      • If there’s no corresponding command, the PNR will go to the error queue. 

      • Add  the UPDATE command (noted above) and then an Override command.

      • If previous overrides are still in the booking, remove them

      Passive Segments (when hotel is not booked via the GDS)   

      • Confirmation can be any combination of letters or numbers.

      • The Passive formats below, only need to be used if the CREATE does not work
      • When the PASSIVE command is used, we do not look at the hotel segment in the GDS, so all other remarks below are required - FAX, CHECKIN, CHECKOUT, TOTAL.
