Below are some common use cases on how to void flight tickets:

Void a single document

To ensure the successful void of the requested document, the request should contain:

• Add tickets (13-digit electronic document number)

Void all documents of a booking

To ensure the successful void of all documents within a booking, the request should contain:

• Add confirmationId (PNR Locator or Sabre Order ID)

Void a single document, change context, and designate printer profile

To ensure the successful void of the requested document, switch from the current Pseudo City Code (PCC) to the target PCC where the transaction should be executed and apply a previously defined printer profile for the transaction. The request should contain:

• Add tickets (13-digit electronic document number)
• Add targetPcc (The PCC where the void transaction of the ticket should be executed)
• Add designatePrinters
  • Add profileNumber (The previously defined printer profile number)

Void multiple documents and allow partial errors

To ensure the successful void of multiple documents, the request should contain:

• Add tickets (13-digit electronic document number)
• Add and set errorHandlingPolicy to ALLOW_PARTIAL_CANCEL

Note: The default value for errorHandlingPolicy is HALT_ON_ERROR.

Use Cases

The use cases below have been compiled to better illustrate the logical flow of Void Flight Tickets.

Use Case 1 - Void a single flight ticket

This use case is based on a reservation (PNR RECLOC: BYOKLY) for one traveler. The segment was booked as traditional Sabre air content:

*BYOKLY*IA«

                                               /DCUA*HBMER8 /E  

The ticket was issued without any additional documents:

*BYOKLY*T«

  2.TE 0167497725933-AT CANCE/J G7RE*APP 0445/11AUG*            

To execute the void flight ticket operation, determine the desired document number.

For example, the request to void the document could be:

The response does not contain errors:

The reservation was updated and the ticket voided:

*BYOKLY*T«

Use Case 2 - Void a single flight ticket and a miscellaneous document (EMD)

This use case is based on a reservation (PNR RECLOC: BZHDUU) for one traveler. The segments were booked as traditional Sabre air content:

*BZHDUU*I*AE*T«

As we can see, there were two documents issued; a flight ticket and an EMD.

To void both documents, the request to Void Flight Tickets should be:

No errors are returned in the response:

The reservation was updated as expected:

Use Case 3 - Void multiple documents

Below is an example of a simple round-trip air itinerary (PNR RECLOC: BXMHJB). These segments are booked as traditional Sabre air content:

*IA«

To execute the void flight ticket operation, determine the desired document numbers.

For example, the request to void all documents could be:

The application will now validate the details of each document and reorder them to create context-related buckets:

• Bucket 1:
  • Ticket: 0727497725931
  • EMD associated with the ticket: 0724577562224
• Bucket 2:
  • Ticket: 0727497725932
  • EMD associated with the ticket: 0724577562475

The documents will be voided in the above order, which might differ from the order sent in the request.

Caution! The error handling policy HALT_ON_ERROR will stop the flow at any point where an error occurs. As the void operation is irreversible, previously processed documents might be voided already.

After the successful void transactions, the reservation will be updated accordingly:

Use Case 4 - Coupon validation fails (negative scenario)

This use case will illustrate the application behavior when errors occur. The following scenario is given:

Both documents are voided already and we can assume that coupon validation will fail in the Void Flight Tickets flow.

Default "errorHandlingPolicy": "HALT_ON_ERROR"

The request is:

In this case, the application will stop when the first error occurs. In our case, the coupon validation fails and is received in the response:

"errorHandlingPolicy": "ALLOW_PARTIAL_CANCEL"

Overriding the default errorHandlingPolicy means that the application can accept the error. Errors will be returned as a warning.

For example, the request is:

As we see in the response, the application validated both documents:

Use Case 5 - Sign the change with a specific value (receivedFrom option)

This use case can be considered an extension of all the use cases above. The following scenario is given:
