Amadeus FXF Command: Informative Reissue Pricing Guide

A complete guide to the FXF command in Amadeus — how to perform informative pricing for an ATC reissue without creating or storing a TST.

⚡ Quick Summary — Key Takeaway

FXF shows you the reissue fare without committing to anything. It performs informative pricing for an ATC reissue and displays the applicable fare — but it does not create a TST, does not store pricing, and does not modify the PNR.

Command	FXF
Purpose	Informative pricing for ATC reissue
Creates TST?	No
Modifies PNR?	No
Use when	You need to check the fare before committing

Not every pricing step in a reissue needs to be committed. Sometimes you simply want to see what the system calculates before deciding whether to store the result, adjust the itinerary, or proceed with the exchange at all. The FXF command is designed for exactly this purpose. It performs an informative pricing calculation for a ticket reissue scenario but does not create or store a TST, leaving the PNR unchanged. This guide explains what FXF does, how it differs from other ATC reissue pricing commands, and when it should be used in your daily workflow.

What Does the FXF Command Do?

FXF is an Amadeus ATC Reissue command used for informative pricing without creating a TST.

Category: ATC Reissue / Informative Pricing.

The FXF command performs an informative pricing calculation for a ticket reissue scenario but does not create or store a TST. The result is shown for review only — the PNR remains exactly as it was, with no new ticket record and no committed pricing.

This makes FXF a safe, non-committal step that lets you evaluate the reissue fare before deciding whether to store the pricing and continue with the exchange.

FXF Command Syntax

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

FXF

The system performs an informative pricing calculation for the reissue scenario and displays the result without creating or storing a TST.

What the FXF Command Produces

Performs informative pricing for an ATC Reissue — the calculation is shown for information only.
Calculates the applicable reissue fare — the system determines the fare that would apply to the reissue scenario.
Does not create a TST — no ticket record is produced, so nothing is stored and the PNR remains unchanged.

FXF vs FXE vs FXO vs FXQ — Comparison Table

The four ATC reissue pricing commands are easily confused because they share the FX prefix. The table below shows the key differences at a glance:

Command	Type	Creates TST?	Best For
FXF	Informative pricing	No	Quick fare check before deciding to proceed
FXE	Informative Best Pricer	No	Best-price preview without committing
FXO	Confirmed Best Pricer	Yes	Confirmed best-price reissue with TST
FXQ	Confirmed with options	Yes	Confirmed reissue targeting specific passengers/segments

💡 Pro-Tip — Prerequisites & Common Errors for FXF

Before running FXF, make sure the PNR is in the right state — otherwise the system will return an error instead of a pricing result.

Prerequisites

The PNR must contain an issued ticket with a valid TST or FA element.
The new itinerary or segment change must already be in the PNR.
The ticket must be eligible for reissue under the fare rules.
Your office profile must have permission to run ATC reissue pricing commands.

Common Errors to Watch For

No PNR retrieved — FXF cannot run without an active PNR in the workspace.
No TST or FA element — if the ticket was never stored or issued, there is nothing to reprice.
Invalid fare basis — check the original fare’s reissue rules; some fares are non-reissuable.
Restricted user profile — your sign-in must allow ATC reissue pricing.

If FXF returns an error, resolve the PNR state first, then re-run the command. Do not try to force a result with a different command — use FXO or FXQ only after confirming the itinerary is correctly set up.

When to Use FXF

Use FXF when you want to check the pricing result of a ticket reissue before storing the pricing or proceeding with the reissue process. Typical scenarios include:

Quoting a reissue fare to a customer without committing to anything.
Checking whether the calculated fare is acceptable before proceeding.
Reviewing the fare when a supervisor or airline approval is required first.
Comparing different reissue options before deciding on the final one.
Confirming that the reissue is correctly priced before creating the TST.

How FXF Fits Into the ATC Reissue Workflow

A typical ATC reissue session using FXF 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 FXF to review the informative pricing result.
Confirm the fare is acceptable for the reissue.
Enter FXQ or FXO to confirm the pricing and create the TST.
Review the TST with TQT or TQTC and continue with the reissue.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does FXF do in Amadeus?

FXF performs informative pricing for an ATC reissue scenario, calculating the applicable reissue fare without creating a TST.

Does FXF create a TST?

No. FXF is informative only and does not create or store a TST. Use FXO or FXQ when you are ready to confirm the pricing and create the TST.

What is the difference between FXF and FXE?

Both are informative commands for the ATC reissue process and neither creates a TST. FXF performs standard informative pricing; FXE performs Informative Best Pricer pricing.

Why is my FXF entry returning an error?

The most common causes are a missing TST or FA element in the PNR, an itinerary that is not eligible for reissue, or a restricted user profile. Verify the PNR state before re-running FXF.

Conclusion

The FXF command is the safe preview step in the ATC reissue process. It performs informative pricing, shows the applicable reissue fare, and leaves the PNR untouched — no TST, no confirmed changes. Use FXF to quote the fare, verify it is acceptable, or obtain approval before committing. When you are ready to move forward, switch to FXO for confirmed Best Pricer pricing with TST creation, or FXQ when you need to target specific passengers, segments, or ticket numbers. Remember the distinction: FXF informs, FXO and FXQ confirm. Paired with FXI for involuntary disruptions, TQT and TQTC for review, and TTP for issuance, FXF makes the ATC reissue workflow precise, safe, and efficient.
