Initial data is ticket transactions that appear in which document before submission?

• A. ARC accredited agency's IAR sales report before submission
• B. The travel agency's calendar
• C. The airline's fare rules
• D. The IATA global refund ledger

Answer: (A)

The initial ticket transaction data is captured first in the ARC-accredited agency’s IAR sales report before submission. This report is the agency’s internal record of daily ticket sales, listing all transactions so the data can be verified and reconciled prior to ARC processing. It serves as the source data for the official submission, ensuring accuracy and a clean handoff to ARC. The travel agency’s calendar isn’t a data source for ticket transactions, fare rules describe pricing terms rather than data capture, and the IATA global refund ledger handles refunds, not the initial sales data.
