Pay Suppliers Enhancements

Softrip has made many changes to the Pay Suppliers screen within this release. We did our own internal testing of this screen and found many areas that were inconsistent with how the forms and grids all interacted, as well as many defects reported recently by a variety of customers. Softrip went through a large revamp of this screen to clean this process up and make sure all user interactions and automatic interactions are working as expected. We tested over 35 use cases of the various processes and searches within the screen to be sure that these processes are now working as expected.

Why it’s important:

Paying Suppliers is one of the main functions of the Softrip Accounting system. By improving the quality of this screen, it will help efficiencies and frustrations within the accounting departments.

Who it affects:

• Anyone using Accounting Next → Pay Suppliers

Added Brand and Currency filter to Product Search

Softrip has added new filters to the Product Search screen for Brand and Currency. This is to allow for filtering based on these 2 fields so that the user can search for only specific Products relevant to the selected Brand and Currency. The logic of how it will default and how it will display is outlined below:

• If making a New Reservation

  • Filters will default based on the current brand/currency set on the session

  • If no session values are set, default to 1st option in each dropdown

  • If External User

    • Hide the Brand/Currency selection completely as they are logged in to a specific brand and we don’t want them to see the list of other brands

• If modifying an Existing Reservation

  • Filters will default based on the cart/reservation’s values

  • Dropdowns will be disabled/read-only so the user cannot change them on an existing reservation

  • If External User

    • Hide the Brand/Currency selection completely as they are logged in to a specific brand and we don’t want them to see the list of other brands

Why it’s important:

This allows for operators with more than 1 brand to filter down the results based on the brand and/or currency that they are trying to make a sale in. This is especially important in the case where the Product is set to sell at different currencies to be sure that the search results include the pricing for the correct currency.

NDC Fares in Reservations Next

Added support for shopping and booking NDC Fares for both Amadeus and Sabre within Reservations Next. This includes displaying an NDC logo within the air results and cart of a reservation, as well as a confirmation popup requiring the user to confirm that they are booking an NDC airfare option.

Why it’s important:

• Keeps Softrip and their customers up to date on the competitive rates and nature of air
