Assessment Calculation Example Results

Monthly Full-Service Verification Results:

 

The process to calculate Unlinked Copal verification results and assessments is below:

1. Error Percentage Calculation:

 

Error Percentage	=	# 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
	=	5.26%

2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation:

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.

 

Number of eDoc Full-Service pieces nested to handling units above error threshold: 190,350 pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# Pieces Above Error Threshold	x	Full-Service Discount Claimed
	=	190,350 Pieces x $.003
	=	$571.05
