I'm not sure what you mean? The PNR and ticket number remain the same. If the gate agent is agreeable to allow you to fly the next day they simply do a ticket re-issue. In fact you might be able to do it on the airline's app. But again it would have to be an extreme delay. Like you were scheduled to depart at 4PM and the flight is now delayed to 11PM and you don't want to wait around.
