offered by Bing

Maps are:

1. Where previously multiple hotels returned in a search response were represented by multiple overlaid

pins on the map, the user will now see a single cluster point, indicating the number of hotels plotted at

this point. The cluster point will continue to divide as the user zooms in, until single pins are displayed.

2. When a user hovers over a hotel name from the list on the right hand side of the map, the pin or cluster

point will be highlighted.

3. Bing Maps location search now suggests as the user types.

112218 Feature DOLPHIN MODULE TERMINOLOGY RATIONALISATION:

From 16.5 a number of Dolphin terms have changed, please refer to the glossary for information on these

112245 Feature FOLDER DELIVERY ADDRESS:

When the new security setting 'Allow Delivery Addresss on Financial Document' (Security-> Folder->) is

ticked, a new Use Address dropdown menu will be visible from the Print dialog for all document types.

This menu could contain the following options depending on the Folder type:-

Direct:- Use Client Address, Use Delivery Address

Resale:- Use Agency Address, Use Delivery Address

Corporate:- Use Company Address, Use Client Address, Use Delivery Address

When a Delivery Address is present in a folder, this will be the default document type for all non-financial

documents.

For financial documents, the default option will always be the financial customer. For example, the

Company will be the financial customer for a corporate folder. Therefore the Agency will be the default

for a resale folder, and the Client will be the default for a direct folder.

If the security setting is unticked, then historic behavior is maintained and the delivery address will not be

used for a financial document.


112278 Feature PRODUCT DETAILS EXPORT:

The Product Details Export has been enhanced to provide a costing breakdown whereby all the costing

items that make up the total price of the product will also be cached and included as part of the export.

In addition, the LeadInPrices have been restructured and grouped by the BranchCode, Currency, and

passenger combinations to provide a more logical grouping of the lead in prices for a product.

The contracts have been reordered so that they are exported by the ContractCode within the Contract

element, in alphabetical order (A-Z).

In order to allow the export to be more readable in a plain text editor the output will include tabs and

carriage returns such that child elements are on new lines and indented relative to their parent, similar to

the way in which XML files are formatted when viewed in Internet Explorer.

CR1711, DOL-50

112573 Feature NEW VENDOR FINANCIALS SETTING:-

CR1710, DOL-79


113837 Feature GIATA/TTI CODES:

Development has been implemented to import GIATA hotel information and map it to hotel vendor

profiles. The GIATA codes can then be used to de-dupe hotel search results, based on cheapest sell price,

cheapest buy price, or rank as set in the pricing engine.

The de-duping can be overriden by excluding certain locations and/or date ranges via a new "Exclude

dedupe locations/dates" tab within Settings > Locations.

114799 Feature AMADEUS BOOKING IMPORT:

If commission percentage values are included in a net fare Amadeus booking import file, which will be

the booking management module travel folder. There are 2 types of behaviour depending on the contents

of the file.

1. Files containing both a KN line and a KS line

When interfaced, the Fare Buy (KN line) will be reduced by the percentage in the FM line

a. The fare sell will be taken from the KS line

b. The “is markup” box will be checked

c. The Markup amount will be the difference between the fare sell and the new fare buy calculated

after the deduction of the commission percentage

2. Files containing no KS line

b. The Buy will show as the KN line minus the commission.

c. The Sell will show as the original KN line

hotel 'Quick Availability' search results page: 'clear clear-product-link', 'return-to-product-link' and

'navigate-link new-search-link'

116173 Feature WINDOWS SERVICES - AUTO-PNR:

Additional optional logging has been added to the Windows Services code which writes to the Event Log.

Progress of the auto-pnr is written out so it can be seen if it has stopped or failed.

A new dolphin.ini setting has been added to the [Testing] Section called:

"LogAutoInterfacingProgressToDB"

When this is set to 0, no logging will take place

When this is set to 1, logging will take place to the BulkOperationLogs_TB for the Auto-PNR operation.

The Message will contain various text depending on the outcome. The message type will be "SUCCESS" if

the file interfaces successfully. If it fails, it will be a UIMESSAGE (this is the same as the message seen in

the interface box when it doesn’t interface). If something goes badly wrong it will be FAILURE.
