Procedure
The endorsements element (FE) is used to identify any restrictions, airline comments, or rules that may apply to a ticket. The endorsement is printed on the ticket in the endorsement box.
The endorsement element can be:
Automatically created by the fare server
Or:Manually entered by the agent
It consists of free-flow text, with a maximum of 123 characters, excluding passenger type, passenger association and segment association. However, the number of characters printed on the ticket depends on the ticket type and the specific market.
To add an endorsement element in cryptic, enter:
FE PAX NOT REFUNDABLE/P1/S3-4
| Entry | Description |
|---|---|
FE | Transaction code |
PAX | Passenger type, -PAX or -INF (optional) |
NOT REFUNDABLE | Free-flow text, maximum 123 characters |
/P1/S3-4 | Slash, passenger and segment association (optional) |
To add an endorsement element in graphic mode, display the TST and enter the information in the Endorsement/Restrictions field.

If you enter a manual FE element and then price the itinerary, an automatic FE element, will override the manually entered FE element and be printed on the ticket. If you enter a manual FE element after pricing the itinerary, the manual FE element will be printed on the ticket. Manually entered FE elements are indicated by *M* after the FE element identifier in the PNR.
This behavior is different depending on the setting of the RMF field. For example, if the RMF field is set to Yes, a manual FE element is retained if it exists, even if a fare quote returns an automatic endorsement. Enter GGASKPRORMT for more information.
The most frequent endorsements and restrictions are:
NOT REFUNDABLE
NOT ENDORSABLE
NOT REROUTABLE
REFUNDABLE ONLY TO
RESERVATION REQUESTS/WAITLISTED FLIGHTS
FARE SUBJECT TO GOVERNMENT APPROVAL
VALIDITY OR TRAVEL RESTRICTIONS
CERTIFICATE NUMBERS (IF AIRLINE ADVISES)
Note: For Travel agents reporting to the Area Reporting Plan (ARC), the Endorsement field in the IAR is not a modifiable field. Verify that the information required by the carrier is shown in this field in Amadeus before you complete a reservation. After the ticket has gone into IAR, changes to this field cannot be made. Keep this in mind when issuing tickets, to reduce the chance of incurring debit memos.
Enter HE FE for more information.
