Prerequisites:
• Airline tickets must be purchased from an approved Vendor (Global or Local).
• Proflight details must be recorded in IGATOR.
• TA – Travel Authorization (field missions)/ TR – Travel Request (HQ)/ LOI – Letter of Invitation
(non-IOM staff) must be signed and approved.
• Within the Staff passenger type, IGATOR includes 9 different Staff ticket types, selected depending
on the purpose of travel (Trip Schema): Staff TDY, Education Grant, Home Leave,
Transfer/Appointment, Repatriation Admin/ OPS, Medical Travel HI/ MSP, Rest and Recuperation.
With the range of staff ticket types, it is critical to select the correct one as each item is transmitted
as a corresponding material type in PRISM.
• The difference between passenger types Staff-Consultant and Non-IOM Staff Project Funded is
that the latter has no contract signed with IOM and the duty travel is supported by the LOI.
• The costs for the ticket type Private-Staff Family Member will be charged directly to staff and
posted to the staff member’s personal vendor account in PRISM. This ticket type has been included
in the Trip Schema for cases of family members accompanying staff on duty travels. As a general
rule, the negotiated IOM fares shall not be used for private travels. Please refer to the Movement
Management Manual ( Chapter 1: 1.5.4.2 Eligibility for IOM fares

d. Staff-Consultants
• This type of passengers encompasses non-Migrant and non-IOM Staff such as country or
organization officials, experts, consultants etc. who has an agreement signed with IOM and
whose travel is arranged by IOM.
• Travel authorization number (TA) is compulsory information for validating the TOR prior to its
transmission to PRISM.
• PF Information and Passenger Details for Staff-Consultants are captured directly in iGATOR.
e. Non-IOM Staff Project Funded
• This type of passengers encompasses non-Migrant and non-IOM Staff such as country or
organization officials, dignitaries, experts, consultants etc. whose travel is arranged by IOM.
• Letter of Invitation number (LOI) is compulsory information for validating the TOR prior to its
transmission to PRISM.
• PF Information and Passenger Details for Non-IOM Staff Project Funded are captured directly in
iGATOR.
f. Private-Staff Family Member
• This type of passengers includes Family Members accompanying IOM Staff on Duty Travels
whose travel is arranged by IOM.
• The incurred ticket costs will be charged directly to the Staff Member’s PRISM account and
further deducted from the salary.
• PF Information and Passenger Details for Private-Staff Family Members are captured directly in
iGATOR.
g. For All Ticket types, if the air travel expense is to be charged to multiple Project Budget Lines, the
iGATOR user is responsible for recording in the PF/TOR the multiple WBS and for allocating the
percentage for each one accordingly.

21. Once the Ticket has been Cancelled in IGATOR by means of any Unused Ticket or Void amendments
and the amendment has been saved and transmitted to PRISM, it is no longer possible to use the same
ticket. Users must return the ticket to the vendor for a refund if applicable and purchase a new ticket
for the passenger which requires the creation of a new TOR.
In the event that flight itinerary has changed, user actions are as follows:
a. Edit PF record (IGATOR or MIMOSA) to include the new leg(s) with the new flight(s) and departure
date(s).
b. Create new TOR (PF number and Pax info will be the same) with new flight info. and to enable
smooth ticket status update at final checking.
22. The Ticket Status for MCOs defaults to Issued at the time of TOR creation and must be updated to Used
in order to trigger Goods Receipt in PRISM.
23. For Local air ticket Invoice payments, the Ticket Status should be updated from Issued to Used within 3
working days of the departure being confirmed, even if the vendor invoice has not yet been received.
For internal control purposes, should any deviation occur between the TOR ticket fare / tax amount
and the Invoice cost, the difference will first have to be authorized by the Operations staff before
Finance staff can make the necessary adjustment entry in PRISM and thus pay the vendor the
difference. To avoid this extra step, Operations staff are encouraged to review their processes with the
airlines to ensure that the correct fares and taxes are provided at the time of ticket issuance for entry
into iGATOR.
The same applies to open return trip tickets, Ticket Status should be updated from “Issued” to “Used”
at the time of the outbound departure and in case the return portion would need to be re-validated at
a later stage with penalty fees, the surcharge amount should be posted directly into PRISM as
unrecoverable costs.

