Source Ref

String

Unique Booking Reference from the client’s source system

If the External Matching Ref (below) is NOT present, ‘Source Ref’ is the matching key for the Booking.

As per the current Voyager system, if there is already a Booking in the system with this same Source Ref value that is NOT already Cancelled, this message will be treated as an Update (plus see Enrichment for the ‘Booking Change’ section below)

Otherwise this API message will be treated as a NEW Booking.

Mandatory

Source Ref is missing

External Matching Ref

String

Another unique Booking Reference from the client’s source system which they use for their external matching & external communications (if different from their source ref). This is here to support existing bookings being received from other clients.

If present, ‘External Matching Ref’ is assumed to be the matching key for this Booking (to support current implementations).

As per the current Voyager system, if this value is populated and if there is already a Booking in the system with this same External Matching Ref value that is NOT already Cancelled, this message will be treated as an Update (plus see Enrichment for the ‘Booking Change’ section below)

Otherwise this API message will be treated as a NEW Booking.
