Introduction to SIS (General Webcast)
“Integrated Settlement” is based on the principles of completely paperless billing, invoicing, and settlement Benefits include: Data quality improvements to the billed carrier Billing carrier’s upload format doesn’t impact billed carrier’s download format Reduction in paper and courier fees and internal supply chain (paper handling) costs Automation & Optional Services Quicker cash flow due to reduced rejection timeframes ‘Airline Profile’ to be a centralized database for all IS options and permissions IS features discussed are subject to change Some basic background in case the General webcast hasn’t been viewed SIS – Materials – Pax Prime Billing Webcast August 2008

Non-core Functionality
Core functionality of SIS enables paperless billing and settlement. The non-core functionality is considered by the SIS Working Groups to be “value-added services”; its final inclusion is dependent upon implementation costs and airline demand and will likely be billed to carriers separately, based on usage. Non-core functionality includes (but is not limited to): Time of Sales Processes Some file formats for some processes Sampling-specific functionality for processes other than Provisional Billing and Rejections (Sampling over general IS processes is “core”) Non-core functionality is coloured orange on the following pages SIS – Materials – Pax Prime Billing Webcast August 2008