Important for Finance Staff, there remains two exceptions where posting will not be directly to the
appropriate GL account but will be posted to the suspense GL account 210120. These postings still require
manual clearance by finance staff prior to closing the accounts for the month:
1. When Staff Ticket “Unknown” is used in iGATOR - typically, this should only occur when the Ticket
Type field has not been properly selected in the TA Form.
2. When Private Travel deviations are involved, the amount relating to the Private deviation will be
posted to GL 210120 for clearance to the Staff Vendor account.
If any problems arise with the implementation of this change or if you have any queries, please feel free to
contact Willem von Bratt in ACO.
Note for iGATOR users a separate alert and instructions will follow shortly.

Date:
To: Movement and movement-related operational staff of IOM worldwide
2 June 2006
The purpose of this directive is to inform all missions about the procedure to request credit notes if a
movement is cancelled (whether it has been completed or partially completed).
PAPER TICKET REFUND PROCEDURE
• If paper tickets are issued a refund request must be done in writing by the mission to the carrier or
through RMM (in this case, kindly send a email to Virginia Rault, vrault@iom.int).
• Before returning a paper ticket to the airline or to RMM for refund, please follow the below steps:
1. Check if the ticket has a refund value.
2. Check the refund deadline and ensure the ticket is sent back in due time.
• Prepare a summary list including the below information:
1. Ticket number (s)
2. Passenger (s) name
3. Routing
4. Pro-flight number
• Information related to the refund value/deadline can be found under the HIT.
• Status of the pending credit note can be checked through Gator.
• Pending = credit note not received yet
• Reimbursed = AIS has processed the reimbursement
A regular follow-up of the status of pending refund remains under the sole responsibility of the Mission until
the matter is finalized and IOM is duly credited.

Subject: Unreceived Airlines invoices & credit notes in iGATOR Related HIT Chapter:
Date:
To: Movement and movement-related operational staff of IOM worldwide
08 July 2020
The purpose of this circular is to inform missions that Airline Invoices Settlement Section (AISS) is currently
addressing the issue of unreceived /outstanding invoices and credit notes in the system and to request
missions’ attention to address any query received from AIS to facilitate the clearing process.
AISS needs the requested data on their query from the field missons in order to perform the clearing of
TORs/POs in the system.
Also we would like to remind colleagues in field offices that it is mandatory to enter accurate TICKET NUMBERs
in iGATOR once cancellation amended is created in iGATOR. The main concern is that many of our Airline
Partners request for ticket numbers when the AISS follows up with credit notes. AISS only source of
information is from TOR data in iGATOR”
1. The Credit Note is generated by the system and is only applicable to the following refundable
amendment types:
• Used Partially Refunded.
• Unused Fully Refunded.
• Unused Fully Refunded with Penalty.
• Unused Partially Refunded
Steps (mandatory fields are marked with an asterisk):
1. Click on Manage TOR App from the iGATOR Homepage.
3. Click on the TOR line in the search result table to access the TOR details page
4. Click on Amend to proceed with Amendments. Use Mass Action to apply Amendment to all selected
passengers.
6. The system updates the TOR Details page, defaulted to passenger information. The ticket status, sub-
total and total amounts, History and Credit Note icons update automatically.
7. The information under the History icon gets updated once any type of Amendment action has been
applied/saved. The system outlines new values of amended fields.
9. Upon saving the refundable amendment, the line item Delivered (Goods Receipt posted) in the PRISM
Purchase Order (PO) is automatically updated and the Credit Note line item is created.

