6 August 2008SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast6 SIS Webcasts  August 6  Passenger Billings (including prime, sampling, auto-billing, non-prime, audit trail, and supporting documents)  August 7  Integrated Settlement Data Interfaces (including IS-WEB and validation)  Cargo & Miscellaneous (including Cargo original billings and rejections)  September 3  General SIS Webcast (repeat of webcast done in July)  See http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/finance/clearing/sis/webcast.htm for schedules and materials http://www.iata.org/whatwedo/finance/clearing/sis/webcast.htm

7 August 2008SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast7 Introduction to SIS (General Webcast)  “Integrated Settlement” is based on the principles of completely paperless billing, invoicing, and settlement  Benefits include:  Data quality improvements to the billed carrier  Billing carrier’s upload format doesn’t impact billed carrier’s download format  Reduction in paper and courier fees and internal supply chain (paper handling) costs  Automation & Optional Services  Quicker cash flow due to reduced rejection timeframes  ‘Airline Profile’ to be a centralized database for all IS options and permissions  IS features discussed are subject to change

8 August 2008SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast8 Non-core Functionality  Core functionality of SIS enables paperless billing and settlement.  The non-core functionality is considered by the SIS Working Groups to be “value-added services”; its final inclusion is dependent upon implementation costs and airline demand and will likely be billed to carriers separately, based on usage.  Non-core functionality includes (but is not limited to):  IS-XML File Format  Non-core functionality is coloured orange on the following pages

15 August 2008SIS – Materials – Pax Non-Prime Billing Webcast15 Audit Trail & Rejection History  With operational data being stored:  Future records (e.g. rejections) don’t need supporting documents re-attached  IS-WEB can be used to search and take action on previous billings:  Search & browse through all records for which your carrier billed or was billed  View audit trail of linked correspondences, rejections, and prime billings  Find outgoing correspondences that haven’t been responded to  Go directly to appropriate action
