Handling of invoices for non-ICH carriers
Hi IATA.
Some comments on non-ICH-members confused me lately. It is my understanding that Non-ICH members will not be able to migrate to SIS and submit their data in IS format to IATA. Correct or wrong?
As a migrated carrier, may we also send IS-IDECs to IATA for invoices to Non-ICH carriers? Or should those invoices be exchanged bilaterally? Please advise.
Thanks

Hi Claudia,
For airlines, being a member of a Clearing House (ICH or ACH) is not a prerequisite to join SIS – any airline that is involved in interline activity is eligible to join.
Non-airlines may also join SIS if they do substantial business with the airline industry, particularly where international settlements are involved due to the integration with the clearing house. For non-airlines working mainly in a domestic environment, IATA e-Invoicing has services that may also be appropriate to their needs in countries which it supports. IATA e-Invoicing also enables the transmission and receipt of IS-XML format files for users of the service.
As a migrated airline, you may send IS-Format files to SIS for Clearing House and non-Clearing House carriers for bilateral settlements (SMI=B).
Hope this clarifies.
Best regards

Hi Ashley,
just to make sure I understand you correctly. We could send IS-IDEC invoices with SMI=B to IATA for any Non-CH-airline? Or do we need to check if they are SIS members first?
Thanks

Hi Claudia, By go-live, all entities in the Airline Coding Directory with both a designator and prefix codes will be set up in SIS with ‘Basic’ status. So basically you will be able to send invoices with SMI = B to any member that has been loaded in SIS. Best regards From: LINGENS Claudia [mailto:claudia.lingens@dlh.de]
