ABI Error Message

531:	NON-NUMERIC IN NUMERIC FIELD

IN ACS, ALL MONEY FIELDS AND CERTAIN FIELDS USED AS SWITCHES OR COUNTERS ARE DEFINED AS NUMERIC. DURING ABI PROCESSING OF BROKER DATA, IF A FIELD CONTAINS ALPHA CHARACTERS AND IT SHOULD BE NUMERIC, THE USER WILL RECEIVE THIS MESSAGE. AFTER SYSTEM TESTING WITH BROKERS, THIS MESSAGE SHOULD NOT OCCUR.  THIS MESSAGE WILL ALSO BE GENERATED IF THE NUMERIC FIELD IS FILLED WITH BLANK DATA (AT LEAST IN THE CI-AUTOMATED INVOICE-TRANSACTION).

ARG:	PROTESTANT TYPE REQUIRED

A VALID VALUE IS REQUIRED IN THE PROTESTANT TYPE FIELD VALID VALUES ARE: D - DRAWBACK CLAIMANT F - FOREIGN MAUFACTURER/PRODUCER/EXPORTER I - IMPORTER/CONSIGNEE M - MASTER OF VESSEL S - SURETY V - VESSEL OPERATOR O - OTHER

120:	INVALID LIQUIDATION CYCLE CODE

THE LIQUIDATION CYCLE CODE MUST BE NUMERIC AND MUST BE A ZERO, ONE, OR A TWO.

VHC:	FD 701:PHONE NBR MUST BE NUMERIC

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN NON-NUMERIC CHARACTERS ARE INPUT INTO THE "CONTACT PHONE NUMBER" FIELD, REC FD04, POS 29-38. THIS IS AN OPTIONAL FIELD. A COMMON PROBLEM IS THAT THE USER WILL SEND A "CONTACT NAME" (REC FD04 POS 19-28) THAT IS LONGER THAN 10 CHARACTERS AND THE FILER'S PROGRAM ALLOWS THE EXTRA CHARACTERS TO SPILL OVER INTO THE PHONE NUMBER FIELD. ALSO, PHONE NUMBERS MUST INCLUDE THE AREA CODE. IF THIS PART OF THE PHONE NUMBER ELEMENT IS LEFT BLANK, ERROR VHC ALSO RESULTS.

BRS:	R10 FIELDS MUST MATCH FILED ENTRY

THIS MESSAGE CAN OCCUR IF THE RECONCILIATION SUMMARY IS ALREADY FILED AND THE FILER IS DOING A REPLACEMENT OR CORRECTION. VIRTUALLY ALL FIELDS IN THE NEW 'R10' MUST MATCH WHAT IS ALREADY ON FILE. THE MAIN REASON FOR THIS REJECT IS THE ABSENCE OF A '00' SUFFIX IN THE IMPORTER OF RECORD NUMBER IN THE R10 REC, POS 20-31. EVEN IF THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION DID NOT CONTAIN THE SUFFIX, ONCE IT HAS BEEN ACCEPTED ERROR-FREE, THE ENAI RECORD SUPPLIES THE ZEROS AND MAKES THEM MANDATORY WHEN A RETRANSMISSION IS DONE. NOTE THAT THE R10 RECORD LISTS TWO FIELDS WHERE THIS ERROR CAN OCCUR: THE IMPORTER ID MENTIONED ABOVE IN POS 20-31 AND THE 4811 REFERENCE NUMBER IN POS 60-71. BOTH FIELDS MUST HAVE A SUFFIX IN ORDER TO PROCESS THE RECON ENTRY. A SECOND REASON FOR THIS REJECTION MESSAGE RELATES TO THE RECON TEAM, IN POS 41-43 OF THE R10. IF THE PORT HAS CHANGED THE ASSIGNED TEAM ON THE ENAI RECORD FOR THE PREVIOUSLY TRANSMITTED 09 ENTRY, IT MUST BE CHANGED BACK TO THE APPROPRIATE RECON TEAM NUMBER BEFORE THE FILER CAN RETRANSMIT THE ENTRY.

ASI:	PROTESTED-ISSUE REQUIRED

A ONE-LINE SUMMARY OF THE PROTESTED ISSUE IS REQUIRED AT THE TIME OF FILING OF THE PROTEST, PETITION, OR INTERVENTION. THE PROTESTED ISSUE IS LISTED AS A REQUIRED ELEMENT IN CFR 174.13 AND 181.115 DESCRIBING THE CONTENTS OF PROTESTS AND INTERVENTIONS. THE P70 RECORD IS MISSING OR BLANK.

AD7:	SUPPLIER/MFG INVALID

PLEASE REFER TO CUSTOMS DIRECTIVE 3500-13, DATED NOVEMBER 24, 1987 FOR COMPLETE INSTRUCTIONS ON DETERMINING A VALID MANUFACTURER OR SUPPLIER CODE.

