What is the SYSTEM ENTRY DATE of a GDS-generated ticket (when does the document appear in IAR)?

• A. The day after the ticket was issued in the GDS.
• B. The same day as the ticket issue date.
• C. The date the record was created in IAR.
• D. The day after the ticket was issued in the GDS.

Answer: (D)

Posting delay is what this item tests. For a GDS-generated ticket, the document isn’t entered into IAR in real time. The GDS issues the ticket, but ARC updates IAR through nightly batch processing, so the record appears the next day. That means the system entry date is the day after the ticket is issued in the GDS. For example, a ticket issued on Monday would show up in IAR on Tuesday. This lag exists to align data flow between systems and ensure accurate posting and reconciliation.
