What airline reservations will show on the MPC display?
I have a short Sri Lankan trip planned and the two tickets booked through a TA are now paid for. Both have my MPC number attached (Asia Miles points are worth more than QF unless the QF status bonus applied)
The MH (Z) flights/ticket appear. The UL (L) one does not.
Which airline reservations will should/normally appear in MPC and which won't?
Just wandering

When the MPC number is entered into the Galileo PNR and saved, it also gets transmitted to Amadeus (which MH uses).
The CX/MPC website does a query to Amadeus when you login and asks it to display all reservations that have your MPC number attached. Even though the Amadeus PNR has no CX sectors, it would still show up as a result.
It might be possible that some airlines using Amadeus may have setup certain security features in their PNRs which would prevent another carrier also using Amadeus from displaying it.

Sometimes the UL one takes a little time. But you can ask them the question normally it should appear on CX. Both CX numbers are added to the bookings

If the booking reservation/confirmation shows on MPC, I would suggest that there is a very good possibility that the flight would correctly post (post-flight).
If it is not there, perhaps the FF# was input incorrectly....?
But I'm just wandering

However almost all the airlines I travel on these days use Amadeus, so I use checkmytrip which updates the details in real-time.

Post #2 implies that it should appear as JL uses Amadeus.
Check your JL reservation to verify your CX # has been entered properly.

They are still using their old system at the moment.
