What is the IAR system entry date?

• A. The date the ticket was issued in the GDS
• B. The date a ticket transaction was loaded or entered into IAR
• C. The date the report was generated
• D. The date the agent was accredited

Answer: (B)

The IAR system entry date is the date a ticket transaction was loaded or entered into IAR. This timestamp marks when ARC first ingested the transaction into the IAR database, which is what drives its appearance in IAR reports and reconciliations. It isn’t the ticket issue date in the GDS (that shows when the ticket was issued to the passenger), nor the date a report was generated (that just shows when the report was created), and it isn’t related to when the agent was accredited. Knowing the entry date helps establish when the transaction became active in IAR and supports accurate period-based accounting and audit trails.
