For MPE scans, the system attempts to re-associate undocumented scans to eDoc on both the seventh and tenth day after the scan was first received. For sampling scans, the system attempts to re-associate the FS-IMD to an eDoc every day for the full 45-day barcode uniqueness period after the scan was initially received. This period avoids undocumented pieces being reported on the Scorecard if there is a temporary issue with eDoc upload, or for continuous mailers who submit eDoc the following day. Undocumented pieces are reported on the Mailer Scorecard after this 3-day re-association has expired. If no match is found, the system continues to attempt to re-associate both sampling scans and MPE scans for 3 days after the scan was received. The MID, STID, and Serial Number contained in the IMb are compared to the eDoc to determine if a piece is undocumented. An Undocumented Error is logged when a barcode gathered during sampling (with FS-IMD scanners) or MPE scan could not be linked to any eDoc submitted within the last 45 days. It is a requirement for Seamless Acceptance for all pieces with an IMb to be linked to any eDoc submitted within the previous 45 days. 5-2.8.1 Undocumented (Piece) Verification 5-2.8.1.1 Description Error thresholds are explained further in Appendix A.

All pieces with errors in excess of an error threshold may be subject to postage assessment. For Seamless Acceptance mailings, the Postal Service uses error thresholds for all census verifications plus undocumented pieces identified during sampling. 5-2.8 Verifications Using Error ThresholdsĮrror thresholds are a method to measure mailer quality across all pieces mailed in a calendar month.
