3 1. Introduction to the SIS Change Management Process All enhancements to SIS are subject to the SIS Change Management Process. SIS enhancements can be requested by any SIS member via at or via Helpdesk by setting the Case Classification field as New Feature or Enhancement to Existing Feature. There are two SIS Major Releases scheduled per year. The SIS Steering Group reviews and prioritizes the enhancements to be included in each Major Release. 2. Open Change Requests in SIS The following table lists all open Change Requests raised by members. The Requirement Status column shows the status of the requirements. A requirement status of Pending means the item is still under discussion with the vendor or relevant Working Group. Requirement status key:, will be implemented in a future release in progress In discussion with the vendor / Working Group On Hold Relevant working group opted to put the change request On Hold for an indefinite period Pending WG Review Awaiting discussion with the relevant Working Group Page 3 of 7

4 CMP No. Subject Billing Cat Status Description 410 Multi-Client capability of SIS and IS-WEB Allows a single user to have access to multiple members accounts in SIS Payment of bilateral invoices through ICH IS-WEB: Member/Contact Report - Templates and ability to create and save reports Provide the option of settling bilateral invoices through the ICH. Allow a member to create report templates for the Member / Contact reports. 550 Add "Included in VAT" breakdown to invoice layout Add an option to display the various components of the Gross VAT on the PDF invoice. For example, in the event that the VAT on Gross Amount totals to 2100 USD, there should be a function to show that 180 USD of the 2100 USD is related to the VAT on ISC at rate X, but that it has already been included in the specified Gross VAT (not a separate entry in the VAT breakdown). 555 Request for a charge code report Adds a column for Charge Code to the Receivables and Payables report. 562 Contact types should be expanded to include the different invoice Charge Category / Charge Code combinations Today in, an organization may handle different invoice types (i.e. Ground Handling, Partner Alliance, etc.) at different locations. This change request would add additional contact fields to support this scenario (user can define contact for each type of invoice). 563 SIS to accept Cyrillic characters Allows Cyrillic characters to be submitted to and accepted by SIS. 646 ICH Member profile changes The ICH / ACH Membership Status needs to be modified to include a "pending" status which is an intermediate option level that may help the respective CHs to record preliminary requirements for finalization of their membership process, as well as setting member Entry Date with immediate effect or with effect from a future period. Also for ICH, the Suspension Defaulting period should be added to the Member Profile XML. 654 Miscellaneous issue date validation in progress This CMP proposes to implement a validation on invoice date field of Miscellaneous invoices.

5 656 New Miscellaneous Bilateral invoice dispute Management Many members have reported that the current Rejection process in SIS is not relevant to bilateral invoices. If they are incorrectly billed by a supplier then they do not pay the invoice but write back to the supplier to issue a correct invoice. The new mechanism enables a direct correspondence process to start after the original invoice is received. The rejection option will also be available if the airline chooses to use it 669 Miscellaneous - CSV outputs to be added to OAR's in Progress Current outputs are in PDF format for Miscellaneous billing category. The requirement is to also have it in csv format. 677 A13 changes as per IBSOPS GM in Sept 2016 IBSOPS GM Agenda items P17 + SUP3 + SUP4 Finalized This CMP introduces new Charge Codes of Hotel, Limousine, Trucking, Pass and ID, FastTrack, Space Rental for miscellaneous invoices; also it proposes new Mandatory/Recommended/Optional fields for some of these Charge Codes. 688 VAT or TAX rate control in tax node / UATP There are some cases where a member provides just the tax amount but does not mention the tax rate. This introduces a new validation rule that ensures that Tax/VAT Base Amount, Percentage and Tax Amount fields are provided. 693 VAT node at line item Level If tax information is provided at the line item detail, it does not get aggregated at the line item level in the output files from SIS. So members have to build a computation logic in their system. This change will allow the aggregation at SIS so that members can directly post this information. Currently, the system does not perform any validations on Reference Field 1 or Reference Field 2 in EMD rejections. 694 RFIC/RFISC details are mandatory for EMD rejections - IBSOPS GM Agenda item P12 This CMP enforces that these fields are provided with valid RFIC/RFISC values in the coupon of the rejecting RM. At the RM coupon breakdown level, the system does not know whether the rejected coupon is an EMD. Therefore an indication will be implemented in coupons which when rejected would let the system know that the rejected coupon is an EMD. Page 5 of 7

6 697 Mandatory Reason text for /CGO in stage 1 rejections - IBSOPS GM Agenda item P10 / CGO This CMP proposes to implement a new validation on field Reason Text of RM Stage 1 to have minimum number of characters. (similar to Stage 2 and 3 RMs) 698 Provision of dedicated source codes for Billing Memo rejections - IBSOPS GM Supplementary Paper 1 Source codes 74 (1 st Stage), 75 (2 nd stage) and 76 (3 rd stage) has been assigned for rejections of Billing Memos. 699 Provision of dedicated source codes for billing of exchanges and refunds on frequent flyer coupons - IBSOPS GM Supplementary 2 This CMP will introduce two new Source Codes of 95 for Exchanged Frequent Flyer Coupons and 96 for Refunded Frequent Flyer Coupons. 700 Full or Partial Authority to Bill indicator in Correspondence screen SISGM Agenda item S2 / CGO/ Currently if an Authority to Bill is granted for a correspondence by the Non-Initiating Member, the system does not maintain any flag indicating whether it was given for the full or partial amount. This CMP proposes to implement an option for Full or Partial Authority to Bill Indicator in Correspondences. This will help Members to search for correspondences accordingly; and also view more precise information regarding the Authority to Bill received or granted 701 Restriction on Multiple Sampling Form Cs within the same Provisional Billing Month - SISGM Agenda item S3 Currently airlines are facing issues when more than one Form C is provided by the Billed Member of the Form A/B for a Provisional Billing Month. This CMP introduces a new validation to restrict more than One Sampling Form C within the same Provisional Billing Month. 702 Formatting Options in Correspondence Screen - SISGM Agenda item S4 / CGO/ Currently, it is not possible to format the text while creating or replying to a Correspondence. This CMP Proposes an option to enhance the format of Correspondence Text field. 703 Changes to run Interline Billing Summary Report for 12 months at a time - SISGM Agenda item S9 This CMP adds an option to display Interline Billing Summary Report for 12 months.
