If I do changes in the future what next agent who touches the ticket sees? Can he/she see it was originally made through travel agent? When and where it was issued? What info moves when repricing or is it plain xONEx "new ticket"?
Your itinerary has two main things: the reservations (typically called a PNR), and once ticketed, the e-ticket. Both carry a lot of information. The PNR retains the history of which agents modified it and what changes were done as well as potentially other notes such as from one airline department to another. (These notes can be a problem if, e.g., one person at an airline adds a note that it was an error fare and to forbid all voluntary changes.)
The PNR usually indicates if it was an agency versus airline booking originally. Most agents won't bother digging through all this unless there's a reasons to. Tickets indicate if they were an exchange from an earlier ticket, so the chain of tickets can be followed to the original.
