KUL – 20-22 Oct 2010
A13 does matter
Billings for settlement through the ICH are governed by
RAM rules
This also applies to Associate Members
Billing currency rules (Para 3)
Rejection and correspondence rules (Para 4)
No formatting is prescribed - all invoicing is assumed to
be paper

The new A13 matters even more
Specifies no paper documents
NOTE: This includes baggage claims; the paper stays in operations
Defines how invoices must be split
by Charge Category and country of service delivery/currency
Sets a time limit on original billings
Describes Settlement Method Indicators
E.g. I (ICH), B (bilateral), R (reversal after protest), etc.
Sets minimum values for both billings and rejections
Provides a 90 day transition period for sending paper invoice
copies/supporting docs to the billed airline
Use of incorrect exchange rates makes invoice invalid

A10 Rejections and Time Limits
If you receive a billing or reject through SIS, you have to reply through
SIS
You cannot drop back to paper and ICH Web
A9 Invoices and Credit Notes
After 90 days, a SIS user does not have to send paper supports
If you want to see the details, you need to download them from SIS
NOTE: There are no charges for downloading data
If you can’t convert and need original paper, you can ask for it from
the billing airline
Problem – you have to pay for shipment, and an admin fee

State of change…
This is the biggest change to hit the interline world since
the ICH started
The airlines working on it have covered almost
everything
Further refinements can be expected, particularly in A13
