GBO VERSION 4.0 BUG CORRECTIONS

Bug #1 –Agency wanted credit card expiry date to show on the invoice. Providing this kind of information for ‘all to see’ would provide sufficient information to commit fraud immediately. The key identifier for a credit card is the expiry date. The script currently outputs all required information.

No change made.

Bug #2 -Unable to overwrite “apply comm GST to ‘N’. It was defaulted to ‘Y’.

Corrected.

GBO VERSION 4.0 ENHANCEMENTS

#1Request to interface the amount of the discounted cc sale to GBO while still showing the discount on the invoice

  • A “discounted” credit card payment will NOT result in a refund being generated to the client in GBO … the script outputs a /D99999.99 entry on the T-MS line which will “force” the cc amount to be the discounted amount in GBO while showing the discount on the invoice.
  • No changes made

#2 –Request for an additional tax line (to show children’s taxes)

This would mean a major rewrite of related scripts in the program (Non-BSP sale, Commissionable and Net Sale).

No change made at this time. Held on the List of Enhancements.

#3 – On Add Comments/End PNR option, user should be able to choose whether remarks should be Associated or Unassociated.

This will require a major re-write of this option. No change at this time.

Held on the List of Enhancements

#4 – Option to NOT show payment for credit card sales. The Net Sale, Commissionable Sale, Final payment and Refund payment scripts have

ALL be changed to allow the agent to NOT print any form of payment, if required.

#5 – Request that the script will output so that the discount shows on the invoice, but sends the full published fare to accounting. Agency wished to write off the discounted amount to track the annual value.

GBO is not set up to record “discounts” in the manner suggested … the script will accurately show both the Published and selling fare (in the case of a discounted sale) …

Solution – there are custom reports available that will show the discounted totals of sales. Also, by writing off a discount to a GL account will result in inaccurate agent commission calculations

No changes made. …

#6The new version of GBO allowed the separate amounts of the BSP

Penalty and relating tax to be shown.

The BSP Exchange script will now output a separate T- line for the penalty and taxes as follows:

Example – a penalty of $100.00 plus $7.00 GST will now output on the PNR as

T-PN/100.00

T-PNX/7.00XG

#7 – Request to be able to enter either Postal Code or ZIP Code

The screen has been re-designed to allow for this additional option.

Also, took away the “controls” on the mailing address … the agent can now enter all or part of the mailing address.

# 8 Request to be able to overwrite the ‘Discount’ Description in the Commissionable Sale script.

A new separate Consolidator script is being written which will fulfil the requirements when issuing an invoice to the client agency.

Other Enhancement:Changed the Credit Card number entry in the Net Sale, Comm sale, Transaction Fee, Refund and Final payment scripts … the user can now enter anything they wish, i.e. VI1111111, OR VISA or CREDIT CARD.
