[DCCI] Enhanced Processing of Seat EMDs: EMD Exchanges

Digital Connect Check-In is introducing the capability to exchange Electronic Miscellaneous Documents (EMDs) issued for seats Air Extras (AEs).
This new functionality replaces the old Digital Connect Check-In logic of refund & new sell and enables the users to proceed with the exchange of an old EMD to a new EMD for seat ancillaries.
You can activate this feature with s4ci.feature.exchange.enabled set to true.

Digital Connect Check-In will support the following transaction types:

exchange with additional collection
exchange with refund of residual value
even exchange
reassociation

Supported Forms of Payment for additional collection:

Credit Card

Supported Forms of Refund for refund of residual value:

Credit Card
Travel Bank

Note: The residual value is always refunded to the original FOP.

Currently, only one EMD to one EMD exchange is supported. The work on exchanges of multiple EMDs to one EMD and vice versa will be done in the future.

EMD-2-EMD EXCH: Adjust dcci/seats/select

When the new functionality EMD Exchanges is turned ON, the old Refund functionality (s4ci.feature.refund.enabled) will not be applied and the EMD issued for seat Air Extra (AE) will be exchanged.
This adjustment does not change the current functionality ruled by a configuration prohibiting refunds of seat charges within the specific time before DEP, when a seat value is zero.
