Amadeus QN & QNF Commands: Queue Navigation & Exit Guide

Q: What does the Amadeus QN command do?

The Amadeus QN command removes the current PNR from the queue and automatically displays the next PNR, keeping you in queue mode.

Q: What does the Amadeus QNF command do?

The Amadeus QNF command removes the current PNR from the queue and exits queue processing mode. It is the clean way to finish a queue session.

Q: Are QN and QNF the same as QF and QFR?

No. QF and QFR end the transaction with a save. The Amadeus QN QNF commands are designed for moving through the queue — QN continues to the next PNR, QNF exits queue mode. Neither saves changes automatically.

Q: Do QN and QNF save changes to the PNR?

No. The Amadeus QN QNF commands do not save changes. Save your edits first with ET or ER before using QN or QNF — otherwise your work will be lost.

Q: What should I use on the last item in the queue?

Use QNF . It removes the last PNR from the queue and exits queue mode cleanly. Using QN on the last item may return an error since there is no next item to display.

Amadeus QN & QNF — Move Through the Queue Correctly

A complete guide to the Amadeus QN QNF commands — how to remove the current PNR from the queue and either continue with the next item or exit queue mode entirely.

Key Takeaways

QN removes the current PNR from the queue and automatically displays the next one — you stay in queue mode.
QNF removes the current PNR and exits queue processing mode — the clean finish to a queue session.
Use QN when more items remain in the queue.
Use QNF when you reach the last item and want to leave queue mode.
Neither command saves changes automatically — use ET or ER first if you’ve made edits.
Do not confuse them with QF or QFR, which end the transaction with a save.

Efficient queue processing in Amadeus depends on two things: knowing what to do with the item in front of you, and knowing how to move on smoothly. The Amadeus QN QNF commands handle the second part. QN removes the current PNR from the queue and automatically displays the next one, letting you keep working through the queue without interruption. QNF removes the current PNR and exits queue processing mode when you are finished. This guide explains both commands, when to use each one, and how they differ from the other Amadeus queue exit commands such as QI, QIR, QF, and QFR.

What Does the Amadeus QN Command Do?

QN is the Amadeus GDS command used to remove the current PNR from the queue and automatically display the next PNR.

Category: Queue Management.

The Amadeus QN command is the “keep going” command. It removes the current PNR from the queue and pulls the next one into view, so you can keep processing items without ever leaving queue mode. It is the fastest way to work through a large queue without touching any other entries.

Move to the Next PNR:

QN

This removes the current PNR from the queue and displays the next one. You stay in queue mode, so you can continue processing items one after another without returning to a standard display.

What Does the Amadeus QNF Command Do?

The Amadeus QNF command is the “I’m done” command. It removes the current PNR from the queue and exits queue mode entirely, returning you to a normal working display. Use it when you reach the end of your queue session and want to close out cleanly.

Remove PNR and Exit Queue:

QNF

This removes the current PNR from the queue and exits queue mode. Use it when you are done with the queue and want to return to a normal working display.

Amadeus QN QNF Commands — When to Use Each One

Both parts of the Amadeus QN QNF commands remove the current PNR from the queue, but only one of them keeps you inside queue processing mode. The choice depends on whether you have more items to handle:

QN — use when you have finished processing the current PNR and want to continue with the next one.
QNF — use when you have finished with the current PNR and want to leave queue processing mode.

QN keeps you inside the queue for continuous processing; QNF closes the queue session after handling the current PNR. Using them together is the cleanest way to work a queue from start to finish.

💡 Pro Tip: Avoid Common QN/QNF Errors

Unsaved changes: QN and QNF do not save the PNR automatically. Make sure you have saved your changes (e.g., with ET or ER) before using them, or your work may be lost.
Using QN when you meant QNF: QN keeps you in queue mode and displays the next item. If you actually want to exit, use QNF. Accidentally pressing QN can leave you in a queue loop.
Queue not active: Both commands only work when you are actively processing a queue. If you get an error, check that you started the queue with QS first.
QNF on the last item: QNF exits queue mode after removing the PNR. If you use QN on the last item, the system may return an error or exit anyway — QNF is the cleaner choice when you are done.

How the Amadeus QN QNF Commands Fit Into Your Queue Workflow

A typical queue session using the Amadeus QN QNF commands might look like this:

Start queue processing and review the current message.
Use QU if you need to redisplay the queue message.
Open the PNR and take the required action.
If more items are waiting, enter QN to remove this PNR and move to the next one.
Repeat for each item in the queue.
When you reach the last item, enter QNF to remove it and exit queue mode.

Amadeus QN QNF Commands vs Other Queue Commands

The Amadeus QN QNF commands are part of a broader family of queue management entries. Here is how they relate to the others:

QN → removes the PNR and displays the next one (stay in queue).
QNF → removes the PNR and exits queue mode.
QF / QFR → end the transaction and exit queue mode (QFR also redisplays the PNR).
QE / QES → saves the transaction and moves the PNR to the bottom of the queue.
QI → ignores the PNR and exits queue mode without saving.
QIR → ignores the PNR, exits queue mode, and redisplays the PNR.
QDF → ignores the PNR, moves it to the bottom of the queue, and exits queue mode.
QD → delays the PNR to a specific future date or time.

Queue Command Comparison Table

Command	Purpose	Saves Changes?	Exits Queue?	Moves to Next?
`QN`	Remove PNR, display next	No	No	Yes
`QNF`	Remove PNR, exit queue	No	Yes	No
`QF`	End transaction, exit queue	Yes	Yes	No
`QFR`	End transaction, exit, redisplay	Yes	Yes	No
`QES`	Save, move to bottom, exit	Yes	Yes	No
`QI`	Ignore PNR, exit queue	No	Yes	No
`QIR`	Ignore PNR, exit, redisplay	No	Yes	No
`QDF`	Ignore PNR, move to bottom, exit	No	Yes	No
`QD`	Delay PNR to future date/time	No	Depends	No
`QU`	Redisplay current queue message	No	No	No
`QE`	Place PNR on a queue	N/A	No	No
`RTQ`	Display queues containing PNR	No	No	No
`QR`	Remove all PNRs/messages from queue	N/A	No	No

The key distinction: The Amadeus QN QNF commands are navigational tools — they move you through the queue but never save changes. If your edits need to be preserved, save them first (with ET or ER) before using QN or QNF.

Quick Reference Checklist for Amadeus QN QNF Commands

Review and process the current queued PNR.
Decide whether more items remain in the queue.
If yes, enter QN to remove the PNR and display the next one.
If no, enter QNF to remove the PNR and exit queue mode.
Confirm the queue action was recorded and continue with your next task.

Conclusion

The Amadeus QN QNF commands are the two “move on” commands in Amadeus queue management. QN removes the current PNR from the queue and displays the next one, letting you process items continuously without leaving queue mode. QNF removes the current PNR and exits queue mode when you are done.

Using the two parts of the Amadeus QN QNF commands together keeps your queue sessions efficient and organised — QN for continuing, QNF for finishing. Remember that neither command saves changes: always save with ET or ER before moving on.

Alongside QE, QER, QES, QU, RTQ, QI, QIR, QDF, and QD, the Amadeus QN QNF commands complete your Amadeus queue toolkit and keep every queue session fast, safe, and organised.
