  3. Full-Service ACS is available for: First-Class Mail Letters and Flats Standard Mail Letter and Flats Periodicals Letters and Flats Bound Printed Matter Flats Full-Service ACS data only to Mail Owner or designated party Identified in eDoc Profiles – Static/Dynamic Cast of Characters direct the ACS data when the mail owner wants the mail information to go to a third party Mailers will qualify for no-cost within the specified timeframe address correction notices by participating in full-service and using the provided information to update their address records. Mailers who do not update an address record after notification may be required to pay for subsequent change-of-address (COA) and undeliverable-as-addressed (Nixie) notices. Duplicate COA determination will be based on the provision of the same name/address combination as recorded in the change-of-address record on file. Duplicate Nixie notices will be determined based on the provision of a notice for the same Mailer ID and delivery point (MID + delivery point).
  4. eDoc is the mechanism that governs the distribution of ACS data Mail Owners and Preparers may allow other parties access to their full-service feedback by setting up a MID profile and submitting a Cast of Characters file. It allows a mailer to engage a third-party data recipient to manage only a portion of the data for a specific Mailer ID and service. The mailer must submit a Cast of Characters message to identify the data recipient and mailing-specific information.
  5. Overview
  6. Feedback, Thursday, October 9, 2008 The primary parties to every mailing are the owners who commissioned the mailing and the preparer who actually defines the mailpieces and submits the electronic documentation. Owners may also prepare their own mailings. These parties are referred to as the Mail Owner and the Mail Preparer and are responsible for controlling access to data/information about their mailings. As one of the Full Service requirements, both the Mail Owner and Mail Preparer must be identified in the By/For section of the electronic documentation. Mailer ID, CRID, and Permit Numbers may be used as part of the By/For identification. For the Mail Owner or Mail Preparer to participate in full-service data provisioning to third-parties, the Owner/Preparer must be identified by their Mailer ID in the By/For of the electronic documentation.

  14. The third method of electronic documentation is Mail.XML, which uses eXtensible Markup Language instead of the relational file structure common to Mail.dat. Mail.XML is submitted through the Web Services application to the PostalOne! system. While Mail.XML is not currently used by as many mailers as Mail.dat, the Mail.XML 4-1 release provides much more functionality than it does now. And while it will have similar capabilities and benefits as Mail.dat, there is no licensing fee to use Mail.XML!
  15. Here is a list of different Mail.XML Technical Specification
  16. Mail.XML Push: Web Services Mail.XML Push model where the USPS invokes a customer’s Web Service method/URL and pushes XML data to the customer Web Service when the data is available or a notification is sent to the customer by the USPS that customer’s data is available for download. Mail.XML Pull: Web Services Pull model where customer sends a Web Services based Mail.XML Request message invoking USPS Web Services to pull data in XML format through a Mail.XML Web Service method.
  17. If you want to automatically receive the data as soon as it is ready (Push model), you must have registered your Web Services URL, implemented a WSDL for push (Delivery and Notification) Mail.XML messages, and implemented Authentication and Authorization to authenticate and authorize transactions sent by the PostalOne! system to your server. Within the PostalOne! system, a user interface allows you to provide the information and indicate which messages you want to receive as a Push model. You must have also checked the type of data you want to receive as a Push. All push messages end in the word “Delivery” or in the word “Notification.” The messages that end with the word “Delivery” mean that the message has all the detail data and the customer is receiving the data because the customer registered with the USPS PostalOne! system to receive the detail data as it becomes available. The messages that end with the word “Notification” mean that the message will notify the customer that the “data is ready” to be pulled through Pull Mail.XML mechanism or another approved method. Notification messages will not have detail data. The customer will have the option to choose the push messages that they want the PostalOne! system to use and send the data to the customer. e.g., a customer may decide to use Pull messages for ACS, but may decide to receive continuous feeds of data for Start The Clock “Delivery” message or Nixie “Delivery” message and may choose to receive the notifications through the Notification messages.

On May 11, 2009, the Gateway will support: All PostalOne! services All FAST (Facility Access and Shipment Tracking System) services CLDS (Customer Label Distribution System) Mailer Id (MID) The Gateway will provide unified access to all services under the Full Service umbrella. NOTE: Users request a single service per request. Multiple locations can be added to the service request. Previous Process: The new user route included a short online application followed by a lengthy manual process through the system Help Desk. A Hardcopy 1357c was required to be completed and returned before the access process could begin. The Help Desk needed to create the Usernames and Passwords for all system users. New Process: Online process replaces the hardcopy documents. New Users create their own Usernames and Passwords online. NOTE: Username and Password are BOTH case sensitive in the new registration system!
  27. Previous Process: Manual with Help Desk. New Process: When a new user creates a profile, the system requires a selection account type: Personal or Business. NOTE: Users wanting access to the Business Customer Gateway MUST select Business. (This customer registration system is the standard for all USPS online users. Consumers using USPS.com services also register through this system. Personal accounts are directed to USPS.com after registration. Users can hold both a personal and business account.) Previous Process: Manual with Help Desk. New Process: Users complete their Business Profile information. NOTE: It is extremely important for users wishing to affiliate to the same company to enter their company name and address information consistently. A Customer Registration ID (CRID) is assigned to a business name at an address. Too much variance will result in different CRIDs and will result in company users not being linked to the same business entity. Business Service Administrators need to ensure their company users apply with the same business information that the BSA entered for the desired location.
  28. Previous Process: Manual with Help Desk. New Process: System displays business information for confirmation. Previous Process: Manual with Help Desk – Hardcopy 1357c. New Process: Click through agreement replaces hardcopy 1357c.

New Process: The hardcopy Participation Agreement has been replaced by an electronic Terms & Conditions: click through agreement that the BSA accepts for the Business location. When a user requests access to a Service for a Business Location, the system checks to see if that Service requires a Business Service Administrator (BSA). A Business Service Administrator is the key contact for a Business Location for the management of the selected Service. This includes the approval and deactivation of all additional users for this Service at this business location. If a Service requires an Administrator, the system checks to see if one has already been established. If not, the user requesting access will be notified of the BSA requirement and asked if they will assume the BSA responsibility. If the user agrees to become the BSA the process continues. If they decline, their request will go into a pending status until there is a BSA for this Service at the Business Location. The request is held for 25 days. NOTE: The first user requesting a Service for a Business Location should be the person that will assume the BSA responsibilities. A BSA also has the opportunity to assign additional approved users the BSA role.
