Welcome to the BSP Data Interchange Specifications Group (BDISG) Site.
BDISG
The Private portion of the Web site is reserved for Member Airlines and qualified Strategic Partnership Members registered within the Passenger and Airport Services area and involved in IATA Passenger Settlement Systems in providing agent reporting data (RET) to a BSP.
The BSP Data Interchange Specifications Group (BDISG) is established to develop and maintain data interchange specifications within the BSP Data Interchange Specifications Handbook (DISH) for the exchange of passenger ticketing and related data between Billing and Settlement Plan (BSP) business partners.
DISH
DISH is the global data interchange standard implemented by all Billing Settlement Plans (BSPs), to ensure consistency and the exchange of the highest possible quality data between GDSs, BSPs and airlines.
The DISH is promulgated as Attachment A of the IATA Passenger Services Conference (PSC) Resolution 750 - BSP Data Interchange Specifications.
The DISH provides the passenger travel industry with a set of standard formats to support the reporting of passenger sales and ticketing data.
The Handbook specifies the formats used in BSPs for the Agent Reporting (RET), Airline Accounting/Sales (HOT), Credit Sales Invoicing (CSI), Ticket Inventory (TI), Credit Card Settlement Plan (CSP) and Market Share Analysis Data (MSA) business functions.
The DISH also provides the technical specification required by interested parties and potential users for the development of BSP systems and their interfaces with BSP participants.
