ABI Error Message

AFE:	BOND TYPE INVALID FOR ELEC INV.

ELECTRONIC INVOICE SUMMARY FILINGS ARE INVALID WITH SINGLE-ENTRY BONDS THIS ERROR CODE FORMERLY REFERRED TO 'PRODUCT ANALYSIS CODE', BUT BOTH THE P/A CODE AND THE FORMER MEANING/USE OF ERROR 'AFE' HAVE BEEN 'ARCHIVED'.

BRI:	BOND NUMBER NOT SAME

THE BOND NUMBER ON ALL IMPORT ENTRIES ASSOCIATED WITH A GIVEN RECONCILIATION SUMMARY (TYPE '09' ENTRY) MUST BE THE SAME. THE BOND MUST BE AN ACTIVITY CODE '1' OR '1A1' BOND. NOTE: IF THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS IN CONJUNCTION WITH ERROR 8PN, THIS MESSAGE MAY NOT BE RELEVANT TO THE ENTRY IN QUESTION. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE ERRS 8PN. NOTE: THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO OCCUR IF MESSAGE 0AA (ENTRY NOT FOUND- MEANING THAT THE ENTRY IN THE IDENTIFIED R20 RECORD IS NOT IN ACS) IS GENERATED. MESSAGE 95I WILL USUALLY OCCUR IN CONJUNCTION WITH MESSAGE 0AA, AS WELL.

546:	EXISTING ENTRY IN CUSTOMS STATUS

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER ATTEMPTS TO TRANSMIT AN ENTRY SUMMARY TRANSACTION FOR AN ENTRY NUMBER THAT IS IN CUSTOMS STATUS. CUSTOMS STATUS MEANS THAT CUSTOMS HAS "PROCESSED" THE ENTRY. THE MOST COMMON SITUATION FOR THIS ERROR IS WHEN A PAYMENT HAS BEEN COLLECTED (BY CHECK, STATEMENT PROCESSING OR ACH) AND THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY DATA. ANOTHER COMMON CAUSE FOR THIS ERROR IS WHEN THE ENTRY NUMBER APPEARS ON A PRELIMINARY STATEMENT AND THE FILER ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE SUMMARY DATA WITHOUT FIRST REMOVING THE ENTRY FROM STATEMENT STATUS. IF THE ENAI SCREEN SHOWS "ENT ACP NOT LIQ", THE FILER MAY NOT RETRANSMIT THE SUMMARY UNTIL THE SUMMARY IS PUT INTO A REJECTED STATUS. IF THE ENTRY NUMBER IS A DRAWBACK CLAIM THAT IS IN CUSTOMS STATUS AND THE FILER IS ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE THE DATA, THE DISKETTE WILL BE REJECTED AND CUSTOMS WILL MANUALLY PROCESS ANY CHANGES AS INDICATED ON THE PAPER CLAIM. IF THE ENTRY NUMBER IS NOT A DRAWBACK CLAIM, BOTH THE CLAIM AND DISKETTE WILL BE RETURNED. ACCELERATED DRAWBACK WILL BE PAID UPON CORRECTION (IF NOT PREVIOUSLY PAID). ABI WILL REJECT THE TRANSMISSION.

DKV:	INVALID PETROLEUM INDICATOR

IN THE AUTOMATED DRAWBACK MODULE, THE 'D11' RECORD WILL CONTAIN A SPACE IF NOT A PETROLEUM CLAIM OR A '1' IF IT IS PETROLEUM. ANY OTHER INDICATORS GIVEN WILL CAUSE THIS ERROR.

2G2:	DUPLICATE AIRWAY/BILL LADING NO.

THIS MESSAGE IS A RESPONSE TO A CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION HI). IF THE HA RECORDS CONTAIN DUPLICATE AIR WAYBILLS OR BILL OF LADING NUMBERS, THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THE DUPLICATION MUST BE EXACT FROM ONE HA RECORD TO THE NEXT. IF THE SECOND RECORD CONTAINS THE SAME MASTER BILL OR AIR WAYBILL RECORD, BUT INCLUDES A HOUSE OR HOUSE/SUBHOUSE BILL, THE PRESENCE OF THE ADDITIONAL BILL DATA WILL BE SUFFICIENT TO MAKE EACH HA RECORD DISTINCT.

