Name ID. Enter all or the first part of the unique identification number assigned to this account profile by a chain or property.

IATA No. Enter all or the first part of the unique International Association of Travel Agents number if the profile you are seeking is a travel agent. (If the OPR <version number> ORS license code is active, a parameter can be set that allows duplicate Corporate, Travel Agent, and Source IDs.

Padding is a feature that adds zeros in the beginning (to the left) of a number to make the total amount of required digits. For example, if the IATA number has been set up to have 10 digits and you enter six numbers (345678), the system adds four more zeros in the beginning of the number to equal 10 (0000345678).

Corp. No. Enter all or the first part of the unique corporate ID number or code assigned to the profile if you are seeking a company profile. (Keep in mind, if the OPR <version number> ORS license code is active, a parameter can be set that allows duplicate Corporate, Travel Agent, and Source IDs. The parameter can be accessed through Application Settings > Global > Profiles > Parameters > ALLOW DUPLICATE ID'S.) Also, if the application setting Profiles > Settings > Pad Corpno Digits has been defined (available when the Profiles > Functions > IATA Company Type is active), the number you enter can be "padded." Padding is a feature that adds zeros in the beginning (to the left) of a number to make the total amount of required digits.
