Appendix A – Changes to Version 1

1.	
Mailers (External)
PostalOne! Release 26.0.0 will be deployed to introduce software upgrades to the system, primarily to support the Postal Service’s exigent Price Change.  The PostalOne! system will be modified to comply with new prices and structures effective January 2, 2011. The system’s output screens, reports, and downloads in all modules of the PostalOne! system will be updated to support the new prices and structures. The system will support old prices for a period of 120 days past the implementation date.  Critical issues identified from previous releases will be corrected in this release.
The following items will be included in PostalOne! Release 26.0.0 and are of interest to external users of the PostalOne! system.
1.1	Accounts
1.1.1	Balance & Fees
Mailers can now view their Balance and Fees page even if opening the page results in more than one thousand (1000) associated permits. Previously, users received an error message if an attempt was made to view more than this number. To use the balance and fees feature, click Balance & Fees (PostalOne!) on the Business Customer Gateway. 59448
The Balance and Fees Report will be updated to add and display the CRID, if available, in addition to the permit number wherever the permit number is displayed.  63594
The system will display International Addresses for Location, except Periodicals, in the Mailer Balance and Fees page.  64073

1.1.2	Manage Permits
The PostalOne! system will return a list of Permits (number and type) associated with a CRID when queried for customers registering for pricing incentives.  A message will be provided if no permits are associated with a CRID.  The system will also provide the CRID associated with a permit number and type, when available.  If no CRID exists for that permit, a corresponding message will appear.  59892, 61286, 61287, 61288, 61289

1.1.3	Mailer Identification (MID)
When MID web service is interrupted, the system will generate email alerts to notify the recipients that the MID web service is down.  57276

1.2	Mail & Transport
1.2.1	CAPS
The system will update the two-letter transaction identifiers at the end of the transaction number for CAPS transactions and reversal transactions.  This update will modify CAPS activities such as Close Account Package, High Transaction Amounts report, ACH Debit Payment, and the Web-CAPS Account Inquiry Help page.  62402, 62403, 62404, 62405, 62406, 62407, 62408, 62409, 62820
1.2.2	Electronic Data Exchange
Users participating in electronic data exchange with the US Postal Service should reference the Postal Service Mail.dat Technical Specification and Postal Service Mail.XML Technical Specification for Postage Payment and Reporting (eDoc).
1.2.2.1	Mail.dat
The changes in the following sections apply to customers participating in electronic data exchange using Mail.dat as a means of electronic submission: 
1.2.2.1.1	Mail.dat Client Application
As a reminder, with this release it is required that mailers download the new Mail.dat client application. The latest Mail.dat application is available for download from the Electronic Data Exchange page, accessed from the Business Customer Gateway.
The Mail.dat client comes with a Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that is packaged into the client for ease of installation and use.  The Mail.dat client will be upgraded to include Java Runtime Environment (JRE) version 1.6.14 from the current version JRE 1.5.09.  This will affect the ability for the auto-update functionality for Release 26 to work.  Users must remove their previous installation and install the new client manually.  Users who modified their configuration to use alternate JREs should apply these changes again after installing the new version of the client.

1.2.2.1.2	Mail.dat Processing
a.	General
The following table lists limitations of the system associated with Mail.dat Version 09-1:
Limitation	Workaround	
Cannot process Standard Mail parcels.	Use Mail.dat version 11-1	
All Standard Mail flats are Not a catalog.	Use Mail.dat version 11-1	
Cannot use Move Update Method value 8 = OneCode ACS™.	Use Mail.dat version 11-1	
Cannot use new Container Levels and Package Levels for optional FSS preparation.	Use existing SCF and 5-digit levels for facilities with FSS machines. For optional FSS preparation use Mail.dat version 11-1.
	
Cannot use Delivery Statistics Date.	Use Mail.dat version 11-1	
Cannot access price incentive types.	Use Mail.dat version 11-1	

The following are the new fields and field values in the Mail.dat 11-1 file:
1.	Use the HDR IDEAlliance Version value 11-1
2.	SEG eDoc Sender CRID (renamed 9-1 field Mail Facility ID)
3.	SEG Move Update Method added value 8 = OneCode ACS™
4.	SEG added new field Delivery Statistics File Date
5.	MPU Postal Price Incentive ID added new field not used at this time.
6.	MPU Postal Price Incentive type added new field not used at this time.
7.	MPU Standard Parcel Type for a Standard Mail parcel, must designate M = Marketing or F = Fulfillment
8.	MPU Standard Flat Type for a Standard Mail flat, must designate C = Catalog and N = Not a Catalog. This is a new postage statement generation variable and will appear as a processing category on the postage statement.
9.	CPT Postal Price Incentive ID added new field not used at this time.
10.	CPT Postal Price Incentive type If applicable select for First-Class Mail A = Reply Rides Free. If applicable, select for Standard Mail B = Saturation/HD Total or C = Saturation/HD SCF.
11.	CPT Content of Mail If applicable for First-Class Mail select A = Reply Envelope or Reply Card, B = Contents NOT required to be mailed FCM, C = DVD/CD (media) or combinations: A1 = A and B, A2 = A and C, A3 = A, B, and C, B1 = B and C. If applicable for Standard Mail select C = DVD/CD (media), E = Product Sample or combination: C1 = C and E.
12.	CPT Standard Parcel Type Set to same value as in MPU Standard Parcel Type
13.	CPT Standard Flat Type Set to same value as in MPU Standard Flat Type.
14.	CSM Container Type new value AB will not be accepted by the Postal Service.
15.	CSM Container Level new values for FSS processing E = FSS Sort Plan and F = FSS Facility. For Periodicals container charges, E will charge the 5-digit level and F will charge the SCF level.
16.	CQT Rate Category: added for Standard Mail Letters A1 = Nonautomation Saturation – ECR and B1 = Nonautomation High Density – ECR.
17.	PQT Package Level added X for FSS Sort Plan For Periodicals bundle charges X will charge the 5-digit level.
18.	PQT Unique Characteristics This field is not used at this time.
19.	PDR Move Update Method added value 8 = OneCode ACS™
The following Mail.dat fields have new lengths for 11-1 existing and new fields
File	Field	New Length	
.csm	Container Type	2	
.csm	Entry Point for Entry Discount – Facility Type	2	
.mpu 	Rate Type	2	
.cpt	Rate Type	2	
.pqt	Number of Copies	5	
.pqt	Number of Pieces	5	
.pqt	Package Level	2	
.pqt	Unique Characteristic	2	
.seg	Delivery Statistics File Date	8	