VBO:	FW 3-177: INVLD LINE#/CONTINUATN

IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE SPECIES CODES FOR AN TARIFF NUMBER, THE FWS LINE NUMBERS IN REC FW01, POS 75-77 SHOULD START WITH 001 AND INCREASE SEQUENTIALLY BY ONE NUMBER. IF THERE ARE MULTIPLE SPECIES CODES PER ARTICLE, THE FWS LINE NUMBERS REMAIN CONSTANT WITH EACH LINE NUMBER FOLLOWED BY A "C" IN POS 78 TO SIGNIFY A CONTINUATION. THE OMISSION OF THE "C" SIGNIFIES THAT THERE ARE NO ADDITIONAL FWS SPECIES CODES TO FOLLOW FOR THE ITEM.

VLU:	TOT DRAWBACK TAX AMOUNT INVALID

THIS DRAWBACK MODULE ERROR MESSAGE MEANS THAT THE TOTAL CLAIMED TAX DOES NOT ADD UP FROM THE DESIGNATED IMPORTS/CM'S. ACS TOTALS ALL IMPORT ENTRY AND CM CLAIMED AMOUNTS AND COMPARES THEM TO THE TOTAL THAT THE FILER GAVE IN THE DISKETTE IN THE 'CT' TRAILER RECORD. NOTE: THERE IS NOW A TOLERANCE OF + OR - $1.00 ALLOWED ON THE TOTAL BEFORE THIS MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

EJ1:	TOTAL AMT OF INVOICE LINES WRONG

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). THE C84 REC, POS 4-18, IS WHERE THE TOTAL DOLLAR AMOUNT OF ALL THE INVOICE LINES ON THE INSTANT INVOICE IS REPORTED. THIS AMOUNT WILL INCLUDE THE ITEM AMOUNT TOTAL FROM EACH C33 REC, POS 37-51, PLUS OR MINUS THE APPROPRIATE ALLOWANCES OR CHARGES REPORTED IN ANY C17 OR C53 RECORD. THESE AMOUNTS ARE TOTALED AT THE FOUR-DECIMAL LEVEL AND THEN SHOULD BE ROUNDED TO TWO DECIMALS FOR INCLUSION IN THE C84 RECORD. IF THE FIGURE REPORTED IN THE C84 RECORD DOES NOT AGREE WITH THE OTHER TOTALS, THIS ERROR WILL BE GENERATED. THERE IS A $3.00 (PLUS OR MINUS) VARIATION ALLOWED BETWEEN THE C84 TOTAL AND THE TOTAL OF THE OTHER RECORDS.

361:	IT CHECK DIGIT ERROR

THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT IF AN AIR WAYBILL NUMBER OR A CONVENTIONAL INBOND NUMBER (9 NUMERIC) IS TRANSMITTED WITH AN INCORRECT CHECK DIGIT. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TRANSMITTING FILER TO CONFIRM WHETHER THE ERROR IS IN THE CHECK DIGIT ITSELF OR IN ONE OF THE PRECEDING DIGITS. NOTE: IF THE CHECK DIGIT ERROR OCCURS ON A PAPERLESS MASTER INBOND NUMBER (THOSE STARTING WITH "V"), ERROR MESSAGE 2CI WILL BE GENERATED. THE AMS SYSTEM WILL ACCEPT A TRANSMISSION WITH AN INCORRECT CHECK DIGIT. CHECK AMS FOR THE BILL OF LADING OR IN-BOND NUMBER. IF IT IS IN AMS, YOUR ABI CLIENT REPRESENTATIVE CAN RUN THE NUMBER THROUGH THE CHECK DIGIT CALCULATOR. IF AMS HAS THE INCORRECT CHECK DIGIT, ADVISE THE AMS CARRIER TO CORRECT AND RE-TRANSMIT WITH THE PROPER CHECK DIGIT.

