Error Threshold

Description

(Extra) Undocumented

0.00%

An Undocumented Error is logged when a scanned Intelligent Mail container barcode (IMcb) is not found in any eDoc or is included in an eDoc and associated to a postage statement in EST status. Continuous Mailers have a 10-day grace period to upload the eDoc after the container is scanned. No additional verifications are performed on Undocumented containers.

Payment

0.00%

A Payment Error is logged when the postage statements for a scanned container are not in a FIN or FPP status.

Duplicate

0.17%

A Duplicate Error is logged when the same IMcb is used on two or more containers within 45 days of the eDoc Postage Statement Mailing Date. An error is logged for the second and any subsequent containers received on a different appointment.

Misshipped

1.05%

A Misshipped Error is logged when the container is scanned at an incorrect entry location, per the Mail Direction File. The correct entry location is based on the Container Destination ZIP and container-level entry facility type provided in the eDoc. Misshipped Errors are only logged on containers that claim a destination entry discount.

Entry Point Discount

0.5%

An Entry Point Discount Error is logged when one or more pieces on a container claim an entry discount level that is not available at the location where the container was entered. The Mail Direction File defines the available entry discount levels for each entry location. EPD Errors are only logged on containers that claim a destination entry discount.

Zone Discount

(Periodicals and BPM Only)

0.01%

A Zone error is logged when one or more pieces on a container claim a lower entry Zone than the Zone calculated between the location where the container was entered and the destination from the eDoc. Zones are defined using the Postal Service Zone chart. Zone errors are only logged on containers that claim a zone discount.
