Effective March 14, 2007, point-of-service (POS) offices that accept deposits and fees for PostalOne!® sites must follow new procedures due to the implementation of the POS-PostalOne! interface. The new interface integrates the management and posting of Advance Deposit Trust account activity between the two systems. This means employees will post deposit account information only through the POS system.
Before the integration of these two systems, separate entries of payments were required into each system. Payments include both the deposit of funds into Advance Deposit Trust accounts and the payment of fees for accounts.
After the national implementation of the POS-PostalOne! interface, offices will be able to post Advance Deposit Trust account deposits only through POS systems. Deposits will no longer be directly input into the PostalOne! system.
All retail associates and business mail acceptance (BMA) employees affected by the new procedures must ensure that they are aware of the new functionality and are prepared to follow the new procedures on March 14. Training materials for this new functionality are available as follows:
Retail associates have two sources, both available on the POS Web site:

- For the POS-PostalOne! Interface Quick Reference Guide, scroll down to item 12, and click on NCR PostalOne! Quick Reference Guide.
BMA clerks may complete the POS training available on BMA Web site.