The system will be modified to identify pieces based on a unique combination of Segment ID and MPU ID from Mail.dat jobs with multiple Segments where the same MPU ID is repeated in different Segments.  This will ensure that pieces are not multiplied across statements with the same MPU ID used.  The total piece count, total weight, and postage will be correct. Previously, the total piece count, total weight, and postage were overstated because pieces were multiplied across statements.  63934
•	Package Services
Mail.dat processing will be modified to correct the line postage on Mail.dat Bound Printed Matter jobs with non-identical piece prices.  The system will display the piece price and the pound price for the line if there is a unique piece price for that line, or 'Multiple’ if there are multiple different piece prices for the line (and same for piece weights on that line).  The No. of Pieces, No. of Pounds, and Total Postage will be correctly stated for lines with non-identical piece prices. Previously one arbitrarily chosen piece price and pound price was displayed and the No. of Pieces, No. of Pounds, and Total Postage were understated.  63762
•	Periodicals
The Periodical Issue Date field in the .cpt file was required for all Periodicals jobs; however, the requirement was not enforced. Validation now fails all Periodicals jobs that do not have this field populated. Previously, Periodicals jobs passed validation and postage statements were successfully finalized when the field was blank. 61292
The PostalOne! system will include the correct subscriber and non-subscriber counts on Periodicals postage statements. Previously, subscriber and nonsubscriber counts were incorrect for Mail.dat jobs that included Addressed Supplements, though postage was correct. 59866
The system will be modified to round the total pounds less than one pound up to one pound on Mail.dat files submitted with In-County Periodicals.  Previously anything less than .049 pounds was being rounded down to zero, displaying zero pounds on the statement.  63774
The system will update Mail.dat Periodicals Limited Circulation rate types Y (Regular Limited Circulation) and W (Science of Agriculture Limited Circulation) mailings to apply the Full-service discount when applicable.  63785
The system will be modified to store container information on the child (billable) postage statement as well as on the verification statement for a manual combined Periodicals mailing. Previously, the system stored the container information only on the verification statement.  63066

The PostalOne! system no longer supports Letter Paid as Flat Rate Categories (.cqt Rate Categories AF, BF, KF, DF, NF, GF) for Periodicals and Pending Periodicals.  The changes to Heavy Letter Periodicals apply to all Mail.dat 08-2, 09-1, and 11-1 file submissions, regardless of the .csm Container Ship Date (08-2) or .csm Postage Statement Mailing Date (09-1 and 11-1).  Heavy letters will be mapped to Periodicals postage statement lines as follows. In this table the .seg Class Defining Preparation has value 2 = Periodicals, the .seg Principal Processing Category has value LT = Letters, the Version Weight calculated from component weights must be less than 16 oz.
Section	.cqt Periodicals Not County / In County	.cqt Rate Category	.csm Container Level	.pqt Package Level	
Part A 
In-County Nonautomation Letter Piece Prices	I = In-County	G = 5-Digit Non Barcode

Part D
Outside-County Firm Bundle Letter Bundle Prices	N = Outside-County	N/A	As mapped in the Postal Service Mail.dat Technical Specification Table C- 13. Container Level Values	A = 
Firm Bundle	
•	Flats Sequencing System (FSS) Preparation
The PostalOne! system shall support FSS preparation for Mail.dat jobs for all classes of mail with .seg Principal Processing Category value FL = Flats, .csm Container Type value equivalent to pallet, .pqt Package Level value X = FSS and .csm Container Levels values E = FSS Sort Plan and F = FSS Facility. For non Periodicals mail classes, .csm Entry Point for Entry Discount - Facility Type must be value S = DSCF.  For Periodicals mail class, .csm Entry Point for Entry Discount - Facility Type must be value S = DSCF or R = ADC. [SRS 431: REQ 24 and REQ 27]
•	Pricing for Outside County Periodicals prepared as FSS
The PostalOne! system shall support bundle and container prices for Outside County Periodicals prepared as FSS and mapped to Periodicals postage statement lines as follows for all applicable sack, tray and pallet types per the current mapping. For this table .seg Class Defining Preparation has value 2 = Periodicals, .seg Principal Processing Category has value FL = Flats, and .cqt Periodicals Not County / In County has value N = Outside County. It is understood that .csm Entry Point for Entry Discount - Facility Type value R with description ADC is destination ADC or DADC.
Section	3541 Statement Line	.csm Entry Point for Entry Discount - Facility Type	.csm Container Level	.pqt Package Level	
Part D
Outside County Bundle Prices	D15 for 5-digit, 5-digit container	Na	E = FSS Sort Plan	X = FSS

