SUBJECT : EIP/RLF ABI MSSG CHANGE
DATE : 02/05/98
TO: ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
A CHANGE HAS BEEN MADE IN THE ABI RESPONSE MESSAGE TO ABI FILERS
OF EIP AND RLF ENTRY SUMMARIES. IT CHANGES THE ABI MESSAGE FOR
TEAM REVIEW EIP AND RLF ENTRY SUMMARIES.
PRIOR TO THIS CHANGE, THE ABI RESPONSE MESSAGE, "PAPERLESS -
RETAIN RECORDS" WAS USED FOR BOTH BYPASS AND TEAM REVIEW EIP
SUMMARIES. THIS CAUSED CONFUSION IF AN EIP OR RLF FILER WAS
USING INVOICE BY REQUEST. THE GENERIC ABI MESSAGE DID NOT LET
THEM KNOW IF THE ENTRY WAS BYPASS OR IF THEY NEEDED TO PROVIDE AN
ELECTRONIC INVOICE FOR AN IMPORT SPECIALIST TEAM REVIEW.
NOW, IF AN EIP OR RLF SUMMARY REQUIRES TEAM REVIEW, THE FOLLOWING
MESSAGE WILL BE SENT TO THE FILER: "ACCEPTED - RECORDS REQUIRED."
BYPASS EIP AND RLF SUMMARIES WILL CONTINUE TO RECEIVE "PAPERLESS
- RETAIN RECORDS."
THE MESSAGE "ACCEPTED - RECORDS REQUIRED" MEANS THE FILER NEEDS
TO TRANSMIT THE INVOICE. THIS IS THE SAME MESSAGE SENT ON
ORDINARY ABI SUMMARIES. IF A FILER RECEIVES AN "ACCEPTED -
RECORDS REQUIRED" MESSAGE FOR AN ORDINARY ABI ENTRY, HE OR SHE
KNOWS TO SUBMIT A HARDCOPY OF THE ENTRY SUMMARY PACKAGE. EIP AND
RLF FILERS KNOW THEY FLAGGED THE ENTRY FOR AN ELECTRONIC INVOICE,
AND IF THEY RECEIVE THE "ACCEPTED - RECORDS REQUIRED" MESSAGE
THEY MUST TRANSMIT AN ELECTRONIC INVOICE TO COMPLETE THEIR
ELECTRONIC ENTRY SUMMARY PACKAGE. THIS WAY AN EIP AND RLF
SUMMARY WILL REMAIN ENTIRELY ELECTRONIC.
ONCE THE INVOICE IS TRANSMITTED, THE IMPORT SPECIALIST TEAM WILL
BE ABLE TO REVIEW THE INVOICE AND PROCESS THE ENTRY THROUGH THEIR
ELECTRONIC INBOX.
