C-4.3 Assessment Calculation Example for Nesting/Sortation Errors

The example below explains the process and calculation of assessments for Nesting/Sortation (MPE) errors. The mailer in the scenario only exceeds the monthly error threshold for Nesting/Sortation (MPE) errors.

Table C-4.3a

Assessment Calculation Example Parameters

Example Mailer eDoc:

 

Category	Example Parameters
Total Seamless Acceptance pieces in eDoc	113,110
# of Nesting/Sorting Error Pieces	4,580
eDoc Mail Profile	First-Class Letters, under 1 oz., Automation
eDoc Piece Rate	$0.321
Corrected rate	$ 0.423

Table C-4.3b

Assessment Calculation Example Results

Monthly Seamless Acceptance Verification Results:

 

Error Level	Error Type	# of Errors	# eDoc Seamless Acceptance Pieces	Error Percentage	Error Threshold	Errors Above Error Threshold
Pieces	Nesting/Sorting	4,580	113,110	4.05%	1.00%	3,448

The process to calculate Nesting/Sortation (MPE) error verification results and assessments is below:

1. Error Percentage Calculation:

 

Nesting/Sortation Error Percentage	=	# of Seamless Acceptance Pieces with Nesting/Sortation Errors
		# of Seamless Acceptance Pieces Submitted in eDoc
	=	4580 Pieces
		113,110 Pieces
	=	4.05%

2. Piece Above Threshold Calculation

 

Pieces Above Error Threshold	=	# of Seamless Acceptance Pieces with Nesting and Sorting Errors in eDoc	-	(	Total # of Seamless Acceptance Pieces Submitted in eDoc	x	Error Threshold Percentage	)
	=	4,580 Pieces	-	( 113,110 Pieces x .01 )
	=	3,448 Pieces

3. Postage Assessment Calculation

 

Additional Postage Due	=	# of Pieces Above Error Threshold	X	(	Correct Piece Rate	-	eDoc Piece Rate	)
	=	3,448 Pieces	X	($0.423 - $0.321)
	=	$351.70