Part E
Outside County Container Prices	E44 for 5-digit DADC	R = ADC	E = FSS Sort Plan	X = FSS	
Part E
Outside County Container Prices	E45 for  5-digit SCF	S = DSCF	E = FSS Sort Plan	X = FSS	
b.	Uploads
•	First-Class Mail
The PostalOne! system only stores the .cpt Content of Mail field for First-Class Mail when certain conditions are met; otherwise, the field is ignored and not stored in the Postal Wizard tables.  The system will store the field value when: 
1)	The .cpt Component – Class is set to 1 (First-Class Mail);
2)	The .cpt Component – Processing Category is set to LT (Letters); and
3)	The .cpt Content of Mail is set to A (Reply Envelope Or Reply Card), B (Not Required As FCM Contents Only), C (DVD/CD (media)), A1 (A and B), A2 (A and C), A3 (A, B and C), or B1 (B and C).

NOTE: Mailers can submit Mail.dat 11-1 version files with multiple .cpt Content of Mail field values within a single Mail.dat job.
•	Standard Mail
The PostalOne! system only stores the .cpt Content of Mail field for Standard Mail when certain conditions are met; otherwise, the field is ignored and not stored in the Postal Wizard tables.  The system will store the field value when: 
1)	The .cpt Component – Class is set to 3 (Standard Mail);
2)	The .cpt Content of Mail is set to C (DVD/CD (media)), E (Product Sample), or C1 (C and E).

NOTE: Mailers can submit Mail.dat 11-1 version files with multiple .cpt Content of Mail field values within a single Mail.dat job. 
c.	Validations
The Postage Payment Option field in the .mpa file is now required. Jobs that do not have this field populated now fail validation. Previously, jobs validated and uploaded successfully when this field was blank. 61294
All mailings that claim a Mixed ADC Sack/Tray when the Entry Point for Entry Discount – Facility type field in the Container Summary (.csm) file is not set to C, E, K, J, L, or O now fail validation. A new error message has been added to support this validation. The new message is: For Mixed ADC Trays/Sacks, the CSM Entry Point for Entry Discount - Facility Type contains an invalid value; it must contain C, E, K, J, L, or O.  56997
The following are the new validations in the Mail.dat 11-1 file since Not Flat Machinable (NFM) is no longer valid after the price change.
SEG Principal Processing Category cannot be values for NFM (NA or NB) after Jan 2, 2011.
2.	MPU Mail Piece Unit - Processing Category cannot be values for NFM (NA or NB) after Jan 2, 2011.
3.	CPT Component -Processing Category cannot be values for NFM (NA or NB) after Jan 2, 2011.
4.	CQT Rate Category NFM values are not accepted after the Jan 2, 2011 price change NG = 5-Digit, NK = SCF, N5 = NDC, N6 = Mixed NDC.

All support for Standard Mail NFM is removed in Mail.dat versions 9-1 and 11-1 so the following error message is removed.
1.	Error Code 3661 For .cqt File Processing, the .cqt Rate Category contains an invalid value; it must contain NG, NK, N5, and N6 for Standard Mail - NFM.

All support for Priority Mail is removed in Mail.dat versions 9-1 and 11-1 so the following error messages are removed.
1.	Error Code 1154 For .cqt File Processing, the .cqt Zone contains an invalid value; it must contain 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or 8 for Priority Mail.
2.	Error Code 1161 For .cqt File Processing, the .cqt Rate Category contains an invalid value; it must contain S for Priority Mail.
•	Mailing Date 
Mail.dat 08-2 files may be used to enter or update postage statements with mailing dates before the January 2011 price change. Mail.dat 08-2 files cannot have .csm Container Ship Date values on or after the January 2011 price change date. (Note: for 08-2 files, the Container Ship Date is used as the Postage Statement Mailing Date.)

Mail.dat 09-1 files may be used to enter or update postage statements with mailing dates before the January 2011 price change. Mail.dat 09-1 files may be used to enter or update postage statements with mailing dates after the January 2011 price change. For Mail.dat 09-1 files, the .csm Postage Statement Mailing Date field values cannot span the price change date; within a job, these dates must be all before or all after the price change.

Mail.dat 11-1 files may be used to enter or update postage statements with mailing dates after the January 2011 price change. Mail.dat 11-1 files must have Postage Statement Mailing Date values on or after the January 2011 price change date.  Mail.dat 11-1 files will not be accepted before the January 2011 price change regardless of mailing date.
•	MIR and MSR Files
The PostalOne! system will ignore and not validate or process any Mail.dat .mir or .msr files.

•	IMR  Validation
The PostalOne! system will reject Mail.dat submissions where the sum of the .imr IM Barcode Upper Serialization minus the .imr IM Barcode Lower Serialization plus 1 for all full-service IMR records in the job is either:
a)	20% greater than the larger of either (1) the sum of the .cqt Piece Count for all full-service CQT records or (2) the sum of .cqt Copy Count for all full-service CQT records; or
b)	Less than the smaller of either (1) the sum of the .cqt Piece Count for all full-service CQT records or (2) the sum of .cqt Copy Count for all full-service CQT records.
Full-service IMR records are determined based on the .imr Service Level Indicator of F.  Full-service CQT records are determined based on the .cqt Service Level Indicator of F.

