What is an EMD?
An Electronic Miscellaneous Document (EMD) allows you to sell and track the usage of
charges be that for example a penalty change fee, a residual value or excess baggage and
so on where an airline permits.
• Accept payment for various types of services including air transportation, group
deposits, rebooking fees and other charges.
• Issue an electronic document and print it on blank paper (depending on your profiles
settings)
The initial launch of EMDs will permit the issuance of what is known as Standalone EMDs
(EMD-S).
To create a chargeable service or fee for which you wish to issue an EMD-S you would need

to enter a Manual Auxiliary Segment (SVC) into the booking. A manual Transitional Stored
Miscellaneous Document with a Pricing Quotation Record (TSM-P) would then be created
including items such as reasons for issuance and reason for issuance sub codes, amounts
and form of payment details before issuing the EMD-S.

A Reason for Issuance Code (RFIC) defines which group of services an EMD belongs to.
These are compliant with the IATA standard. Some RFICs have been defined by IATA
(International Air Transport Association), others can be used and defined by the airlines.
An RFIC can have multiple Reasons for Issuance Sub Codes (RFISCs). RFISCs are airline
specific.
For example an EMD could be issued for additional baggage for a passenger to take golf
equipment. The Reason for Issuance Code on the EMD would represent ‘baggage’ whereas
the Reason for issuance Sub Code would then indicate further that this was specifically for
‘golfing equipment’.
In this example using the table below the RFIC for Baggage would be C. The RFISC for
Golfing equipment would be 99O (as defined by the airline)
The RFICs and the RFISCs are managed by Amadeus for the airlines in a Service
Preference Table.
The Service Preference Table drives EMD functionality at Reason for Issuance Code Level.
By reading any associated restrictions placed by the airlines against the RFIC it will then
determine the type of transaction which can be performed on an EMD. For example if the
EMD can be refunded or reissued.
When you create a Transitional Stored Miscellaneous (TSM) document for an EMD, the
system creates this as a type P (Pricing Quotation Record) TSM also called a TSM-P. The
© 2012 Amadeus Marketing (UK) Ltd
RFIC and RFISCs and their descriptions are automatically filled in the TSM-P.
All services contained in an EMD belong to the same reason for issuance code.
An EMD may contain only one RFIC but several RFISCs for different services or fees. Each
EMD coupon is based on the RFISC.

An EMD may contain up to 16 coupons, where up to four coupons can have the same EMD
number. If an EMD contains more than four coupons, a conjunction EMD will be issued (up
to four document numbers).
• RFIC (belongs to the same RFIC as all the coupons of the EMD)
• Coupon status (O for Open, F for Flown/Used, R for Refunded, V for Voided, and so
on). For more information on EMD coupon status enter HE EMD then GPEDI in
Selling Platform.
When you issue an EMD, the following coupons can be printed on a broadcast printer,
depending on your office settings:
1. A list of airlines which have opened their EMD to Amadeus Travel Agencies in a
given country.
3. A list of services proposed by an airline and the characteristics for the service.
1. Travel agents can now get a list of airlines that have opened their EMD in a given country.

Booking Method : SSR requires a service to be created using the SR entry which is then
priced. This will create an associated EMD (EMD-A) which no carrier currently uses.
Booking Method; SVC requires the manual creation of an EMD using the IU entry. This will
create a standalone EMD (EMD-S).
**NB : Please note although a service may appear in a list this does not necessarily
mean the airline offers this service using EMD on Amadeus.** Please only use
services confirmed by airlines as if you use any other services in the list you may
receive ADM’s**
