Amadeus MP Command: Redisplay a Cleared Screen

A complete guide to the MP command in Amadeus — how to redisplay a screen that has been cleared and return to the information you were working with.

Amadeus is a fast, keyboard-driven system. Agents move between displays constantly — availability, PNRs, timetables, seat maps, queue screens — and it only takes one entry to lose sight of the information you were looking at. A screen that was on display a second ago can be replaced by something else entirely, and if you did not note the details, they are gone. The MP command is the Amadeus entry that solves this. It restores the previous screen display after it has been cleared, bringing the information back without having to re-enter the original search. This guide explains what MP does, its syntax, and when it should be used.

What Does the MP Command Do?

MP is the Amadeus GDS command used to redisplay a screen that has been cleared.

Category: Screen Navigation.

It restores the previous screen display after it has been cleared.

The MP command is a navigation tool, not a data-retrieval command. It does not open a new search or retrieve a PNR — it simply brings back onto the screen whatever was displayed before the screen was replaced or cleared. This makes it useful when you need to check a detail you saw a moment ago, or when a display was covered by a warning or message that has since disappeared.

Syntax

Enter the command on its own:

MP

This restores the previous screen display. The information that was on screen before it was cleared appears again, exactly as it was.

When to Use MP

Use MP when you need to redisplay the information from a cleared screen. Typical scenarios include:

You were reviewing an availability display and the screen moved on before you finished reading it.
A PNR screen was replaced by another entry and you want to return to what you were looking at.
A warning or system message covered the display and you want to see the original screen again.
You were checking flight details with DO and want to return to the previous view.
You want to re-read a schedule or timetable without re-entering the search.
You were working on a queue display and the screen was cleared by another action.
You need to compare the current screen with what was shown a moment ago.

How MP Fits Into Your PNR Management Workflow

A typical session using MP might look like this:

Open availability for a route with AN and start reviewing the flights.
Another entry, message, or display replaces the availability screen.
Enter MP to restore the previous screen.
Continue reviewing the flights and choose the option that fits the customer.
Sell the segment with SS when the customer confirms.
Continue with pricing and ticketing using FXP and TTP.

How MP Relates to Other Screen Navigation and Redisplay Commands

MP → restores a screen that has been cleared.
RT → retrieves a live PNR from the active database.
RH → displays the PNR history of the retrieved record.
ACR → redisplays availability for the same or a different date.
AC → modifies an existing availability display.
IG → ignores the current transaction and returns to the command prompt.
IR → ignores the current transaction and redisplays the PNR.
AN → opens a new availability request.

The distinction matters: MP is purely a screen-navigation command — it restores what was previously on the screen. It does not retrieve data, open a search, or modify anything. If you need to bring data back after the display has been overwritten by a new search, you must open that search again.

Important: MP restores the previous screen display only. It does not re-run a search or re-retrieve a PNR. If the display has been overwritten by a new availability request, timetable, schedule, or another PNR, MP may not bring back the original screen — because the screen has effectively been replaced, not just cleared.

If you need the data again after it has been overwritten, re-enter the original request — for example AN for availability, RT for a PNR, or DO for flight details.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the MP command do in Amadeus?

MP restores the previous screen display after it has been cleared. It is a screen navigation command, not a data retrieval command.

Does MP re-run the previous search?

No. MP only restores the display. It does not re-execute the command or retrieve new data. If the underlying data has changed, the display may show outdated information.

What if MP does not bring back the screen I wanted?

The screen may have been replaced rather than cleared. Re-enter the original request — for example AN for availability or RT for a PNR.

Can MP bring back a PNR screen?

MP restores whatever was on the screen. If a PNR was displayed before the screen was cleared, MP should bring it back. If the PNR has been overwritten by a new search, retrieve it again with RT.

How is MP different from IR or IG?

IR and IG discard unsaved changes and end the transaction. MP simply restores the previous screen without affecting the transaction.

Conclusion

The MP command is the screen redisplay tool in Amadeus. Use MP when a screen that was on display has been cleared and you want to see it again — without having to re-enter the original search or retrieve the record again. It is a simple but useful command for moments when a message, a warning, or another entry has covered the display and you need to look at what you were previously reviewing. Remember that MP restores the display only; it does not re-run a search or re-retrieve data. If the screen has been replaced by a completely different request, re-enter the original entry — for example AN for availability, RT for a PNR, ACR to redisplay availability, or DO for flight details. Paired with these retrieval and redisplay commands, MP completes your screen navigation toolkit and keeps your workflow smooth when displays change unexpectedly.
