ABI Error Message

A FEE CODE OR AMOUNT WAS NOT ENTERED BUT IS REQUIRED BY TARIFF.

8WL:	INVALID CARRIER CODE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE BILL OF LADING UPDATE (LN) TRANSACTION WHEN A FILER SENDS AN INVALID CARRIER CODE IN THE L1 RECORD, POSITIONS 32-35.

EJK:	INVALID TOTAL INVOICE VALUE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION CI). THE C81 RECORD, POS 8-22 (WITH TWO DECIMAL PLACES OCCUPYING THE LAST TWO POSITIONS) DISPLAYS THE TOTAL INVOICE VALUE FOR THE INVOICE BEING TRANSMITTED. THIS FIGURE IS THE SUM OF THE VARIOUS C33 RECORD INVOICE AMOUNTS, WITH ADJUSTMENTS FOR VARIOUS ALLOWANCES AND CHARGES, AS OUTLINED ON PAGE AII-59, NOTE 1. IF THE TOTAL OF ALL C33 AND RELATED RECORDS, ROUNDED TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES, DOES NOT EXACTLY AGREE WITH THE FIGURE REPORTED IN POS 8-22 OF THE C81 RECORD, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

07I:	VESSEL CODE & NAME SUBMITTED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO A CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION HI). ABI WILL ACCEPT THE VESSEL NAME, BUT NOT THE VESSEL CODE. IF BOTH ARE TRANSMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE ISSUED. (NOTE - 5-CHARACTER VESSEL CODES ARE NO LONGER USED).

VA3:	FORM REC TYPE INV/OUT OF SEQ

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN A FDA INTERFACE ENTRY. THE REQUIRED ORDER OF FDA LINES IS: FD01 FD02 FD03 FD04 (OPTIONAL) FD05 (OPTIONAL) IF ONE OF THE RECORDS IS OMITTED (E.G. FD01 THEN FD03) THIS MESSAGE WILL OCCUR.

VMJ:	CANNOT DELETE - WHS/W ASSOCIATED

A REQUEST TO DELETE A WAREHOUSE SUMMARY WAS INVALID BECAUSE WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWALS ARE ASSOCIATED WITH THE SUBJECT SUMMARY.

VA2:	UNKNOWN AGY IN 'OA' DECLARATION

THE OA DECLARATION IS A RECORD IN AN OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY DATA SET IN AN AUTOMATED TRANSACTION. IT IS THE RECORD WHERE A FILER CAN "DISCLAIM" A TARIFF NUMBER FROM OGA DATA. AS OF 5/99 THE PERMITTED OTHER AGENCIES ARE FDA (FD0), FWS (FW0), DOT (DT0) AND FCC (FC0). IN AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION (EI) THE OA RECORD FOLLOWS THE 50 RECORD. IN A CARGO SELECTIVITY TRANSACTION (HI) THE OA RECORD FOLLOWS THE H5 RECORD (FDA, FWS AND DOT). IN A BORDER CARGO SELECTIVITY TRANSACTION (HN) THE OA RECORD FOLLOWS THE 02 RECORD (FDA,FWS,DOT). THE OGA DISCLAIMER IS SENT IN POSITIONS 5-7 OF THE OA RECORD. SUBSEQUENT DISCLAIMERS ARE SENT IN POSITIONS 8-10, 11-13, 14-16 AND 17-19, WHEN APPLICABLE . THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL OCCUR IF THE OTHER AGENCY SENT IN POSITIONS 5-6 (OR 8-9, 11-12, 14-15, 17-18) IS NOT A VALID OGA INTERFACE AGENCY.

RB4:	EXCESS/INVALID FEE COUNT

FOR RECONCILIATION, THE 'R20' ABI INPUT RECORD FEE COUNT IS EITHER NOT NUMERIC (INVALID) OR > 10 (EXCESS). IN OTHER WORDS, POS 78-79 OF THE R20 RECORD MUST SHOW A NUMERIC FIGURE WHICH EQUALS THE NUMBER OF FOLLOWING R21 RECORDS. IF ONE R21 RECORD FOLLOWS THE R20 RECORD, POS 78-79 WOULD BE "01", E.G. IF THE FILER SPACE FILLS THIS ELEMENT BUT TRANSMITS AN R21 RECORD, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT (THE 'INVALID' PART OF THE NARRATIVE). IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A FIGURE GREATER THAN '10', THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT (THE 'EXCESS' PART OF THE MESSAGE). NOTE: IF THE ENTRY IS AN AGGREGATE RECON, AND NO R21 RECORDS ARE TRANSMITTED, THE FILER MUST STILL SHOW '00' IN POS 78-79 OF EACH R20 RECORD.

