Or you can do what my moron TA did once. I had reserved a RTW through the AA RTW desk, but my company would pay for it directly (as opposed to getting reimbursed) if it went through our corporate TA. So I gave him the itinerary and the record locator.

Moron TA couldn't "grab" the record for ticketing, so moron TA rebuilt the itinerary segment by segment and priced each segment independently. Fortunately, I caught that pretty quickly before the sweeper went by and canceled everything because I was double-booked in 16 segments.

I ended up paying for it and just getting reimbursed, kept that thing far far away from the TA's capable hands.
