Billing Analysis

Billing Analysis is an option in the Sales area of BSPlink. It lets an agent user query specific sales details for a particular airline in a given billing period, and it shows the information from each row of the Billing Statement option 8.

To use it, the user completes a setup box. The BSP field is filled in by default and cannot be edited, and the user must choose the airline from a list, by typing its code or name. The query must relate to a specific billing period. More than one period can be combined only if they fall in the same month 28.

The results list each transaction between the agent and that airline 2:

• Document type: ticket, refund, ADM or ACM, or EMD.
• Document number, which opens the full document details.
• Sales type, domestic or international.
• Period, issue date and currency.
• Net amount to be paid for each document.

Clicking a document row summarizes the ticket details in a table 2.

In practice, use it to support reconciliation. The BSP manual recommends that agents review the billing and confirm that every transaction issued through the TSP/GDS is reported correctly, including fare, tax and commission amounts 1. IATA does not verify the accuracy of transaction details such as fare computations. Each airline does that, and it may raise an ADM or ACM where it finds a discrepancy 1. Billing Analysis lets you narrow that check to one airline at a time, and spot items such as adjustment documents that affect the amount you owe 128.