VA6:	OGA OI REC MAY NOT BE BLANK

THE "OI" RECORD IS USED IN OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY ENTRIES. THE DESCRIPTION IS LOCATED IN THE CATAIR, PAGE OG-11. THIS RECORD IS SENT WHEN THERE IS DATA TO BE SENT (I.E. THE LINE IS NOT "DISCLAIMED"). IF SENT, THE RECORD MUST NOT BE BLANK. THERE MUST BE A COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION SENT (POS 11-80). THE TARIFF DESCRIPTION IS NOT TO BE SENT.

APT:	HARDCOPY IND ALREADY = SENT

NOTIFICATION TO CUSTOMS THAT HARDCOPY MATERIALS HAVE BEEN SENT, INDICATED BY 'S', MAY BE SUBMITTED BY FILER AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO DISPOSITION OF PROTEST OR CLAIM BY CUSTOMS. 'N' INDICATES THAT HARDCOPY MATERIALS DO NOT APPLY. ONCE SET TO 'S' THE HARDCOPY INDICATOR CANNOT BE UN-SET TO 'N'.

VQM:	MISSING IMPORT REFERENCE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCUURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. IF THE CLAIM TYPE INDICATOR IN THE D01 RECORD, POSITION 4 IS A '1' OR '3' AND IF SPACES ARE SENT IN THE IMPORT ENTRY NUMBER FIELD IN THE D10 RECORD, POSITIONS 20-27, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

AQN:	FILING PERIOD BASE DATE INVALID

THE BEGINNING OF THE FILING & AMENDMENT PERIOD FOR A PROTEST, CLAIM OR INTERVENTION CAN BE DETERMINED IN ANY ONE OF SEVERAL WAYS. WHEN PROTESTING DENIAL OF 520(C) OR 520(D) CLAIM IT IS THE DATE OF DENIAL. INTERVENTIONS MAY BE FILED ANYTIME BEGINNING WITH THE FILING OF PROTEST OF ADVERSE COUNTRY OF ORIGIN MARKING DECISION ENDING WITH USCS DECISION. FOR PROTESTS OR CLAIMS RELATED TO ENTRIES, LQUIDATION DATE CONSTITUTES THE START OF THE PERIOD. ANY OTHER CASE REQURES A FILING/AMENDMENT BASE DATE BE SUBMITTED BY THE FILER, TO BE VERIFIED BY USCS. THE VALUE SUBMITTED IN THE FILING PERIOD BASE DATE FIELD IS NOT A VALID DATE.

661:	IMPORTER NUMBER SUFFIX IS INVALID

THE LAST TWO SPACES ON THE IR# FORMAT MAY NOT END IN OO, ZZ OR II.

8VZ:	BILL DATA UPDATED AS REQUESTED

THIS MESSAGE IS AN "ERROR FREE" NOTIFICATION TO THE FILER THAT A BILL OF LADING UPDATE 'LN' TRANSACTION WAS SUCCESSFUL. A SUCCESSFUL BOL UPDATE MEANS THAT THE UPDATE INFORMATION HAS BEEN PASSED TO THE AMS CARRIER AND THAT THE SELECTIVITY FILE HAS BEEN UPDATED.

RBY:	DUPLICATE RECON PORT CODE

VMP:	FINAL WITHDRAWAL INDICATR INVALID

THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE INDICATORS FOR THIS FIELD ARE "0" (NOT FINAL WITHDRAWAL) OR "1" (FINAL WITHDRAWAL). ANY OTHER CHARACTER, INCLUDING A BLANK, WILL GENERATE THIS ERROR MESSAGE. NOTE: IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A FINAL WITHDRAWAL INDICATOR ON ANY OTHER ENTRY TYPE THAN THE 3N SERIES, THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO BE GENERATED.

VEJ:	FC 740:TRADE NAME REQ

AN FCC TRADE NAME OF THE PRODUCT IMPORTED MUST BE SENT IN THE FC01 RECORD, POSITIONS 28-57.

