Introduction – What is EMD?• The IATA board has set a mandate for 100% Industry capability to issue
Electronic Miscellaneous Documents (EMD’s) by the end of 2013.
• Efficiencies and cost savings will be gained by the replacement of paper documents such as MCOs, Special Service Tickets, Tour Orders and Excess Baggage Tickets.
• Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) functionality is the IATA industry standard method for the issuance, management and fulfilment for ancillary services, such as seats, baggage fees, lounge access.
• EMD functionality allows airlines to process payments more efficiently and more cost effectively for ancillaries. As airlines make these available to sell via a GDS, travel agents will be able to accept payment directly and issue EMDs for settlement through BSP and ARC.

What are the different EMD types?• EMD-A (Associated) - will be used for flight related services i.e.
seats, bags, meals - associated directly with a specific flight segment. This will be linked to the specific Electronic Ticket flight coupon in the airline’s ET database.
• EMD-S (Stand Alone) - can be used for any service or fee, i.e. lounge access, change / rebooking fees, group deposits; - items that are not tied or directly related to a specific flight segment.
• EMD-S may be issued for non-flight related services. Airlines may also opt to fulfil flight related services on an EMD-S initially.

EMD-S Issuance – Step by Step ProcessTo issue, void and refund (where applicable) an Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD-S) is a very simple process.
Three steps to issue an EMD-S:1. Basic PNR built/Ticket Issued (not applicable to group deposits)2. Special Services Requirement (SSR) or SVC segment3. Issuance of EMD

EMD-S Issuance – Step by Step Process
2. Create SVC segment
• Before proceed with the issuance of an EMD-S, a manually created SVC segment must be created in the PNR.
• Change fees are initially being introduced by airlines such as Finnair(AY) & British Airways (BA), however more airlines are expected to come on board in the future. The actual services that will be charged to an EMD will be dependent on each airlines own requirements.
• An example of how an agent enters the SVC segment is outlined below:
