Customer Identification

To enable: Tools → Company Settings → 'Settings' tab → 'Customer Settings' item check 'CustomerIdentification' control

Customer Identification pops-up automatically when the passengers with common names have already bought trips and their profiles already exist in Travelwise and can be picked for a new Order creation.
This saves much time and prevents from 'double' customer creation.

If this function is disabled and customer is uncertain from a PNR text, 'Search Customers' form becomes opened to define a customer for the newly created Order.

Conditions To Get 'Customer Identification'

  1. Missing customer information in a PNR.
  2. Customer with such ID does not exist in the program (see 'Customer ID' field at customer profile).
  3. Customer with the same name (as the passenger's from a PNR) already exists in the program.

Examples of 'Customer ID' text in PNRs from different GDSs:

  • Amadeus - data from the field 'Amadeus Office ID of current owner of PNR':
