Invoice & Reporting Overview
The Stricct Travel Connector replaces the standard Business Central invoice with a custom travel invoice that includes rich booking details your customers need to see.
What Makes It Different
Standard Business Central invoices show item lines with quantities and amounts. The custom travel invoice goes further by including:
- Flight details -- routes, departure and arrival times, airline information
- Hotel details -- property names, check-in and check-out dates
- Passenger names -- individual traveler information on each booking line
- PNR and ticket numbers -- booking references for easy cross-referencing with the travel booking system
This additional data is pulled automatically from the booking information stored during the AIR import process.
Configurable Per Customer
Not every customer wants the same level of detail on their invoices. The system offers two key settings on the Customer Card:
| Setting | What It Controls |
|---|---|
| VAT Display Option | Whether VAT details are hidden, summarized, or shown in full per-line detail |
| Specify Service Fees | Whether service fees appear as separate line items or are bundled into booking lines |
These settings let you tailor each customer's invoice to match their preferences or accounting requirements.
How It Works Behind the Scenes
When you print or email an invoice, the custom report gathers travel-specific data from buffer tables that were populated during order processing. It combines this with standard invoice data to produce a single, comprehensive document. The report language automatically follows the customer's language code setting, so invoices are generated in the correct language.