DKW:	DUPLICATE TARIFF

IN THE AUTOMATED DRAWBACK MODULE EACH TARIFF NUMBER GIVEN ON A CLAIM CAN ONLY APPEAR ONCE. THIS ERROR WILL OCCUR IF A NUMBER HAS BEEN USED MORE THAN ONCE ON THE CLAIM AS SENT IN THE ABI 'D20' RECORDS.

2BU:	INVALID STATE CODE

ACS REQUIRES THE ABI FILER TO REPORT THE STATE OF ULTIMATE DESTINATION FOR THE IMPORTED CARGO. THIS CODE IS TRANSMITTED IN THE 10 REC, POS 78-79. ONLY THE TWO CHARACTER POSTAL ABBREVIATION FOR ONE OF THE 50 STATES WILL BE ACCEPTED IN THIS ELEMENT. IF ANY OTHER CODE IS TRANSMITTED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED. IF THE ADD 5106 APPLICATION (CODE TI) IS USED, THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF THE STATE CODE IS NOT ONE OF THOSE APPROVED BY THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE. NOTE THAT ERROR MESSAGE 2B8 IS IDENTICAL TO THIS ERROR MESSAGE AND MAY BE THE ONE BEING CALLED FOR 5106 INPUT ERRORS. THAT APPLICATIION IS NOT RETURNING ERROR CODES AS OF MAY 1998.

1C1:	MISSING VESSEL CODE/NAME

FOR OCEAN IMPORT SHIPMENTS, THE VESSEL NAME FIELD OR VESSEL CODE FIELD MUST BE FILLED IN. VESSEL CODES ARE NO LONGER USED AND ARE NOT GENERALLY AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC. THEREFORE, IF THE VESSEL FIELD IS LEFT BLANK (REPORTED IN REC H2, POS 60-79) ON THE CARGO INPUT APPLICATION (CODE HI), THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED.

VP8:	TOT OWED U.S. MUST = ZERO

THIS MESSAGE OCCURS IN THE NAFTA DUTY DEFERRAL MODULE. IF A "SPACE" IS SENT IN THE D30 RECORD, POSITION 68, IT INDICATES THAT THE ASSOCIATED CANADIAN ENTRY DATA WILL BE PROVIDED. THE SYSTEM THEN LOOKS AT THE TOTAL ESTIMATED DUTY (US) IN THE D30 RECORD, POSITIONS 15-25, AND THIS ERROR MESSAGE WILL BE GENERATED IF THE DUTY IS NOT EQUAL TO ZERO.

VMI:	CANNOT CHG ENT TYPE -WHS/W ASSOCT

AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO CHANGE THE ENTRY TYPE OF AN ENTRY TYPE 21 OR 22 THAT A WAREHOUSE WITHDRAWAL ASSOCIATED WITH IT.

VEM:	FC 740:QTY EXCEEDS 03 ALLOWANCE

THE QUANTITY FOR AN 03 IMPORT CONDITION NUMBER CANNOT EXCEED 200 UNITS WITHOUT PRIOR APPROVAL. IF QUANTITY EXCEEDS 200, REPORT PRIOR APPROVAL BY SENDING A "Y" IN POSITION 7 OF THE FC01 RECORD, DATA ELEMENT "03 IMPORT CONDITION NUMBER QUANTITY APPROVAL".

BR1:	ORIGINAL DUTY MISMATCH (R90:R20)

THE TOTAL ORIGINAL DUTY GIVEN BY THE FILER IN THE RECON'S 'R90' RECORD DOES MATCH THE SUM OF THE ORIGINAL DUTY FROM ALL OF THE 'R20' RECORDS. THIS ONLY APPLIES TO ENTRY-BY-ENTRY RECONCILIATION.

Q05:	'QT' AMOUNT PAID INVALID

THE 'QT' RECORD HAS SPACES, OR OTHER NON-NUMERIC DATA IN THE PAYMENT AMOUNT FIELD POSITIONS 25-34. ZERO DOLLARS IS A VALID AMOUNT THAT MAY BE PAID VIA ACH. (THE TRANSMITTING OF ZERO DOLLARS IS AN INDICATOR BY THE FILER THAT THE STATEMENT IS CORRECT IN THAT ALL ENTRIES HAVE NO MONEY DUE. THE TRANSMISSION IS NECESSARY, HOWEVER, IN ORDER TO "PROCESS/PAY" THE STATEMENT AND ALLOW THE GENERATION OF THE FINAL STATEMENT).

ADV:	RELSE DATE EXCEEDS 7-DAY PERIOD

IN A CONSOLIDATED ENTRY TRANSACTION, THE NUMBER OF DAYS BETWEEN THE EARLIEST ENTRY AND THE LATEST ENTRY CANNOT EXCEED SEVEN DAYS.

