OrderChange 17.2

 

Functional Description - Release 2024.04

 

OrderChange allows payment and servicing of an existing Order.

The Order can be:

  • Unpaid (booked and On Hold)

  • Paid for (issued but no services used)

  • Partially used (some of the services used some not)

Whenever servicing an existing Order, an OrderRetrieve should always be done before using this service. This ensures you have the latest version of the Order, which could have changed.

The Order Change API currently supports the following types of changes:

Payment

Pay for services in a previously created Order that is held with a PaymentTimeLimit. Orders on Hold with ancillaries have to be paid for in full (all OrderItems) with this service.

The following payment methods can be used depending on the type of Seller (IATA or Non IATA) and the Market

  • Cash (no need to specify payer)

  • Credit Card (with 3-Domain Secure payment if required by the card in the Market)

  • To pay for an order by Credit Card installments where allowed

  • Voucher (see Voucher section below)

    • To pay the complete cost of a previously created Order with an Iberia Voucher.

  • Voucher and Cash combined

    • To pay the cost of an Order (with or without Ancillaries) with an Iberia Voucher and Cash.

    • If the value of the Voucher is zero then an error will be returned. If the value of the Voucher is less than the total cost of the Order then the difference will be charged in Cash. The amount charged against each FOP (Cash & Voucher) will be returned in the OrderViewRS.
