A-1 Full-Service Error Thresholds

Full-Service verification data is located on the Electronic Verification tab of the Mailer Scorecard.

Error Type	Mailer Scorecard Error	Error Threshold	Description
Valid MID	MID Container	2%	A MID Container error is logged when the Mailer ID in the Intelligent Mail container barcode was not assigned by the Postal Service, and is invalid, or cannot be found.
Valid MID	MID Handling Unit	2%	A MID Handling Unit error is logged when the Mailer ID in the Intelligent Mail tray barcode was not assigned by the Postal Service, and is invalid, or cannot be found.
Valid MID	MID Piece	2%	A MID Piece error is logged when the Mailer ID in the Intelligent Mail barcode was not assigned by the Postal Service, and is invalid, or cannot be found.
Valid STID	STID	2%	A STID Error is logged when the Service Type ID in the Intelligent Mail barcode is missing or not valid and correct for the class and service level of the mailpiece.
By/For	By/For	5%*	A By/For Error is logged when the Mail Owner and Mail Preparer are not identified or are not accurate in the eDoc. Do the Mail Owner and Mail Preparer identifiers (MID, CRID, or Permit) provided in the eDoc exist in Postal Service reference systems? Is the Mail Owner also identified as the Mail Preparer within the same mailing? Has the Mail Owner been identified as a Mail Preparer in another mailing in the past 90 days?
Unique Barcode	Barcode Uniqueness Container	2%	A Barcode Uniqueness container error is logged when the Intelligent Mail container barcode is not unique across all mailings from all mailers over the previous 45 days of the Postage Statement Mailing Date that was provided in eDoc.
Unique Barcode	Barcode Uniqueness Handling Unit	2%	A Barcode Uniqueness Handling Unit error is logged when the Intelligent Mail tray barcode is not unique across all mailings from all mailers over the previous 45 days of the Postage Statement Mailing Date that was provided in eDoc.
Unique Barcode	Barcode Uniqueness Piece	2%	A Barcode Uniqueness Piece error is logged when the Intelligent Mail barcode is not unique across all mailings from all mailers over the previous 45 days of the Postage Statement Mailing Date that was provided in eDoc. The MID, Serial Number, and Mail Class from the STID define a unique IMb. If the same MID and Serial Number are used on two mailpieces with two different STIDs that indicate the same class of mail (for example First-Class STIDs 314 and 320), those pieces will be flagged as non-unique.
Entry Facility	Entry Facility Container	2%	An Entry Facility Container Error is logged when the entry facility as included in the eDoc (Locale Key or Postal Code) of the container is not a valid Postal Service location in the Facility File of the Drop-Ship Product File.
Entry Facility	Entry Facility Handling Unit	2%	An Entry Facility Handling Unit Error is logged when the entry facility as included in the eDoc (Locale Key or Postal Code) of a handling unit, without a container, is not a valid Postal Service location in the Facility File of Drop-Ship Product File.
Unlinked Copal	Unlinked Copal	5%	An Unlinked Copal Error is logged when a tray/virtual sack is marked for copalletization at origin but no eDoc is submitted with the tray/virtual sack on a pallet. This verification is logged against the handling unit (either tray or virtual sack) and is checked against the error threshold by comparing the number of handling units with an unlinked copal error / total number of handling units. This was previously called an OCI error.
* Note: A custom By/For Error threshold may be set for a mailer who accepts more than 5% of volume from small mailers presenting less than 5,000 pieces per mailing.
