An agent may assign a system provider (global distribution provider, or GDS) access to a memo when they need the GDS to support a dispute against a memo or if they believe the GDS should take responsibility for the resolution of a memo. If a GDS subscribes to Memo Manager, agents can grant them access to view the memo, add correspondence or attach supporting documentation. Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport are currently GDS subscribers. To grant access to a specific memo, simply scroll to the “GDS Access” section, select the GDS, and the “Add” link.
When granting a GDS access to a memo, the associated ticket information must be included. The ticket information is shown in the memo's “Ticket Information” section on the “Memo Details” tab.
Please note: If the ticket information is blank, the GDS will not be able to view the memo, even if they have access.
Agents under the Travelport umbrella (i.e., Apollo, Galileo, or Worldspan) should make sure they assign their memos to the correct Travelport GDS. If a memo is assigned incorrectly, it will not be reviewed since the GDSs do not have access to each other’s ticketing information.