EI2:	QUANTITY REQUIRED

THIS MESSAGE IS GENERATED IN RESPONSE TO AN AUTOMATED INVOICE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION CI). QUANTITY DATA IS REPORTED IN THE C33 REC (POS 4-18) OR THE C34 REC (POS 4-18 AND 22-36). IF THE ARTICLE DESCRIBED IN THE INVOICE HAS ONE OR MORE QUANTITIES (BASED ON THE TARIFF NUMBER WHICH DESCRIBES THE ARTICLE), THE C33 AND C34 RECORDS PROVIDE THE MEANS TO REPORT THE REQUIRED QUANTITIES. AT A MINIMUM, THE C33 RECORD MUST CONTAIN A NUMBER GREATER THAN ZERO. IF THE C34 RECORD IS USED TO DESCRIBE ADDITIONAL QUANTITES FOR THE ARTICLE, THE QUANTITY FIELDS IN THAT RECORD MUST BE GREATER THAN ZERO, DEPENDING ON WHETHER THE ARTICLE DESCRIBED HAS TWO REPORTABLE QUANTITIES (WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE C33 RECORD AND THE "QUANTTIY 2 FIELD IN THE C34 REC) OR THREE REPORTABLE QUANTITES (WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE C33 REC, AND THE QUANTITY 2 AND QUANTITY 3 FIELDS IN THE C34 REC).

2LC:	BOND NOT FILED IN YOUR DISTRICT

A DISTRICT BOND IS ON FILE FOR THIS IMPORTER, BUT THE BOND DOES NOT COVER YOUR DISTRICT.

DKA:	CONTRACT EXPIRED/REVOKED

THIS MESSAGE MEANS THAT IN THE DRAWBACK CLAIM HEADER (D11) OR THE CONTRACT TRAILER RECORD (D12) FOR ONE OF THE CONTRACT NUMBERS GIVEN, THE CONTRACT HAS EITHER EXPIRED OR BEEN REVOKED.

DKU:	APPV'D RULING REQD FOR DBK PAYMT

THIS "WARNING" MESSAGE (NOT A FATAL ERROR) OCCURS IN THE AUTOMATED DRAWBACK MODULE AND WILL APPEAR IF THE DRAWBACK CLAIM TYPE IS '41' OR '44' AND NO VALID RULING (CONTRACT) NUMBER IS GIVEN VIA ABI.

VNK:	INVALID IN-BOND FILER CODE

THIS ERROR MESSAGE OCCURS WHEN THERE IS AN INCORRECT "V" NUMBER IN-BOND FILER CODE TRANSMITTED IN THE FIRST THREE POSITIONS OF THE IN BOND NUMBER SENT IN THE EI 22 RECORD, POSITIONS 3-14 OR THE HI HA RECORD, POSITIONS 3-14. THE 'V' NUMBER MUST BE ON THE CARRIER FILE.

16E:	VALUE/QUANTITY INVALID

THE UNIT VALUE OF THE ITEM REPORTED UNDER THIS TARIFF NUMBER DOES NOT FALL IN THE RANGE STATED BY THE TARIFF NUMBER'S DESCRIPTION IN THE HARMONIZED TARIFF RECORDS. AS AS EXAMPLE, TARIFF NUMBER 6402195030 IS FOR CERTAIN FOOTWEAR VALUED OVER $3.00 PER PAIR, BUT NOT OVER $6.50 PER PAIR. IF A SHIPMENT REPORTS 100 PAIRS AT A TOTAL VALUE OF $285, THIS MESSAGE WILL RESULT, AS THE UNIT PRICE PER PAIR OF SHOES WOULD BE $2.85. THE FILER SHOULD REVERIFY THAT THE CORRECT VALUE AND QUANTITY IS BEING REPORTED AND, IF SO, SELECT A TARIFF NUMBER THAT CORRECTLY DESCRIBES THE VALUE/QUANTITY RANGE FOR THE IMPORTATION.

AI3:	INVALID CASE NUMBER ENTERED

ADA/CVD BROKER QUERY INPUT RECORD CONTAINED AN INVALID CASE NUMBER .

8WE:	15-DAY UPDATE TIME LIMIT EXCEEDED

FILERS WHO USE THE BILL OF LADING UPDATE TRANSACTION (APPLICATION LN) TO CORRECT VARIOUS ELEMENTS OF THE SELECTIVITY RECORD PREVIOUSLY ESTABLISHED BY ABI INPUT HAVE A 15 CALENDAR DAY TIME LIMIT IN WHICH TO TRANSMIT THE UPDATE TRANSACTION. THE 15 DAYS IS MEASURED AGAINST THE LATEST OF THE FOLLOWING ACTIONS: ESTIMATED ARRIVAL DATE, ACTUAL ARRIVAL DATE, AND/OR RELEASE DATE.

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.
