SUBJECT : RECONCILIATION SUMMARY TESTING AVAILABLE
DATE : 02/02/1999
WE WISH TO ADVISE YOU THAT THE NEW RECONCILIATION SUMMARY TRANSACTION
FOR ABI, THE 'RA' TRANSACTION, WILL BE READY FOR FILER TESTING IN THE
ACS PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1999. BEGINNING
ON FEBRURARY 3, FILERS WILL BE ABLE TO SUBMIT RECONCILIATION SUMMARIES
(ENTRY TYPE '09') VIA THE NEW 'RA' TRANSACTION USING THE ABI TEST PORT
'8888' FACILITY. THOSE FILERS OR SOFTWARE VENDORS WISHING TO DO SO MAY
TEST THEIR ABI PROGRAMMING FOR THE RECONCILIATION SUMMARY AT THAT TIME
USING THEIR '8888' FILER CODE DATA AND USING '8888' AS THE PORT OF THE
RECONCILIATION SUMMARY.
WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL FILERS WHO PLAN TO FILE RECONCILIATION SUMMARIES
TO TEST THEIR SOFTWARE FOR THE 'RA' TRANSACTION IN '8888' WITH US PRIOR TO
SUBMITTING REAL DATA DUE TO THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TRANSACTION. ALTHOUGH
THE NEW ABI TRANSACTION WILL ACCEPT LIVE DATA FOR RECONCILIATION SUMMARIES
FOR THE ACTUAL PARTICIPATING LOCATIONS, WE STRONGLY RECOMMEND TESTING WITH
CUSTOMS BEFORE ATTEMPTING LIVE DATA.
IF YOU ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS DURING TESTING, OR HAVE ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS,
PLEASE CONTACT EITHER YOUR CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE OR MYSELF AT
703-921-7128.
