ADMINISTRATIVE MESSAGE 92-0369, DATED 08-27-92, DETAILED THE ABI
PROGRAMMING CHANGES NECESSARY TO PROVIDE CUSTOMS' ACS WITH A PAIRED
ENTRY INDICATOR. IT ALSO STATED THAT THE CHANGES WOULD NOT BE MADE
PART OF PRODUCTION PROCESSING ANY SOONER THAN 90 DAYS FROM THE DATE
OF THE MESSAGE, AND THAT A FOLLOW-UP MESSAGE WOULD BE ISSUED TO
ANNOUNCE THE EXACT DATE WHEN KNOWN.
IT IS NOW KNOWN THAT ACS CANNOT ACCOMMODATE A PAIRED ENTRY INDICATOR
UNTIL THE METHOD ACS USES TO CAPTURE AND STORE BILL OF LADING, AIR
WAYBILL AND IN-BOND DATA IS REDESIGNED. THERE IS NO PROJECTED DATE
FOR THIS REDESIGN, BUT IT IS SURE TO PUSH BACK THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
THE PAIRED ENTRY INDICATOR MANY MONTHS.
BECAUSE OF THIS, EFFORTS TO MODIFY ABI PROGRAMS BASED ON ADMINISTRATIVE
MESSAGE 92-0369 SHOULD BE SUSPENDED UNTIL CUSTOMS CAN BETTER PROJECT
AN IMPLEMENTATION DATE. A NEW MESSAGE WILL BE ISSUED IN THE FUTURE
WHICH WILL SERVE AS THE OFFICIAL 90 DAY NOTIFICATION FOR THE CHANGE.
