Seller Follow-up Actions

Overview

When an airline informs seller about a particular change to the Order via OrderChangeNotifRQ, there may or may not be seller follow-up actions that the airline wants the seller to perform. 

If there are no seller follow-up actions that the airline wants the seller to perform, then no seller follow up actions will be return in the OrderChangeNotifRQ. 

If the airline expects the seller to perform at least one follow-up action, this is sent via the OrderChangeNotifRQ and may also include:

  • the time limit by which it expects such action from the seller;

  • the consequence of not performing such action;

  • a weblink for more information regarding the follow up action and how to contact the airline.

If there are any pending follow-action(s) to be performed by the seller, these actions details will be return in the OrderViewRS.

Following are seller follow-up actions and their expectations from an airline point of view:
