Chapter 7 PNR MANDATORY ELEMENTS
AMADEUS BASIC RESERVATIONS 7-1
HE PNR
A Passenger Name Record (PNR) contains the details of a passenger’s reservation andother information related to a passenger’s trip. PNRs can also contain information toassist airline personnel with passenger handling.
The items of information that make up a PNR are called elements. A PNR can containa maximum of 999 elements. These PNR elements can either be mandatory or optional.
The mandatory elements are:
Letter Definition Transaction Command
S Segment SSM Name NM
A Contact AP
R Received From RF
T Ticketing TK
When creating a PNR, you can enter the elements in any order. You can also combineseveral elements into one entry. As the system accepts each element, it assigns anumber and places it in the proper sequence.
After you have entered the five mandatory elements, use an end transaction commandto file the record in the Amadeus System. When a PNR is filed, it is assigned a 6-character code called a record locator. The record locator is used to retrieve a previouslycreated and filed PNR.
PNRs remain active in the Amadeus system for three days after the date of the lastactive or inactive segment in the itinerary. Once a PNR has been purged, you canretrieve the corresponding past date record for another five years.
