1  Introduction

This document defines the interfaces which govern the interchange of data between an ERP system and other systems within an Airline Operation Center (AOC).  Each AOC interface is represented by a message described in an associated XSD (XML Schema Definition). The XSD defines and enforces the required, optional, and conditional data that can be included in a message.

ERP messages support new customer account creation and maintenance, and transaction billing.