Subject: Temporary adjustment in iGator amendment processing during Related HIT Chapter:
COVID-19 General application
Date:
To: Movement and movement-related operational staff of IOM worldwide
15 April 2020
The purpose of this Circular is to inform missions about the temporary adjustment in iGator amendment
processing due to the current COVID-19 crisis.
Although the COVID-19 public health emergency has had an unprecedented impact on air travel, the
airlines’ obligation to refund passengers for cancelled flights remains unchanged. Unfortunately, most IOM
partner airlines have significantly reduced their capacities to process refunds timely given limitation due to
working from home arrangements and reduced working hours.
IOM Missions should not wait for refund amounts to be confirmed by Airlines. The refund conditions of IOM
fare tickets follow refund policies outlined in the HIT. Cancellation amendments need to be processed in
iGator and TOR status updated.
• Lack of air-transport expense commitment in PRISM Financials prevents accurate and efficient project
monitoring and inaccurate financial reports. RMM is in close contact with Partner Airlines and
monitoring further developments.
As many airlines have currently deprioritize refund processing and do not provide timely information on
refund amounts the following steps should be followed.
• Make sure to request the refund from the airline in a timely manner and to properly document the
request.
• Refunding tickets of Global agreement Airlines (see the HIT Manual):
- If cancellation is due to IOM cancelling the flight - Refer to HIT Manual for applicable penalties if
any*
- If cancellation is due to Airline cancelling the flight – Fully Refundable Cancellation Amendment
must be created
• Travel Agents (global / local) and Local airlines agreements:
- Contact Agent or airline to confirm refund value-based on ticket fare rules (which should be
known upon ticket issuance).
• Published fares issued by Global agreement Airline:
- In case a published fare has been issued by an IOM Airline Agreement Partner, please follow
fare refund rules of the applicable fare conditions. In case of doubt, please contact MOH HQ.
*We anticipate discrepancies between the projected credit amount created in iGATOR and actual credit note
amount once received from airlines due to currency fluctuation and refundable taxes. Missions can still void
the TOR and recreate in case of differences between CN projected amount and actual CN.
This action can be taken as long as invoice status in iGATOR is still “outstanding” In the case of paid invoice
status in iGATOR, no further amendments / changes can be done on the TOR. AIS Manila will get in touch
with respective missions once CNs are received to confirm discrepancies & adjust directly in PRISM.
REMINDER
For all cancellation/rebooking amendments resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, please follow the
annexed SOPs (Annex A – Setup of iGATOR Fiori tiles; Annex B - iGATOR Amendment Tracking – COVID 19)

The purpose of this directive is to inform MiMOSA and iGATOR users of the change in description of the
‘payment by’ field in i-GATOR and the ‘payment type’ field in MiMOSA for GLOBAL Agreements (invoices
settled by AIS) in order to provide consistency in both the applications.

A MiMOSA lookup table patch file including this update will be sent out by Mimosa Helpdesk team and
should be executed by each office as soon as received.
Simultaneously, the ‘payment by’ field in iGATOR will be updated from ‘Geneva – Switzerland’ to ‘AISU -

Subject: iGATOR Amendments for Global Agreements Related MMM Chapter:
To: Movement and movement-related operational staff of IOM worldwide Date: 23July 2009
The purpose of this circular is to remind missions of the importance of checking the i-GATOR TOR
“Payment Status” field prior to creating amendments for Global Agreements.
The iGATOR Version 2.0 includes a ‘Payment Status’ field when viewing TORs. AIS updates this field to
‘paid’ when an invoice for a Global Agreement vendor has been processed.
In several instances, iGATOR users create amendments, mainly ‘Voided tickets’ and ‘Change of Invoice
Vendor’ amendment types resulting in the closure of the TOR.
When the invoice is paid on the basis of the original TOR, such amendments create a conflict in the system
at the time of invoice posting. It is therefore necessary that all i-GATOR users check first the ‘Payment
Status’ field before proceeding with amendment types ‘Voided tickets’ and ‘Change of Invoice Vendor’.
If the ‘Payment Status’ field indicates ‘Paid’, you are required to co-ordinate the amendment with AIS
(ais@iom.int).
If the ‘Payment Status’ field is blank, you may proceed with the amendment.
Contact person(s):
The purpose of this Directive is to remind iGATOR users of the definition of commonly used Airline
terminology [Rebook, Reissue, Revalidate, Void, Cancel, Refund] and the corresponding action
(do’s/don’ts) required in iGATOR .
Some terms are used interchangeably by the airlines. It is therefore critical to understand the actual
scenario in order to ensure that the correct action is taken in iGATOR and to avoid double-expensing the
Projects.