1.2.2.1.3	Mail.dat Postage Statements
When a file is submitted that generates multiple postage statements for multiple mailing dates, the system will be modified to display the number of pallets by mailing date on each individual postage statement instead of the total number of pallets for the entire mailing.  56477
Consolidated Periodicals postage statements having a single piece weight in the mailing will display the actual piece weight based on the calculation from the weights populated in the Component (.cpt) file.  When a mailing has multiple piece weights, the consolidated postage statement shall display “N/A” for the piece weight. Previously, piece weight always displayed “N/A” regardless of piece weight.  59380
•	First-Class Mail
This section identifies changes to the First-Class Mail Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.dat 11-1 specification for the January 2011 price change.
First-Class Mail postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 submissions with .seg Class Defining Preparation set to 1 (First-Class Mail), .hdr Presentation Category set to M (MLOCR) or P (Conventional Presort), and .csm Container Status set to P (Preliminary) or R (Ready to Pay).
Single-Piece First-Class Parcels
Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 files will map to First-Class Single-Piece Parcels with Commercial Prices when the .seg Class Defining Preparation is set to 1 (First-Class Mail), .seg Principal Processing Category is set to PF (Parcel, First-Class), MPU Rate Schedule is blank (Commercial), and the .cqt Rate Category is set to S (Single-Piece).   
Non Single-Piece First-Class Parcels
Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 files will map to First-Class Parcels (not Single-Piece) with Commercial Prices when the .seg Class Defining Preparation is set to 1 (First-Class Mail), .seg Principal Processing Category is set to PF (Parcel, First-Class), MPU Rate Schedule is blank (Commercial), the .cqt Rate Category is not set to S (Single-Piece), and the MPU Mail Piece Unit – Weight is set to less than or equal to 13oz. 
  
The following table displays the new First-Class Mail Part A First-Class Automation and line calculations.  All other First-Class sections and lines will remain the same with the exception of line renumbering to accommodate the new lines below:
Section / Line	PostalOne! Calculation	
Automation Letters – Reply Rides Free 	Calculate Piece Postage	
Full Service Intelligent Mail Option (CD, LT, FL)	Number of pieces that comply	
Full Service Intelligent Mail Option	Total Number of pieces that comply, price discount	
These are the new lines for the Reply Rides Free price incentive program in Part A.  All other First-Class Mail parts and lines will still be generated with the new prices.  In Part A, lines will be renumbered to accommodate the new lines. In this table, Class (.mpu, .cpt, .seg) has the value 1 for First Class Mail and the Rate Type (.mpu, .cpt) is R for Regular.  The price for 2 oz will be charged. If the postage statement is eligible for the Reply Rides Free price incentive program a rebate will be issued. The MPU Weight (.mpu) must be greater than 1oz and less than or equal to 1.2oz to be considered for the Reply Rides Free price incentive program.

•	First-Class Mail Reply Rides Free Incentive
•	Reply Rides Free Identification
Reply Rides Free pieces will be identified in Part A Automation Prices of the First-Class Postage Statement.  All Reply Rides Free pieces are processed at the 2oz rate, but the original weight (over 1oz, less than or equal to 1.2oz) should be the weight stored in the Postal Wizard Tables.  The following nine fields when submitted together will map to Reply Rides Free prices; otherwise, pieces will appear on existing First-Class Part A lines:
#	Mail.dat Field	Values

•	Mixed Reply Rides Free and Non-Reply Rides Free within Mail Piece Unit
The PostalOne! system does not limit the number of reply Components within a single Mail Piece Unit that can qualify for the Reply Rides Free incentive.  Mailers can submit Mail.dat 11-1 version files with multiple Component records with .cpt Price Incentive Type set to A (Reply Rides Free) within a single MPU Mail Piece Unit ID, as associated through the .mcr record.
•	Mixed Reply Rides Free Mail Piece Units with Mail.dat Job
A Mail.dat 11-1 version file with multiple Mail Piece Units can have a mixture of .cpt records with and without the .cpt Price Incentive Type set to A (Reply Rides Free).
•	Standard Mail
This section identifies changes to the Standard Mail Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.dat 11-1 specification for the January 2011 price change. 
Standard Mail postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 submissions with .seg Class Defining Preparation set to 3 (Standard Mail), .hdr Presentation Category set to M (MLOCR) or P (Conventional Presort), .cpt Rate Type set to R (Regular) or N (Nonprofit), and .csm Container Status set to P (Preliminary) or R (Ready to Pay).
•	Standard Parcel Type – Fulfillment Parcels and Marketing Parcels
The January 2011 price change supports new fields, MPU Standard Parcel Type and CPT Standard Parcel Type, to distinguish between Fulfillment Parcels and Marketing Parcels.  These fields will be conditionally required when the .seg Principal Processing Category, MPU Mail Piece Unit – Processing Category, and .cpt Component – Processing Category are set to IR (Irregular Parcels), MP (Machinable Parcels), or NP (Nonmachinable Parcels) to indicate Marketing or Fulfillment Parcels.  This field is ignored (and the file not rejected) under all other mailings.
The MPU Standard Parcel Type and CPT Standard Parcel Type fields are not postage statement generation variables.  These two Parcel Types can be mixed within a single postage statement.
Standard Mail parcel jobs will only be accepted for Mail.dat 11-1.  Mail.dat 09-1 Standard Mail jobs with processing categories for parcels are not supported.  

