Amadeus FXE Command: Informative Best Pricer

A complete guide to the FXE command in Amadeus — how to perform Informative Best Pricer pricing during the ATC reissue process without creating a TST.

Before finalising a ticket reissue, it is often wise to check what the system would charge without committing to anything. The FXE command is built for exactly that purpose. It performs Informative Best Pricer pricing during the ATC reissue process, searches for the best available fare, and displays the result for information only — without creating a TST. This gives you a safe preview of the applicable fare before you move on to confirmed pricing and TST creation. This guide explains what FXE does, how it differs from FXO, and when it should be used.

What Does the FXE Command Do?

FXE is an Amadeus ATC Reissue command used for Informative Best Pricer pricing without creating a TST.

Category: ATC Reissue / Best Pricer.

The FXE command searches for the best available pricing option during the ATC reissue process and displays the result for information only. Nothing is confirmed and no ticket record is created, so the PNR remains unchanged.

This makes FXE a safe, non-committal step that lets you evaluate the fare before deciding whether to proceed with the reissue.

Syntax

Enter the command on its own while working in the ATC reissue process:

FXE

The system performs Informative Best Pricer pricing, searches for the best applicable fare, and displays the result for information only — without creating a TST.

What the Command Produces

Performs Informative Best Pricer pricing — an informational result, not a confirmed one.
Searches for the best applicable fare — the system finds the most suitable fare for the new itinerary.
Used in the ATC Reissue process — designed specifically for reissue workflows.
Does not create a TST — no ticket record is produced, so the PNR remains unchanged.

When to Use FXE

Use FXE when you want to check the best available fare for a ticket reissue before confirming the pricing and creating a TST. Typical scenarios include:

Quoting a reissue fare to a customer before committing to the change.
Checking whether the best fare is acceptable before proceeding.
Comparing fare options across different routings or dates.
Confirming that the reissue is correctly priced before issuing anything.
Reviewing the fare when a supervisor or airline approval is required first.

How FXE Fits Into the ATC Reissue Workflow

A typical ATC reissue session using FXE might look like this:

Retrieve the PNR and confirm the ticket is eligible for reissue.
Adjust the itinerary if the change requires new segments.
Enter FXE to review the Informative Best Pricer result.
Confirm the fare is acceptable for the reissue.
Enter FXO to confirm the pricing and create the TST.
Review the TST with TQT or TQTC and continue with issuance.

How FXE Relates to Other ATC Reissue Commands

FXE → Informative Best Pricer pricing for ATC reissue; no TST created.
FXO → Confirmed Best Pricer pricing with TST creation for ATC reissue.
FXI → ATC Involuntary pricing for airline-caused disruptions.
FXP / FXX / FXB / FXR → standard pricing commands for normal fares and voluntary changes.
TQT / TQTC → display the TST after it has been created.
TTP / TTP/EXCH → issue the reissued ticket using the new TST.

The key distinction is simple: FXE informs, FXO confirms. Use FXE first, then FXO when you are ready to commit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FXE do in Amadeus?

FXE performs Informative Best Pricer pricing during the ATC reissue process, searches for the best available fare, and displays the result for information only.

Does FXE create a TST?

No. FXE is informational only and does not create a TST. Use FXO when you are ready to confirm the pricing and create the TST.

What is the difference between FXE and FXO?

FXE is Informative Best Pricer pricing with no TST created. FXO is Confirmed Best Pricer pricing that also creates a TST for the reissue.

Conclusion

The FXE command is the safe preview step in the ATC reissue process. It performs Informative Best Pricer pricing, shows the best applicable fare, and leaves the PNR untouched — no TST, no confirmed changes. Use FXE to quote the fare, verify it is acceptable, or get approval before committing. When you are ready to move forward, switch to FXO to confirm the pricing and create the TST. Remember the distinction: FXE informs, FXO confirms. Paired with FXI for involuntary disruptions, TQT and TQTC for review, and TTP for issuance, FXE makes the ATC reissue workflow precise and risk-free.
