How do I book a direct payment carrier in Galileo?

When

The client wants to fly with an airline that Travelport+ sells as a direct payment carrier: the booking is made in Travelport+, but the airline is paid directly by card and no ticket is issued by the agency.

Check first

The airline is activated for you: ZPROV lists the direct payment carriers you can book.
Have the client's address, email, phone and card ready: the booking cannot be closed without the contact fields, and payment goes to the airline.

Steps

#	Entry	What it does	Why
1	`ZPROV`	Lists the direct payment carriers activated for you.	No point searching an airline that is not there.
2	`FSVIE14NOVLHR` or `A14NOVVIELHR`	Fare shopping or availability; add `*` and the airline code for one airline.	Find the flight; click it to book.
3	`N1Y1`	Sells one seat in Y from line 1 (or click the class).	Book the flight.
4	`N.` · `T.` · `R.` · `W.` · `MF.` or `MT.` · `P.`	Name, ticketing field, received from, address, email, phone.	All are compulsory before the end; some airlines also want passport data (SSR DOCS).
5	`M.`	Frequent flyer number, if the client has one.	Points and benefits.
6	`FQ`	Prices the direct payment carrier segments.	The price the airline will charge.
7	Click	Ancillaries mask; class code → seat map; `#` in front of the airline → payment screen.	Extras, seat and payment are done in the graphic screens.
8	`F.`	Form of payment: the client's card (see Form of payment — in the booking file and on the filed fare).	The airline charges it directly.
9	`R.P` · `ER`	Received from, then end transact.	Closes and stores the booking.

Most mandatory fields can also be filled in one mask: # in the booking file, or Create/Edit Customer Information.

Check it worked

*R after the end: the segments show status ZK and a vendor locator from the airline has been added.

Traps

There is no ticket. Do not try to issue one; the vendor locator is the airline's reference for the booking.
For these airlines the ancillary shopping basket opens even before the booking file is closed (see Ancillary services (DAS) — extra bags, meals and other paid extras).
Status ZK marks a passive API booking. When you list bookings by status, these appear under ZK, not HK (see Segment status codes (HK, KK, HL, UC, TK, HX …) and what to do).
Most entries are the normal Travelport+ ones; in Smartpoint nearly everything here can also be clicked.
