01
Agency credit and financial limits
Agency credit needs to be checked against the applicable balance and policy before the booking is treated as financially cleared.
FINANCE & AGENCY CREDIT
Travel sales need financial clarity.
Keep agency credit, transaction posting, invoice states and cancellation outcomes tied to the reservation events that create them.

CAPABILITIES
Capabilities that solve day-to-day travel operations
02
Transaction-linked finance records
Transaction history should correspond to the reservation so operations can follow credit deduction, release and collection.
03
Invoice and credit-note workflows
Where an invoiced booking is adjusted, a linked credit note preserves the original invoice rather than rewriting its history.
04
Cancellation penalties and settlement
Penalty and entitlement calculations need to match the cancellation scope and the original booking context.
05
Refund versus credit-release distinction
A customer may have commercial refund entitlement without having actually paid that amount. Wallet release and cash refund are different events.
06
Operational visibility of reconciliation states
Reconciliation states help finance teams distinguish settled bookings, refunds pending and cases requiring follow-up.

BUSINESS VALUE
The operating outcome we focus on
The goal is fewer gaps between what agencies see, what suppliers can confirm, and what operations and finance must record. A connected product-to-booking lifecycle matters more than an isolated screen.
- Agency credit and financial limits
- Transaction-linked finance records
- Invoice and credit-note workflows
- Cancellation penalties and settlement
QUESTIONS
Useful questions, clear answers
Is commercial refund the same as money returned?+
Not always. Refund entitlement, wallet credit release and actual cash refund are distinct and must reflect what was collected and posted.
