The IATA BSP reconciliation can be processed by either:
- Downloading the IATA .HOT format file report using BSPlink and importing it into CCTE.
- Using the Approval and Payment method of Creditor payment. See "Approval & Payment Method"
It should be noted that the following BSP procedures serve as a guide only and may not cover all reconciliation scenarios. Further information on how to reconcile the BSP Return should be sought from your accounting professional.
BSP Electronic File Formats
The CrossCheck Travel Enterprise BSP Reconciliation module can reconcile electronic file types in .HOT file format. The ASCII format (previously supplied by BSP) has been retired.