•	Standard Flat Type – Flat or Catalog
The January 2011 price change supports new fields, MPU Standard Flat Type and CPT Standard Flat Type, to distinguish between Flats (N = Not Catalog) and Catalogs (C = Catalog).  These fields will be conditionally required when the .seg Principal Processing Category, MPU Mail Piece Unit – Processing Category, and .cpt Component – Processing Category are set to FL (Flats).  This field is ignored (and the file not rejected) under all other mailings. 
The MPU Standard Flat Type is a postage statement generation variable. When the value is C = Catalog, the processing category in the header of the postage statement shall be designated Catalog. When the MPU Standard Mail Flat Type value is N = Not Catalog, the processing category in the header of the postage statement shall be designated Flat.  If a Mail.dat job contains both Flats and Catalogs then the system generates at least two separate postage statements one with the header processing category field marked Flat and another with the header processing category field marked Catalog.

•	Standard Mail Section and Line Calculations
The PostalOne! system calculates the Standard Mail line item piece and pound postage when the piece rate and/or pound rate is a non-zero value in the rate table.  The system also calculates the section Subtotals and Totals, as well as the Full-Service Discounts, Detached Address Label Postage, and Nonbarcoded Surcharge Piece Postage for a given section.  The following table outlines the lines calculated for each section of the Standard Mail postage statements planned for January 2011.

•	Package Services Postage Statements
This section identifies changes to the Package Services Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.dat 11-1 specification for the January 2011 price change. 
Package Services postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 submissions with .seg Class Defining Preparation set to 4 (Package Services), .hdr Presentation Category set to P (Conventional Presort), .cpt Rate Type set to B (Bound Printed Matter), F (Media Mail), or L (Library Mail) and .csm Container Status set to P (Preliminary) or R (Ready to Pay).

NOTE: There are no changes to Package Service postage statement mappings in this release. Therefore, no additional sections are included to describe the existing postage statement generation logic.

The following new rounding rule applies for Package Services in both Mail.dat version 9-1 and version 11-1.
For the Class 4 = Package Services and the MPU Processing Category IR = Irregular Parcels, MP = Machinable Parcels, and NP = Nonmachinable Parcels, round all four decimal parcel Mail Piece Unit weights to two decimals using standard rounding rules (0.0049 and down rounds down and 0.0050 and up rounds up).
•	Periodicals Postage Statements
This section identifies changes to the Periodicals and Pending Periodicals Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.dat 11-1 specification for the January 2011 price change. 
Periodicals postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 submissions with .seg Class Defining Preparation set to 2 (Periodicals), MPU Mail Piece Unit – Class set to 2 (Periodicals), .hdr Presentation Category set to P (Conventional Presort), and .csm Container Status set to P (Preliminary) or R (Ready to Pay).

Pending Periodicals postage statements weighing less than 16oz will continue to be generated for all Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 submissions with .seg Class Defining Preparation set to 2 (Periodicals), MPU Mail Piece Unit – Class set to 5 (Pending Periodicals), .hdr Presentation Category set to P (Conventional Presort),.csm Container Status set to P (Preliminary) or R (Ready to Pay), and the calculated version weight (based on the .cpt Component – Weight) set to less than 16oz.  The PostalOne! system will calculate the corresponding Standard Mail postage. 

Pending Periodicals postage statements weighing 16oz or greater will continue to be generated for all Mail.dat 09-1 and 11-1 submissions with .seg Class Defining Preparation set to 2 (Periodicals), MPU Mail Piece Unit – Class set to 5 (Pending Periodicals), .hdr Presentation Category set to P (Conventional Presort),.csm Container Status set to P (Preliminary) or R (Ready to Pay), and the calculated version weight (based on the .cpt Component – Weight) set to 16oz or greater. The Postal Clerk will enter the Package Service postage upon Postage Statement finalization.
•	PAR Adjustments
The PostalOne! system will complete a .par adjustment against a postage statement of the Permit Holder who submitted the original postage statement.  The system will look up the original Permit Holder to determine whether a full adjustment can be made against a single postage statement.  After the adjustment data is stored, the Postage Statement displays, downloads, and receipts will correctly reflect the adjustment values.  

•	PDR Adjustments for Postage Affixed
The PostalOne! system will support .pdr adjustments for Postage Affixed Standard Mail or First-Class Mail mailings when the .seg Class Defining Preparation is 1 (First-Class Mail) or 3 (Standard Mail) and the .mpa Postage Payment Method is S (Stamp), M (Metered: Neither), L (Metered: Lowest), or C (Metered: Correct).
The following chart outlines how the PostalOne! system determines the amount of postage affixed for each Postage Payment Method.  

Postage Payment Method	Amount of Postage Affixed	
S = Stamp	.mpu Pre-Denominated Amount	
L = Metered Lowest	Lowest priced piece in the mailing; all other mail pieces require additional postage.	
C = Metered Correct	Correct amount affixed to each piece; no additional postage required.	
M = Metered Neither	.mpu Pre-Denominated Amount	

•	PDR Adjustments for Postage Affixed – Wasted Piece Indicator X and T
The PostalOne! system calculates and stores piece and postage adjustment totals based on the value of the .pdr Wasted or Shortage Piece Indicator field for First-Class Mail and Standard Mail Affixed Postage Adjustments, i.e., .pdr Wasted or Shortage Piece Indicator set to X (Wasted piece, no adjustment) or T (Shortage piece, no adjustment).  The following values are calculated for each Postage Statement within a job.
Value Stored	Calculation	
Total Pieces	No Adjustment	
Total Postage	No Adjustment	
Number of Affixed Pieces	Total Pieces – Number of Affixed Pieces	
Affixed Postage	No Adjustment	

