21 Agency set up for multiple PCCs

22 Travelport Confidential22 Where an agency has multiple PCCs in a single or across multiple locations it is possible to configure Travelport Rooms and More to have commissions paid to each location or to have all commissions paid to a single location. This can be achieved either at the PayPal level or the Travelport Rooms and More level. Looking at the following combinations may help in making a decision for your Agency. Consider the following:- 1.How many PCCs (or individual offices)? 2.How many PayPal accounts and in which currencies? 3.Who does the commission statement need to be sent to? It may be helpful to draw a grid, and define, for each PCC, who their statement needs to be sent to and type of PayPal account. Examples on the following pages may assist with this.

31 Management of User Accounts

32 Making a User inactive The Master account holder will need to from time to time set an account as inactive for an agent who leaves the agency. As Travelport Rooms and More still requires booking information attached to this user we advise that passwords are changed for these inactive accounts. The process is as follows:- On the home page select the I lost my password/login option Travelport Confidential32

33 Making a User inactive Complete the login (if known) or e-mail address of the user. As the e-mail address is that of the user you are making inactive, it is assumed that you have access to their e-mail account (either by auto forwarding or via the e-mail administrator) Travelport Confidential33

34 Travelport Confidential34 Making a User inactive Once the e-mail is received either:- 1.Leave the auto generated password in place thus ensuring no-one can use this account in the future Or 2. Click the link in the e-mail and change the password.