584:	ENT-SUM ACCEPTED WITH WARNINGS

THIS IS AN ENTRY SUMMARY OUTPUT RESPONSE MESSAGE (APPLICATION EI). IF THE SUMMARY TRANSMISSION HAS ACCEPTABLE DATA, BUT ALSO HAS CENSUS WARNINGS, ASSIGNED-TEAM WARNINGS, OR OTHER SIMILAR NON-FATAL CONDITIONS, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IN LIEU OF  "ENTRY ACCEPTED-DOCUMENTS REQUIRED" OR "PAPERLESS - FILER RETAIN RECORDS."

THE CARRIER CODE IS TRANSMITTED IN THE SUMMARY IN THE 30 REC, POS 73-76 (FOR THE FOUR CHARACTER OCEAN CARRIER CODE) AND IN THE 30 REC, POS 73-74 (FOR THE TWO CHARACTER AIR CARRIER CODE). THIS CODE IS REQUIRED WHETHER OR NOT THE ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT CONTAINS A CARGO CERTIFICATION REQUEST FLAG. IF THE FILER DOES NOT TRANSMIT THE CARRIER CODE AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE CARRIER CODE IS OMITTED FROM THE CARGO RELEASE DATA INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION IDENTIFIER HI) FOR AIR OR OCEAN MODES OF TRANSPORTATION.

VAW:	PRELIMINARY STMT ALREADY PRODUCED

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN A FILER TRANSMITS AN ENTRY SUMMARY WITH A PAYMENT DUE DATE THAT IS THE SAME DATE AS THE CALENDAR DATE OF THE STATEMENT. FOR EXAMPLE, IF THE FILER SENDS, ON DECEMBER 28, AN ENTRY SUMMARY WITH A PAYMENT DUE OF DECEMBER 28, THIS MESSSAGE WILL RESULT, BECAUSE ALL THE PRELIMINARY STATEMENTS FOR DECEMBER 28 WILL HAVE BEEN PRODUCED PRIOR TO THE FILER TRANSMITTING HIS DATA. PAYMENT DUE DATES MUST ALWAYS BE AT LEAST ONE CALENDAR DAY IN THE FUTURE WHEN COMPARED TO THE TRANSMISSION DATE. THIS MESSAGE ALSO OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. IT HAS OCCURRED WHEN A FILER SENT A PAYMENT INDICATOR OF '2' '3' OR '5' IN POSITION 59 OF THE D30 RECORD AND DID NOT SEND AT LEAST ONE D20 RECORD. THIS MESSAGE ALSO OCCURS FOR RECONCILIATION ('RA' TRANSACTION) IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A RECON SUMMARY WITH A PAYMENT DUE DATE AFTER STATEMENT GENERATION (SEE FIRST PARAGRAPH ABOVE).

FILERS CAN TRANSMIT PIRP NUMBERS IN THE ENTRY SUMMARY (EI) INPUT IN THE 43 RECORD, POS 3-8.ANY NUMBER TRANSMITTED IN THIS FIELD MUST BE ACCOMPANIED BY AN APPROPRIATE "TYPE INDICATOR" IN POS 9.THE TYPE INDICATOR MUST AGREE WITH THE TYPE OF PRE-IMPORTATION NUMBER CODE THAT HAS BEEN ASSIGNED TO THE NUMBER REPORTED IN POS 3-8. IF THE FILER TRANSMITS A TYPE OTHER THAN THAT ASSIGNED TO THE PIRP NUMBER, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

95G:	INVALID NAFTA RECON INDICATOR

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN ENTRY SUMMARY INPUT TRANSACTION (APPLICATION EI). IF THE IMPORTER DESIRES THE INSTANT IMPORT ENTRY TO BE FLAGGED FOR A NAFTA RECONCILIATION, THE APPROPRIATE ABI INDICATOR IS A "1" IN POS 76 OF THE 20 RECORD. IF ANY OTHER CHARACTER IS TRANSMITTED IN THIS POSITION (EXCEPT A BLANK TO INDICATE NO NAFTA RECONCILIATION IS BEING ELECTED), THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

AQA:	FILING DDPP REQUIRED

AN AUTOMATED PROTEST MUST BE FILED IN A PORT IDENTIFIED AS AN AUTOMATED PROTEST FILING LOCATION IN THE USCS REGION-DISTRICT-PORT DB. THIS TYPICALLY REPRESENTS THE LOCATION OF THE IMPORT SPECIALIST WHO WILL REVIEW THE PROTEST/CLAIM.