•	PDR Affixed Adjustments for Postage Affixed – Wasted Piece Indicator W and S
The PostalOne! system calculates and stores piece and postage adjustment totals based on the value of the .pdr Wasted or Shortage Piece Indicator field for First-Class Mail and Standard Mail Affixed Postage Adjustments, i.e., .pdr Wasted or Shortage Piece Indicator set to W (Wasted piece produced but was spoiled) or S (Shortage piece not produced).  The following values are calculated for each Postage Statement within a job.
Value Stored	Calculation	
Total Pieces	Total Pieces minus Number of .pdr Pieces with Wasted Piece Indicator W or S	
Total Postage	Total Postage minus Calculated Total Spoiled and Wasted Postage (from .pdr records with Wasted Piece Indicator W or S)	
Number of Affixed Pieces	Total Pieces minus Number of Affixed Pieces with Wasted Piece Indicator W or S	
Affixed Postage	No adjustment	
Number of Spoiled /Wasted Pieces	Number of .pdr Pieces with Wasted Piece Indicator W or S	
Spoiled/Wasted Postage Amount	Number of Pieces x Additional Postage per Piece	

•	International Address Fields to Store
The PostalOne! system will store the following International Address fields to provide increased visibility for Inbound International mail for both Mail.dat file and Mail.XML message submissions.  The Mailing Role (Permit Holder, Mailing Agent, and Mail Owner) will be indicated the same way as indicated in current functionality. The system will not store international phone numbers

d.	Mail.XML Postage Statements
•	First-Class Mail
This section identifies changes to the First-Class Mail Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.XML 9.0 Specification for the January 2011 price change.
First-Class Mail postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.XML PostageStatementCreateRequest messages with the FormType within the CreatePostageStatement block set to FC (First-Class Mail).
Single-Piece First-Class Parcels
Mail.XML files will map to First-Class Single-Piece Parcels with Commercial Prices when the FormType within the CreatePostageStatement block is set to FC (First-Class Mail), ProcessingCategory within the CreatePostageStatement block is set to PF (Parcel, First-Class), and the RateCategory within the PostageStatementLineItemData or LineItemSummaryData blocks is set to S (Single-Piece). 
Non Single-Piece First-Class Parcels
Mail.XML files will map to First-Class Parcels (not Single-Piece) with Commercial Prices when the FormType within the CreatePostageStatement block is set to FC (First-Class Mail), ProcessingCategory within the CreatePostageStatement block is set to PF (Parcel, First-Class), and the RateCategory within the PostageStatementLineItemData or LineItemSummaryData blocks is not set to S (Single-Piece).   
Note: First-Class Presorted Parcels will have same price up to 3 ounces, with incremental pricing per successive ounce (after 3 ounces) up to 13 ounces.

•	Conditions to Store the First-Class Mail Content of Mail Field
The PostalOne! system only stores the ContentOfMailType field for First-Class Mail when certain conditions are met; otherwise, the field is ignored.  The system will store the field value when all of the following conditions are met: 
1)	The FormType in the CreatePostageStatement block is set to FC (First-Class Mail);
2)	The ProcessingCategory in the CreatePostageStatement block is set to LT (Letters); and
3)	The ContentOfMailType is set to:
•	A = Reply Envelope Or Reply Card
•	B = Not Required As FCM Contents Only
•	C = DVD/CD (media)
•	A1 = A and B
•	A2 = A and C
•	A3 = A, B and C
•	B1 = B and C

•	Reply Rides Free Incentive
Reply Rides Free pieces will be identified in Part A Automation Prices of the First-Class Postage Statement.  All Reply Rides Free pieces are processed at the 2oz rate, but the original weight (over 1oz, less than or equal to 1.2oz) should be the weight stored in the Postal Wizard Tables.   The following six fields when submitted together will map to Reply Rides Free prices; otherwise, pieces will appear on existing First-Class Part A lines:

#	Mail.XML Field	Values	
1	FormType
in CreatePostageStatement	FC = First-Class Mail	
2	ProcessingCategory
in CreatePostageStatement	LT = Letters	
3	FullServiceParticipationIndicator
in PostageStatementLineItemData	F = Full-Service	
4	SinglePieceWeight 
in PostageStatementLineItemData	> 1oz
≤ 1.2oz	
5	USPSPriceIncentiveType
in DocumentVersionData, LineItemSummaryData, or PostageStatementLineItemData block	PostageAffixedReplyRidesFree	
6	RateCategory
in PostageStatementLineItemData	E = 5-digit BC
H = 3-digit BC
L1 = AADC BC
L2 = MxAADC BC	

•	Full Service Discounts
The existing First-Class Mail postage statement displays the Full-Service discount pieces and postage on a single line in Part A Automation Prices.  The new postage statement for January 2011 will separate the Full-Service discount pieces and postage into three lines based on Processing Category.  
FullServiceLevelIndicator	ProcessingCategory	
F = Full-Service	FL = Flats	
	LT = Letters	
	CD = Cards	

*NOTE: Rate Category S is excluded from the Full-Service Discount.

