The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for Unlinked Copal Handling Unit errors. Errors at the handling unit level require an additional step to identify the count of nested pieces prior to the calculation of additional postage due. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for Unlinked Copal Handling Unit.

The process to calculate Unlinked Copal verification results and assessments is below:
=
# of Full-Service Handling Units with Unlinked Copal Errors in eDoc
Total # of Full-Service Handling Units Submitted in eDoc
40 Handling Units
760 Handling Units
For container errors, this is a two-step process. First, the number of handling units above the error threshold is calculated. Then, the number of pieces nested to the handling units above the error threshold is identified.
