Each request to GP Travel HUB has to identify particular booking to be processed. For that purpose special unique identifiers are used.
...
"supplier". Each actual reservation returns "supplier" identifier - the unique identifier of the booking in supplier's system. ID_Context attribute identifies the supplier. It is not necessary to pass the "supplier" identifier in all following requests; only "client" is required. But in response it is mandatory (is it correct?).
"PNR". It is an optional reference needed for online check-in. It can be presented by several references depending on airlines quantity. GP HUB returns “PNR“ only if supplier returns it.
You have to store all values of BookingReferenceID in your system, and use it unchanged through whole booking's life cycle.