834:	ADD INVALID - BROKER REF MISMATCH

IF AN ENTRY SUMMARY RECORD EXISTS AND AN ADD TRANSACTION IS SUBMITTED VIA BATCH ABI INPUT, THE BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER IN THE EXISTING RECORD MUST MATCH THE BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER IN THE '20' RECORD OF THE BATCH ADD TRANSACTION. FILERS MAY CHANGE THEIR FILER REFERENCE NUMBER IF THEY USE ACTION CODE OF "R" (REPLACE) OR "C" (CHANGE) IN LIEU OF "A" (ADD). THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO RESULT IF THE CARGO DATA INPUT APPLICATION (HI) OR THE BORDER CARGO RELEASE APPLICATION (HN) IS USED AND THE "A" ACTION CODE IS TRANSMITTED WITH A DIFFERENT BROKER REFERENCE NUMBER THAN WAS USED ON THE INITIAL INPUT.

BRM:	POSSIBLE FEE MISMATCH

THE ORIGINAL FEE AMOUNT FOR A GIVEN FEE CLASS CODE IN THE RECON'S 'R21' RECORD DOES NOT AGREE WITH WHAT USCS SHOWS AS BEING THE FEE AMOUNT FOR THAT CLASS CODE ON THE ORIGINAL IMPORT ENTRY. THIS MESSAGE USUALLY RESULTS WHEN ABI ATTEMPTS TO VERIFY THAT THE INDIVIDUAL FEE CLASS AMOUNTS ON THE IMPORT ENTRY AGREE WITH THE AMOUNTS REPORTED IN THE RECON ENTRY (R21 RECORD). IF THE IMPORT ENTRY HAS BEEN RED-LINED DURING THE LIQUIDATION PROCESS, THE USFI RECORD (WHERE FEES ARE DISPLAYED BY CLASS CODE AND AMOUNT) WILL BE BLANK AND THE LNLI RECORDS (ENTRY LINE DATA FOR THE IMPORT ENTRY) IS ALSO LIKELY TO BE BLANK. THUS ABI HAS NO FILE TO SEARCH TO VERIFY THE HMF OR MPF AMOUNT CLAIMED BY THE RECON FILER IN ITS R21 RECORD. THIS MESSAGE IS A WARNING, HOWEVER, AND WILL NOT, IN AND OF ITSELF, CAUSE A RECON ENTRY TO BE REJECTED.

EI3:	UNIT PRICE REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSMISSION (APPLICATION CI). THE C33 RECORD PROVIDES FOR PRICE DATA FOR THE LINE OF THE INVOICE IN QUESTION. POS 22-36 IS PROVIDED TO REPORT THE UNIT PRICE OF THE ARTICLE BEING REPORTED. THIS FIELD CANNOT BE ZERO (UNLESS THE PAYMENT TERMS IN THE C01 RECORD EQUALS "15" -NO CHARGE) OR THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL RESULT.

DLH:	PETROL TARIFF MUST BE 8 OR 10 DGT

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE AUTOMATED DRAWBACK MODULE. IF THE PETROLEUM INDICATOR IS '1' VIA ABI, MEANING THAT THIS IS A PETROLEUM CLAIM, THE TARIFF NUMBERS MUST BE REPORTED VIA THE ABI 'D20' RECORDS AT EITHER THE 8 OR 10 DIGIT LEVELS. FOR PETROLEUM, THE 6 DIGIT REPORTING LEVEL IS NOT ACCEPTABLE.