•	Standard Mail
This section identifies changes to the Standard Mail Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.XML 9.0 Specification for the January 2011 price change.
Standard Mail postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.XML PostageStatementCreateRequest messages with FormType within the CreatePostageStatement block set to SM (Standard Mail) and RateType within the CreatePostageStatement block set to R (Regular) or N (Nonprofit).
•	Standard Mail Parcel Type – Fulfillment and Marketing Parcels
The January 2011 price change supports a new Standard Mail indicator, the MarketingORFulfillmentType field within the LineItemSummaryData or PostageStatementLineItemData blocks, to distinguish between Fulfillment Parcels (Fulfillment) and Marketing Parcels (Marketing).  This indicator is conditionally required whenever the ProcessingCategory field within the CreatePostageStatement block is populated with a Parcel Processing Category:  IR (Irregular Parcels), MP (Machinable Parcels), and NP (Nonmachinable Parcels).  This indicator is ignored (and the file not rejected) under all other mailings.
The MarketingORFulfillmentType field is not postage statement generation variable.  This field can be populated with both Fulfillment and Marketing within a single postage statement

•	Standard Flat Type – Flat or Catalog
The January 2011 price change supports the new field StandardFlatType in the LineItemSummaryData and PostageStatementLineItemData blocks of the PostageStatementCreateRequest message to distinguish between Flats (Not Catalog) and Catalogs (Catalog).  This field will be conditionally required when the ProcessingCategory in the CreatePostageStatement block is set to FL (Flats).  This indicator is ignored (and the file not rejected) under all other mailings.
The StandardFlatType field is a postage statement generation variable.  These two StandardFlatType values, Catalog and Not Catalog, cannot be mixed within a single postage statement

•	Conditions to Store the Standard Mail Content of Mail Field
The PostalOne! system only stores the ContentOfMail field for First-Class Mail when certain conditions are met; otherwise, the field is ignored and not stored in the Postal Wizard tables.  The system will store the field value when all of the following conditions are met: 
1)	The FormType in the CreatePostageStatement block is set to SM (Standard Mail); and 
2)	The ContentOfMailType is set to C = DVD/CD (media); E = Product Sample; or C1 = C and E.
•	Letters Paid as Flats Not Supported
As of the January 2011 price change, Mail.XML submissions with a PostageStatementMailingDate on or after the price change date will not support Letter Paid As Flat Rate Categories (AF, BF, DF, GF, or KF) for Standard Mail.  PostageStatementCreateRequest messages with the FormType set to SM (Standard Mail), the ProcessingCategory set to LT (Letters), and a Nonautomation or Carrier Route RateCategory will map to a configurable Rate Table

Nonautomation Rate Categories	Carrier Route Rate Categories	
L7 = AADC Non-Barcode
L8 = Mixed AADC Non-Barcode
G = 5-Digit Non-Barcode
K = 3-Digit Non-Barcode
L5 = ADC Non-Barcode
L6 = Mixed ADC Non-Barcode	A = Saturation ECR
B = High Density ECR
D = Basic ECR (Carrier Route)	

•	Standard Mail Price Incentives
USPS will offer price incentives to mailers who meet qualification requirements for certain mailings.  The PostalOne! system will mark submitted postage statements as eligible for a percentage of postage rebate  when the USPSPriceIncentiveType in the LineItemSummaryData, PostageStatementLineItemData, or DocumentVersionData blocks is set to one of the following values:

Price Incentive	FormType	RateType	USPS PriceIncentiveType 	
Percentage of postage rebate for a Saturation / High Density Price Category mail volume increase in a certain SCF market over a base year	SM = 
Standard Mail	R = Regular
N = Nonprofit	Saturation-HDSCF
	
Percentage of postage rebate for a Saturation / High Density Price Category mail volume increase in the total market over a base year	SM = 
Standard Mail	R = Regular
N = Nonprofit	Saturation-HDTotal	

•	Standard Mail Section and Line Calculations
The PostalOne! system calculates the Standard Mail line item piece postage and pound postage when the piece rate and/or pound rate is a non-zero value in the rate table.  The system also calculates the section Subtotals and Totals, as well as the Full-Service Discounts, Detached Address Label Postage, and Nonbarcoded Surcharge Piece Postage for a given section.  The following table outlines the lines calculated for each section of the Standard Mail postage statements as of the January 2011 RATES.VIEW_3602_STANDARD table:

•	Package Services
This section identifies changes to the Package Services Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.XML 9.0 Specification for the January 2011 price change.

•	Package Services Postage Statements
Package Services postage statements will continue to be generated for all Mail.XML PostageStatementCreateRequest messages with FormType within the CreatePostageStatement block set to BP (Bound Printed Matter) or ML (Media Mail / Library Mail).  Mail.XML will no longer support Package Services Parcel Post mailings with the PostageStatementMailingDate within the CreatePostageStatment block set to the price change date or a later date.

•	Periodical Postage Statements
This section identifies changes to the Periodical and Pending Periodical Postage Statement due to the implementation of the new Mail.XML 9.0 Specification for the January 2011 price change.

