Assessment Calculation Example Results

Monthly Full-Service Verification Results:

 

Error Level	Error Type	# of Errors	# eDoc Full-Service Pieces	Error Percentage	Error Threshold	Errors Above Error Threshold
Piece	MID	1,486,000	71,250,400	2.09%	2.00%	60,992

The process to calculate MID Piece error verification results and assessments is below:

1. Error Percentage Calculation:

 

Error Percentage	=	# of Full-Service Pieces with MID Piece Errors in eDoc
		Total # of Full-Service Pieces Submitted in eDoc
	=	1,486,000 Pieces
		71,250,400 Pieces
	=	2.09%

2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation:

 

# Pieces Above Error Threshold	=	# of Full-Service Pieces with Barcode Uniqueness Errors in eDoc	-	(	Total # of Full-Service Pieces Submitted in eDoc	x	Error Threshold Percentage	)
	=	1,486,000 Pieces	-	(71,250,400 Pieces x .02 )
	=	60,992 Pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# Pieces Above Error Threshold	x	Full-Service Discount Claimed
	=	60,992 Pieces x $.003
	=	$182.98
