[SOLVED] Adding User Defined Interface Data (UDID) to Sabre PNR

Adding User Defined Interface Data (UDID) to Sabre PNR

I'm trying to add UDID fields to PNRs using the SOAP API. There is no mention of such functionality anywhere in the docs!

So I tried using the SabreCommandLLSRQ endpoint to attach the UD fields, but I don't seem to be able to make any changes, despite receiving a * response.

I've tried the following command using the endpoint:

5.S*RL[record locator]*UD56 [some test value]

For example:

5.S*RLEPLHYN*UD56 YVRYEG

But that also leads to a * response without the PNR actually changing.

Solution

I found it in the API too, it is only mentioned in one of many examples in AddRemarkRQ: If you want it to show up on the itinerary:

<AddRemarkRQ xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Version="2.1.1">
    <RemarkInfo>
        <Remark Type="Invoice">
            <Text>
                U45-111794
            </Text>
        </Remark>
    </RemarkInfo>
</AddRemarkRQ>

If you don't want it to show up on the itinerary:

<AddRemarkRQ xmlns="http://webservices.sabre.com/sabreXML/2011/10" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" Version="2.1.1">
    <RemarkInfo>
        <Remark Type="Invoice">
            <Text>
                U*45-111794
            </Text>
        </Remark>
    </RemarkInfo>
</AddRemarkRQ>

I've tested it in both CreatePassengerNameRecordRQ and AddRemarkRQ contexts.
