Travelport+: Ticketing With Service Fee (TKPSFP) — Trams Back Office Interface Guide

  • Updated

Travelport has introduced a new feature that allows agents to issue airline tickets and service fees in a single command:

TKPSFP(amount)

Tickets and service fees issued using this command automatically interface into the same Trams invoice—with no free‑text accounting required.

This article includes:

Quick Steps

New Command

Issue tickets and service fees together using:

TKPSFP(amount)

Example:
TKPSFP30.00 → Creates one invoice containing ticket(s) + service fee.

Fee multiplication rule:
The service fee amount is multiplied by the number of tickets.
Example: TKPSFP30.00 with 2 tickets → $60 total fee

To issue a flat service fee (not multiplied per ticket), use:

TKPSFPT(amount)

Setup (Required)

Update your MMTD (MIR Types) table:

  • MPD = S

Important Notes

  • Only TKPSFP‑issued fees interface automatically.
  • Service fees issued separately using SFP still require free‑text accounting.

Quick Workflows

1. Ticket + Service Fee (Automatic Interface)

TKPSFP(amount)

Example: TKPSFP30.00
Result: You're done—no free-text accounting required.

2. Service Fee Only (Manual Accounting Required)

Issue the fee:

SFP(amount)/LR

Example: SFP30.00/LR

Add free-text accounting:

DI.FT-MS(ms#)A*ALXD*TK(MCO#)*TT(type)*TF(amount)*CM(commission)

Example:

DI.FT-MS90A*ALXD*TK0891234567*TT11*TF30.00*C*M98.5

Complete ticketing/invoicing using:

  • TKP or
  • Non-ticketing MIR: TKPDIDAD

Summary (Quick Reference)

Scenario Command Auto Interface? Accounting Required?
Ticket + Service Fee TKPSFP ✔ Yes ✖ No
Service Fee Only SFP ✖ No ✔ Yes

Detailed Setup and Processes

Background

Previously, service fees had to be issued separately from tickets using the SFP command.
Because ticketing and service fees were separate transactions, agents needed to:

  • Enter free-text accounting
  • Issue the ticket or invoice afterward via TKP or TKPDIDAD

What’s Changed

With the new TKPSFP command:

  • Ticket(s) and service fee interface together
  • A single invoice is created automatically
  • No free-text accounting lines are required for the service fee
Important:
Only service fees issued using TKPSFP interface automatically.
Fees issued with SFP remain unchanged and still require manual accounting.

Required Setup: MMTD (MIR Types) Table

Set MPD = S in the MMTD table.

Example:

>MMTU               MIR TYPES      - 11VY          13NOV       

TKT        -·Y      REFUND       -·Y      VOID         -·Y     

UNVOID     -·N      SPOILED      -·N      MPD          -·S     

EMD        -·Y      NDC          -·Y

Why this matters

When MPD = S:

  • Travelport+ creates a separate MIR for service fees issued via SFP.

  • This MIR contains no segments, so the interface processing log displays the following. (This is expected, not an error.)

    “Invoice Contains No Segments, Record Ignored [,DVTYPX]”
  • When the ticket with service fee is issued (TKPSFP), a single MIR contains both ticket and fee data and interfaces without warning.

Issuing Service Fees

Option 1: Ticket With Service Fee (Recommended)

TKPSFP(amount)

Example:

TKPSFP30.00
  • Creates one combined invoice
  • Total fee = fee × number of tickets
  • No additional accounting required

Option 2: Service Fee Separately (SFP)

(Follows legacy manual‑accounting workflow. See Travelport+ (Galileo 1G): Service Fees)

Steps:

  1. Issue the service fee SFP(amount)/LR Example: SFP30.00/LR
  2. Add free-text accounting DI.FT-MS(ms#)*AALXD*TK(MCO#)*TT(type)*TF(amount)*CM(commission) Example: DI.FT-MS90A*ALXD*TK0891234567*TT11*TF30.00*CM98.5
  3. Issue the ticket or invoice
    • TKP
    • or TKPDIDAD (non-ticketing MIR)

Final Summary

  • Use TKPSFP when issuing ticket and fee together → Automatic interface
  • Use SFP for fee‑only scenarios → Manual accounting required
