Clicking on the “Reject request” button opens a form for entering the reason for rejection, which will be visible to the user. Filling in the cause is optional. The rejection of the application is logged and displayed in the table “History of changes in the application”, as well as a notification is sent to the e-mail specified during the creation of the application. Notification template can be set in the '''« System settings → Notifications and documents → Letter templates»''' section . Template name is "Request for return or exchange rejected (type_book_return_rejected)".
Automated returns are carried out while interacting with the GDS in several stages. At the first stage, the amount to be returned is requested. At the second stage, the ticket refund is executed.<br>
To begin working with this functionality, it is necessary to enable the automatic mode for the '''Refund and exchange method''' and set the refund penalty in the а также задать размер штрафа за возврат в поле '''Penalty amount for one ticket''' ''(optional)''.<br>
=== Automated refund process ===
<span style="background-color: rgb(255, 240, 245)"><span style="font-size: large"><span style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0)">!</span></span> Partial refund is not supported for automated return. Only full refund of all segments is available.<br>
At the same time with the creation of the claim, the {{NameSystemLink}} Websky system sends a request for the amount to be returned to the GDS. Based on the amount received and the penalty specified in the '''Размер штрафа за возврат одного билетаRefund fee per one ticket''' setting, the amount that will be returned to the user is determined. It is important to understand that the refundable amount is calculated as ''Refund amount from GDS - Penalty from the settings''. Notification of the calculation is sent to the address of the letter’s hidden copy and to the address specified in the claim.<br>
If the amount of the penalty from the settings exceeds the value received from the supplier, then the amount to be paid will be charged; so the user (order owner) will have to make a payment.<br>
If a full ticket refund is made for all passengers, then upon completion of the refund, the main order will become '''«Canceled»''', and all additional services will be canceled. Cancellation of additional services can be carried out only with a full refund.<br>
Upon completion of the ticket return operation, the main order page will display a message '''«Refund was made»''' или '''«Partial refund was made»'''.
 
== Automated exchange ==
On the page of the created claim, the search form for a new flight for exchange opens, where you should specify the parameters of the new search. Upon completion of the search a list of available options for the exchange, obtained from the GDS, is displayed.
Страница с результатами вариантов для обмена подобна странице результатов поиска, но имеется некоторое отличие: плашка с перелетом для обмена содержит информацию о возврате средств или доплате за обмен. По клику на гиперссылку отобразится форма '''«Детализация стоимости»''', в которой содержатся следующие данные:
The page with the results of exchange options is similar to the search results page, but there are several differences: the window with the flight for exchange contains information about the return of funds or the additional payment for the exchange. Clicking on the hyperlink will display the '''«Price Detail»''' form, which contains the following data: <br>
* Flight price — includes the cost of a new flight from the supplier + fees/discounts from agent pricing;
If a full exchange of tickets is made for all passengers, then upon completion of the exchange information about the new flight and / or tickets will be displayed in the main order.
If an error occurs in the exchange process with a price reduction, the funds will be returned, in which case the exchange must be carried out through the terminal.
During the exchange, an EMD with a refund price can be generated. Documents are returned automatically immediately after the exchange is completed or after a while, depending on the settings on the Amadeus side. The time is set in the GDS requisites on the {{NameProject2}} side - '''Hours before RSVR EMD can be returned'''. Depending on how the requisites are configured on the Amadeus side, it is supposed to set the value of this setting. The system {{NameSystemLink}} Websky supports the manual return of the EMD using the «End Exchange» button. It is important to note that the action is available only if an EMD is generated for refund and their automatic refund is not available.
== Getting a refund and exchange EMD ==
When a return, exchange or revalidation is made, EMD is issued for penalties for difference from the reduction of fare and/or taxes. The {{NameSystem}} Websky system forms the EMD document and sends it to the customer’s address, and a copy goes to the address from the «E-mail Address for Copies of Notifications» setting. To form the document, the system uses the template specified in the settings at '''«System settings → Notifications and documents → E-mail settings»'''.
The list of actions with the order presents the possibility of unloading EMD.
== Transferring the automated claim to manual ==
The {{NameSystemLink}} Websky system supports the possibility to switch the request processing mode from automated to manual. Claim transferring can be performed by the user manually or by the system automatically.<br>
Automatic transferring is performed if:
* Selected requisite package in the '''Requisites for automatic exchanges and refunds''' is different from the ones in which the order was created.