07H:	EST ARRIVAL DATE NOT IN RANGE

EJX:	UNITS MUST BE IN ORDER

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). SHIPPING UNIT IDENTIFICATIONS CAN BE MADE AT TWO LEVELS, IN THE C06/C07 RECORD AND/OR THE C47/C49 RECORDS. IN EITHER CASE, THE OUTER SHIPPING UNIT (USUALLY A CONTAINER) IS IDENTIFIED IN THE C06 RECORD. IF INTERIOR PACKAGING ENTITIES ARE SEPARATELY IDENTIFIED WITHIN A CONTAINER, THOSE IDENTIFIERS ARE REPORTED IN THE C07/C49 REC. EACH OF THESE RECORDS PROVIDES SPACE TO REPORT ONE OR TWO INTERIOR PACKAGING UNIT IDENTIFIERS (OR A RANGE OF IDENTIFIERS). THE INTERIOR PACKAGING IDENTIFERS MUST BE UNIQUE AND MUST BE REPORTED IN ORDER. THAT IS, THE C07 REC, POS 4-20, IS USED TO REPORT THE FIRST PACKAGING IDENTIFIER. THE NUMBER IN THIS FIELD MUST BE DIFFERENT FROM THE UNIT IDENTIFIER IN POS 21-37. FURTHER, DATA CANNOT BE TRANSMITTED IN POS 21-37 UNLESS POS 4-20 IS USED FIRST. WHEN REPORTING RANGES, THE NUMBER OF DIGITS IN THE HIGHEST RANGE MUST BE FOLLOWED FOR ALL RANGES (USE 0001 TO 0800 IF THE HIGHEST NUMBER IN THE RANGE IS 4000, NOT 1 TO 800, 801 TO 1600, FOR EXAMPLE).

ASA:	ENTRY LIST NOT APPLICABLE

ENTRY LIST IS NOT APPLICABLE. THIS MESSAGE MAY BE RETURNED IF AN AMENDMENT OR ADDENDA TRANSACTION IS TRANSMITTED LISTING ENTRIES WITH NO ACTION CODE.

48A:	CONSIGNEE IS FOREIGN BASED

THIS IS A WARNING MESSAGE THAT OCCURS WHEN A FILER SENDS A FOREIGN BASED CONSIGNEE IN A SELECTIVITY TRANSACTION. IT WARNS THE FILER THAT THE ADDRESS FOR THE CONSIGNEE NUMBER IS NOT A U.S. ADDRESS. IN THE FDA INTERFACE THE FDA'S SYSTEM WILL AUTOMATICALLY REJECT THIS TYPE OF CONSIGNEE AND SEND A 'DT' REJECT BACK TO THE FILER. THE FILER MUST THEN OBTAIN A FDA ESTABLISHMENT IDENTIFIER NUMBER (FEI) FROM FDA THROUGH ABI AND SEND THAT NUMBER IN AN OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCY CORRECTION TRANSACTION (CP). THIS MESSAGE IS FOLLOWED BY THE INFORMATIONAL MESSAGE 42F "DATA ADDED WITH WARNINGS".

P11:	FIELD MUST BE NUMERIC

THIS MESSAGE MEANS THAT A NON-NUMERIC CHARACTER WAS PLACED IN A FIELD THAT IS DEFINED AS NUMERIC. THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED DRAWBACK INPUT.

822:	ULT CONSIGNEE NUMBER VOIDED

THIS MESSAGE RESULTS WHEN THE NUMBER CITED IN THE 10 REC, POS 20-30 HAS BEEN FLAGGED AS "VOID" IN THE IMPORTER DATABASE. THE NATIONAL FINANCE CENTER USUALLY VOIDS ULTIMATE CONSIGNEE  NUMBERS. THE MOST COMMON REASON FOR A NUMBER TO BE VOIDED IS THAT IT IS A DUPLICATE FOR THE SAME IMPORTER OR CONSIGNEE. WHEN LOCAL PORTS DISCOVER SUCH DUPLICATIONS, THEY CAN CONTACT THE NFC TO HAVE ONE OF THE NUMBERS VOIDED. ONLY THE NFC CAN REACTIVATE A VOIDED CONSIGNEE NUMBER. THIS MESSAGE ALSO APPLIES TO THE HI (CARGO RELEASE) AND CI (AUTOMATED INVOICE) APPLICATIONS.
