Prebill for SATA Tickets

A Prebill Performa must be completed by every agent whether you are Automated (SATA Core Ticketing) or if you are still Manually ticketing.

Once your Sales Manager has arranged with you your SATA Sales Reporting cycle (weekly or fortnightly). A pre-bill must be sent to STA Travel every Monday morning, totalling your SATA sales made for that period deducting any refunds or credit values that are due back to you. (download Pre bill Performa)

Please send the Prebill Performa to your Sales Manager at STA Travel every week/fortnight and to the following address salesreports@statravel.com

If there are no sales made within a reporting period then a prebill form must still be sent advising of NIL sales.

This will then facilitate STA Travel prebill procedures.
