Use

In this IMG activity you define airline corporate programs that you want to use in your company. These corporate programs facilitate the processing of flights for both the company and the business traveler. The usage of such programs corresponds largely to booking an electronic ticket (ETIX) but is tailored to the needs of corporate customers.

Corporate programs in common use are Lufthansa's Pay as you fly (PAF) program and Air France's Carte d'abonnement. However, since there are no uniform regulations for such programs, airlines define their own processes and requirements. The processes and requirements for the corresponding corporate customer program can be stored in the SAP system using the BADI FITP_TRAVEL_PLANNING and the implementation CL_MANAGE_PAF_DATA.

The process can be described using the example of Lufthansas Pay-as-you-fly program as follows. By using certain SSR elements in a booking, it is possible for the traveler to authenticate himself as a corporate customer of the airline and to request use of the corporate customer program for the booked flight segments. Once the request is confirmed by Lufthansa within the booking, the traveler can check in at the airport using a predetermined ID (credit card or frequent flyer number) and board the airplane. It is not necessary for the travel agency to issue a ticket, resulting in lower costs for the company in case the traveler does not board the flight. Lufthansa receives payment for the flight directly from the business customer and not from the travel agency as a clearing house.

Requirements

You have a contract with an airline for the use of the corporate customer program, and the data for authentication are known.
