Error Percentage	=	# of COA Errors
		# of Move Update Eligible Pieces Submitted in eDoc
	=	2,400 Pieces
		120,000 Pieces
	=	2.00%

2. Pieces Above Error Threshold Calculation

 

# Pieces Above Error Threshold	=	# of COA Errors	-	(	# of Move Update Eligible Pieces Submitted in eDoc	x	Error Threshold Percentage	)
	=	2,400 Pieces	-	(120,000 Pieces x .005 )
	=	1,800 Pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation:

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# Pieces Above Error Threshold	x	Address Quality Assessment Charged
	=	1,800 Pieces x $.08
	=	$144.00
