A complete guide to the WRA command in Amadeus โ how to print a displayed PNR or PNR history to a printer, another office, or a SITA address.
Printing a PNR is a routine part of daily travel agency work. Whether you are giving a customer a printed copy of their itinerary, sending a booking confirmation to another branch office, or transmitting a PNR to an airline through SITA, the WRA command handles the job. It prints a displayed PNR โ or its history โ to a printer, another office, or a SITA address. Unlike the WRS command, which prints only the first screen, WRA prints the full PNR, making it the right choice when the recipient needs the complete booking record. This guide explains what WRA does, the syntax for each variation, and when it should be used.
What Does the WRA Command Do?
WRA is the Amadeus GDS command used to print a displayed PNR or PNR history to a printer or SITA address.
Category: PNR Printing.
It allows you to print a PNR using the office default printer, another printer, another officeโs printer, or a SITA address. It can also print the PNR history.
Because WRA prints the full PNR โ not just the first screen โ it is the standard choice when a customer, a colleague, or an airline needs the complete booking record. It supports the same routing options as other print commands, so you can send the output wherever it is needed.
Print Displayed PNR
Print the currently displayed PNR to the office default printer:
WRA/RT
This prints the displayed PNR to the office default printer. Use it when you have already retrieved the booking and need a full printed copy.
Print PNR by Record Locator
Print a PNR by its record locator without retrieving it first:
WRA/RTB05JUY
This prints the PNR with record locator B05JUY to the office default printer. This saves time when you know the record locator and do not need to open the booking first.
Print to Another Printer
Print a PNR to another printer within the office:
WRAPAA4711/RTAZK4HT
This prints the PNR with record locator AZK4HT to printer PAA4711. Use it when the document should go to a specific printer โ for example, the one closest to the counter or the one reserved for customer documents.
Print to Another Office
Print a PNR to another officeโs default printer:
WRAMADIB0782/RTAZK4HT
This prints the PNR with record locator AZK4HT to the default printer at office MADIB0782. Useful when a branch office or a different department needs a printed copy of the booking.
Print to a SITA Address
Print a PNR to a specified SITA address:
WRATMADRAF/RTAZK4HT
This prints the PNR with record locator AZK4HT to the SITA address TMADRAF. SITA addresses are commonly used to send documents to airlines, ground handlers, or other travel partners outside the Amadeus network.
Print PNR History
Print the history of the displayed PNR:
WRA/RH
Print the history of a PNR using its record locator:
WRA/RH/RTAZK4HT
This prints the history of the PNR with record locator AZK4HT. The /RH option switches the output from the PNR itself to its history, which is useful for audits, disputes, and tracing changes.
When to Use WRA
Use WRA when you need to print a PNR or its history to a printer, another office, or a SITA address. Typical scenarios include:
- Printing a full PNR for the customerโs file or records.
- Sending a complete booking record to another branch office.
- Transmitting a PNR to an airline or handler via SITA.
- Printing the PNR history for audit or dispute resolution.
- Printing the PNR to a specific printer for a particular department.
- Producing a full booking record without retrieving the PNR first.
How WRA Fits Into Your PNR Management Workflow
A typical printing session using WRA might look like this:
- Retrieve the PNR or note its record locator.
- Decide whether you need the PNR itself or its history.
- Identify the correct destination printer, office, or SITA address.
- Enter the appropriate WRA entry.
- Confirm the print was sent successfully.
- Continue with the next task.
How WRA Relates to WRS
- WRA โ prints the full PNR or PNR history.
- WRS โ prints only the first screen of a PNR or PNR history.
Use WRA when the recipient needs the complete PNR or its full history, and WRS when only the first screen is required.
Important: WRA prints the full PNR or its full history โ not just the first screen. If you only need a summary, use WRS instead to save paper and time.
Always verify the target printer, office, or SITA address before sending, especially when printing to another location or an external partner.
