This is not an exhaustive list and is indicative only.

An ADM Dispute will be managed as follows (Qantas ADM Dispute Process):

(a) An agent may dispute an ADM sent in error by clicking on the ‘Dispute’ button at the bottom of the ADM notification and providing specific details of your justification (including supporting evidence) for disputing the ADM (ADM Dispute).
(b) An ADM Dispute must be raised within BSPlink, or ARC Memo Manager for USA travel agents, within 15 days of the ADM notification.
(c) Qantas will review any ADM Dispute within 14 days of notification via BSPlink, or ARC Memo Manager for USA travel agents.

When the ‘Dispute’ button is no longer available, further communication regarding your ADM Dispute should be made direct with Qantas to the email address provided on the ADM.

Once Qantas has reviewed the ADM Dispute:

(a) If the original ADM notification was correct, the ADM originally issued via BSPlink will be processed against the agent. USA travel agents will need to pay the ADM in their next Interactive Agent Reporting (IAR) settlement;
(b) If Qantas agrees that the ADM needs adjustment, we will cancel and reissue an adjusted ADM or raise an Agency Credit Memo (ACM) for the difference once the original ADM is billed. For USA travel agents, Qantas will adjust the amount due on the current ADM in ARC Memo Manager.

An agent may request an ADM reduction from Qantas in circumstances where an incorrect amount was remitted to Qantas due to a ticketing error has occurred. 

In any of the following circumstances, Qantas will reduce the amount of an ADM to a flat rate, inclusive of an administration fee:

(a) Schedule change when an authority was provided but was not added to the endorsement box. 
(b) Change fees not remitted, when a commercial waiver was provided but was not added to the ticket endorsement box.
(c) Incorrect remittance of fare due to Qantas Corporate Identification (QCI) number missing from the tour code box.

If you have received an ADM notification for the full amount of a ticketing error shortfall and the specific ticketing errors listed above have occurred, you may request that the ADM is reduced to a flat rate plus the Administration Fee by following the Qantas ADM Dispute Process above.

All ADMs must be disputed through the Qantas ADM Dispute Process.  If Qantas receives a dispute via the IATA Post Billing Disputes system (PBD) without initially following the Qantas ADM Dispute Process, Qantas will not respond to the PBD request, and the ADM will be re-issued to the agent with service and administration fees applied.

If a PBD results in falling favourable to Qantas but the agent has not followed the dispute process, Qantas will charge the agent applicable fees associated with the PBD.
