Kort sagt är det en registrering av biljettpriset, prissättningen och betalningsinformationen. Om till exempel om resplanen är reprisserad, skulle PNR inte förändras, men en ny TST skulle skapas.
Enligt detta 2009 Amadeus TST träningshandbok ,
A Transitional Stored Ticket (TST) is a record created to store information that is printed on a passenger ticket. The system creates the TST automatically after you make an itinerary pricing entry, FXP (FXB, FXA …) The TST is attached to the PNR and can be viewed as required. A maximum of ten TSTs can be stored per passenger.
When you enter a request to display a stored TST, the system combined information contained in the PNR and the tst.The following information is stored in a TST only:
- International sales indicator
- Origin/destination

- Tax including currency code, country tax code, and tax type code

The following fare element information is stored both in the PNR and in the TST

Som beskrivs i Amadeus e-universitetsblogg :
A stored fare, also known as a Transitional Stored Ticket (TST), is a record of all fare information for a PNR. The TST is created after you make an entry to price and store the fare, or when you issue a ticket or invoice. When a TST is created a number is allocated to that specific TST which is completely unique and cannot be re-used within the same PNR. This number allows you to identify the TST for the entire life of the PNR.
