2. Talk to your partners 100 airlines in this room
You interline with others that aren’t here today
We’ll be contacting them, but you also need to tell them to start preparing now

3. SIS is an RA invoicing platform
SIS ≠ Revenue Accounting System
SIS ≠ ICH
SIS ≠ Revenue Accounting Manual
SIS ≠ ACH Manual
SIS ≠ UATP Rules
SIS supports and transports these types of billings, but we don’t make the rules

5. Supporting Document Storage
IS will store supporting documents for operational reasons only
As long as something could be acted upon (ie, rejected), the supporting documents will be stored in IS
(E.g. Rejections)
6 month rejection period + 2 month buffer = 8 months of storage
1st rejection on 1 Jan  supporting docs deleted in August
Unless there is a 2nd rejection (e.g. 1 March)  8 month storage resets and supporting docs will be deleted in October

6. Sending claims (ICH F12 or ACH Recap)
IS will submit a claim on your behalf for all IS billings (to ICH or ACH)
This applies to IS-WEB submissions even if you’re not fully migrated
 Do not submit duplicate claims

7. Validation & Submission Time limits
File validation will take up to four hours (two on average)
It is OK to submit a file right before the submission deadline (e.g. 5pm YMQ time) – even if file validation isn’t completed until later
 But be aware of validation failures – you will not have an opportunity to correct errors after the deadline (and thus no settlement that period)

8. Supporting Info ≠ Supporting Docs
Supporting documents are files like scanned images
Supporting info can be data. E.g.
A list of coupons (coupon breakdown) on a rejection memo
Prorate ladder text
Supporting info includes supporting documents, but you have to remember that just because data is required, that data doesn’t need to be attached as a supporting document
SIS will validate supporting data to a certain extent, but not supporting document

9. Connectivity Testing of IDEC file
If you use iiNet, you will not need to test connectivity for your old IDEC file
(You will still need to test connectivity for any IS-IDEC or IS-XML files you will upload)

10. Cost for recertification
If you do not pass during the free certification slots (2 or 3 as discussed yesterday), you still need to certify your file and will have to pay extra for this
This will be based on effort (per day charge from Kale)
Typically $1500