•	Periodical Heavy Letters

The PostalOne! system no longer supports Letter Paid as Flat Rate Categories (RateCategory AF, BF, DF, and GF) for Periodicals and Pending Periodical submitted in the PeriodicalStatementCreateRequest and ConsolidatedPeriodicalStatementCreateRequest messages.  The changes to Heavy Letter Periodicals apply to all Mail.XML versions, regardless of PostageStatementMailingDate within the CreatePeriodicalStaetment or PeriodicalStatement blocks.  Heavy letters will be mapped to Periodical Statement lines as follows (when the FormType is PE = Periodicals, ProcessingCategory is LT = Letters, and VersionWeight less than 16 ounces):
Section	InOutCountyIndicator	RateCategory	ChargeableContainerLevel	CharegeableBundleLevel

1.2.3	Postal Wizard
The changes in the following sections apply to customers participating in electronic data exchange using the Postal Wizard as a means of electronic submission: 
The Postal Wizard system will be modified to comply with new prices and structures as specified in the Federal Register, Domestic Mail Manual (DMM) and the Price List (Notice 123).  The system’s output screens, reports, and downloads Postal Wizard module of PostalOne! will be updated to support the new prices, fees and structure for International Mail products:  International Surface Air Lift (ISAL), International Priority Airmail (IPA), Express Mail International (EMI), Priority Mail International (PMI), and Global Bulk Economy (GBE).  63077, 63078, 63079, 63080, 63081
The system will be updated to supply the CRID, if available, of the Permit Holder, Mail Preparer, and Mail Owner in addition to the permit number if available in Postal Wizard.  63107 63108 62235 62234
Nomenclature will be changed for the Priority Mail Flat Rate products for consistency throughout the system (hyphen removed, Regular/Medium changed to Medium).  62176, 62180, 62183, 62186, 62189, 62192
The system will display International Addresses or urbanization for PR in Postal Wizard when the address occurs in Account Management.  64117

1.2.3.1	Complete Forms
The Permit Selection page for Domestic and International postage statements will be updated to add and display the CRID, if available, in addition to the permit number wherever the permit number is displayed.  63506 63507
The system will be modified to support Global Express Guarantee (GXG) mailings.  Part G of the International Mail postage statement will be updated to add GXG.  The transaction number will be appended with "MG" for a GXG transaction and "GR" for a GXG transaction reversal. Accounting Identifier Code (AIC) 244 will be used to reflect GXG mailings.  The system will allow Permit Imprint (Pi) and Official Mail Accounting System (OMAS) Imprint (OI) as payment types for GXG mailings. The pricing will be based on the mailpiece weight from 0.5 lbs up to 70 lbs according to country weight limitations. The link and heading will be changed to Global Shipping Software - Global Express Guaranteed (GXG).  The GXG pages will have the same format as the other International Mail pages of the postage statement.  Users will be allowed to enter any number of GXG mailpieces; however, a warning will appear if fewer than 200 pieces or 50 lbs. are entered.   The system will provide an error message if postage entered is less than the minimum postage allowed or greater than the maximum postage allowed per the GXG price chart for manifest and nonidentical weight mailings; otherwise the system will provide the correct postage.  If an active ICM agreement exists, the system will allow and apply the discount. 62597, 62605, 62606m 62607, 62608, 62609, 62610, 62611
The system will be updated to support Mailer entry of Part Q of the International Mail postage statement (3700) through Postal Wizard.  The single-piece weight field will not be available for data entry; all mailings will be considered non-identical.  Users will be able to enter pieces, pounds and postage.  Validations for minimum and maximum will occur.  62078, 62079, 62080, 62081, 62082, 62083, 62084
1.2.3.1.1	Data Entry

Mail.dat Postage Statements	Add	The following sections were added to Mail.dat Postage Statement section of the release notes:

•	PAR Adjustments
The PostalOne! system will complete a .par adjustment against a postage statement of the Permit Holder who submitted the original postage statement.  The system will look up the original Permit Holder to determine whether a full adjustment can be made against a single postage statement.  After the adjustment data is stored, the Postage Statement displays, downloads, and receipts will correctly reflect the adjustment values.  

•	PDR Adjustments for Postage Affixed
The PostalOne! system will support .pdr adjustments for Postage Affixed Standard Mail or First-Class Mail mailings when the .seg Class Defining Preparation is 1 (First-Class Mail) or 3 (Standard Mail) and the .mpa Postage Payment Method is S (Stamp), M (Metered: Neither), L (Metered: Lowest), or C (Metered: Correct).
The following chart outlines how the PostalOne! system determines the amount of postage affixed for each Postage Payment Method.  

Postage Payment Method	
Amount of Postage Affixed	

S = Stamp	
.mpu Pre-Denominated Amount	

L = Metered Lowest	
Lowest priced piece in the mailing; all other mail pieces require additional postage.	

C = Metered Correct	
Correct amount affixed to each piece; no additional postage required.	

M = Metered Neither	
.mpu Pre-Denominated Amount	

•	PDR Adjustments for Postage Affixed – Wasted Piece Indicator X and T
The PostalOne! system calculates and stores piece and postage adjustment totals based on the value of the .pdr Wasted or Shortage Piece Indicator field for First-Class Mail and Standard Mail Affixed Postage Adjustments, i.e., .pdr Wasted or Shortage Piece Indicator set to X (Wasted piece, no adjustment) or T (Shortage piece, no adjustment).  The following values are calculated for each Postage Statement within a job.

•	Standard Flat Type – Flat or Catalog
	Change	The release note for MPU Standard Flat Type was changed
From:
The MPU Standard Flat Type and CPT Standard Flat Type fields are postage statement generation variables.  If a Mail.dat job contains both Flats and Catalogs then the system generates at least two separate postage statements one with the header processing category field marked Flat and another with the header processing category field marked Catalog.
To:
The MPU Standard Flat Type is a postage statement generation variable. When the value is C = Catalog the processing category in the header of the postage statement shall be designated Catalog. When the MPU Standard Mail Flat Type value is N = Not Catalog, the processing category in the header of the postage statement shall be designated Flat.  If a Mail.dat job contains both Flats and Catalogs then the system generates at least two separate postage statements one with the header processing category field marked Flat and another with the header processing category field marked Catalog.
