PNR and ticket stay together
The Galileo PNR, the passenger name and the ticket number move from the MIR onto the draft. Those are the fields the desk stops retyping. SYSTACC has not published a minutes-per-ticket figure, so none is quoted here.

Overview
Accounting software built for travel
Galileo is the Travelport reservation system a lot of agencies still ticket on. In SYSTACC it is the CRS coded 1G. When a ticket is issued, Travelport writes a MIR, a machine interface record, for the back office. Travelport’s own notes describe the header, the passenger section and the fare section: support.travelport.com
The file accounts needs is that MIR. SYSTACC reads the PNR and the airline from the header, each passenger and ticket number, each sector, the base fare and the taxes, and the fare basis when the file carries it.
The slip beside this section is a sample built from those fields. Passenger K. Nair, Kochi to Dubai. PNR H4N2QW. Base 18400, YQ 3200, YR 420, K3 980, other tax 610, total 23610, ticket 176 8821 4409 2. The draft keeps that PNR and that ticket number.
A void or a refund is a later accounting document. SYSTACC supports credit notes for flight refunds. A file that does not match a ticket on the books stays for accounts to place.
Benefits
What the MIR keeps on the draft
Sectors on the same draft
Each flight leg keeps the airline, the flight number, the class, the airports and the times.
The tax split is read, including K3
Base fare, YQ, YR, K3 and the remaining tax are taken from the fare section. K3 is the GST component on that fare line.
BSP is the airline settlement
BSP, IATA’s Billing and Settlement Plan, is the single billing statement and remittance an accredited agency uses with participating airlines. Sales and refunds are matched on the ticket number, and the close is the lines that do not agree. The walkthrough is the BSP reconciliation guide.
How it works
From onboarding to daily books
- 01
Name the Galileo folder once
In GDS auto-invoicing, the office enters the folder where Galileo writes MIR files. One path is enough for that computer.
- 02
Install the agent and leave it running
SYSTACC gives a small agent for that PC. It watches the folder and sends new files up.
- 03
Sell in Galileo as usual
Booking and ticketing stay on the screens the desk already uses.
- 04
The MIR becomes a draft
SYSTACC reads the file and opens a draft invoice with the PNR, passengers, ticket numbers, sectors, fare and taxes.
- 05
Accounts checks the log
The published list shows each file as Galileo (MIR). A file that does not parse stays visible for review.
Built with SYSTACC
Passengers, sectors, and the tax split
Adults, children and infants
The passenger line marks adult, child or infant, and the draft keeps that type with the name and ticket number.
More than one sector
Each sector is its own leg, with the departure and arrival airport, the flight number, the class and the times.
Fare basis, when the file has it
The fare basis is stored on the draft with the fare.
Airline record locator, when the file has it
Some MIR files include the airline’s own locator. SYSTACC keeps it when that line is present. Otherwise the Galileo PNR is the reference on the draft.
One agent, three GDS
The same setup can watch an Amadeus AIR folder and a Sabre IUR folder beside the Galileo MIR folder. All three post into the same books.
FAQs
Common questions
Does SYSTACC integrate with Travelport and Galileo?
Yes. SYSTACC reads Galileo MIR files, the machine interface records Travelport writes, and opens a draft invoice with the PNR, passenger, ticket number, sectors, fare and taxes. In SYSTACC, Galileo is the CRS coded 1G.
What is a MIR file?
A MIR, or machine interface record, is the back-office record Travelport systems, including Galileo, produce for a ticketed booking. It carries the PNR, the passenger, the ticket number, the sectors and the fare. The formats are explained in the AIR, MIR and IUR guide.
Do we retype Galileo tickets into the books?
Tickets that arrive in the MIR are posted from that file. The fields that move across are the PNR, passenger, ticket number, sectors, base fare and the tax split. The team reviews the draft and the lines SYSTACC flags.
Which taxes does SYSTACC read from the MIR?
The fare section is split into base fare, YQ, YR, K3 and the remaining tax. K3 is the GST component on that fare line. Those amounts stay on the draft with the ticket number.
How does the MIR reach SYSTACC?
Galileo writes the MIR to a folder on the office computer. In GDS auto-invoicing the office names that folder, installs the SYSTACC agent, and leaves it running. The agent sends new files up, and the published list shows them as Galileo (MIR).
Can we use Galileo with Amadeus or Sabre?
Yes. The same agent can watch an Amadeus AIR folder, a Galileo MIR folder and a Sabre IUR folder. All three post into the same accounting flow.
What is BSP?
BSP, IATA’s Billing and Settlement Plan, is the single billing statement and remittance an accredited agency uses with participating airlines. SYSTACC matches sales and refunds on the ticket number. The steps are in the BSP reconciliation guide.
How are Galileo refunds accounted for?
SYSTACC supports credit notes for flight refunds, and for ADM and ACM memos. A refund file that does not match a ticket already on the books stays for accounts to place.
What if the MIR has more than one passenger?
Each passenger on the file is kept, with a ticket number and a type: adult, child or infant. The sectors sit on the same draft.
Why is there no Travelport booking count on this page?
Travelport’s 2025 update reports earnings and the share of API transactions. It does not publish an air-booking count comparable to the Amadeus Global Report or Sabre’s earnings release, so this page does not quote one. The release is Travelport’s growth update.
