Discontinuance of Manual AIC 541 Entries for Value Added Refund at Retail

As a result of PostalOne! Enhancements, Value Added Refund (VAR) submissions were discontinued at retail windows in fiscal year (FY) 2016. However, we have maintained the ability to process manual AIC entries for VAR transactions in the Retail Systems Software (RSS) and e1412 technology. After evaluating the need for these manual interventions and to ensure consistency in accounting processes, we will disable manual processing of AIC 541 account entries for VAR transactions in all reporting technologies. This change is effective October 20, 2017.

For more information, please refer to our article, “Discontinuance of VAR Refunds at the Retail Window,” in Postal Bulletin 22408, (2-5-15, page 57).

Controller, 10-12-17
