SUBJECT : NEW OPTIONAL RECORD FOR ABI ($A)
DATE : 12/13/1999
BACKGROUND
ADMIN MESSAGE 99-0957 DATED 110499 ADVISED ABI PARTICIPANTS OF ACS
CHANGES TO ACCOMODATE INCREASED IMPORT WORKLOAD. THE MESSAGE
THE MESSAGE EXPLAINED CUSTOMS PLANS TO CHANGE THE WAY THAT ACS
SEQUENCES OR PRIORITIZES TRANSACTIONS. USERS WERE CONCERNED THAT
THEY COULD NOT IDENTIFY THE MANUFACTURER UPDATE WITH THE RELATED
ENTRY/ENTRY SUMMARY. IN AN EFFORT TO RELIEVE CONCERNS THAT NUMEROUS
PAPERLESS RELEASES WOULD BE LOST, ACS HAS PROPOSED THAT AN
OPTIONAL INPUT RECORD $A WOULD BE RETURNED IN THE OUTPUT. THE RECORD
WOULD BE DEFINED AS USERS TEXT. FOR EXAMPLE, IT COULD CONTAIN ENTRY
NUMBERS FOR THE RELATED MANUFACTURER ADD. AGAIN, IT IS AN OPTIONAL
RECORD TO BE DEFINED BY THE USER. ACS WILL NOT EDIT OR VALIDATE
THE DATA, BUT IT WOULD BE RETURNED IN THE OUTPUT RECORD AS $A.
WE WILL LET YOU KNOW WHEN THIS NEW OPTIONAL RECORD IS AVAILABLE.
IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DESIGNATED CLIENT
REPRESENTATIVE OFFICE.
