│ Printing Reports │
╘═══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════╛
The reports available at this time are Zip Bulk Report, Zip+4 Bulk
Report and Carrier Route Bulk Report. Select "Print Reports" in the
Main Menu. After selecting the type of report to print, the following
box will appear:
Direct output to: ───────────────────────────────────────────────────
See Appendix B in the on-line documentation for further instruction
in what to enter in this box. This is put in the appendix because the
instuctions are the same for three other locations in this program.
Next, you are prompted with "Print every Nth record:" which allows
you to do a test mailing report for every 10th, 20th, etc. up to
every 99th record. The default number displayed is the "Print every
Nth record" from the current Label/Letter/List template.
Zip Bulk Report
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This report will print the quantities of all 5-digit, 3-digit, State
and Mixed State pieces in that order. The minimum requirement for
this report is that all records have a 5-digit zip code.
An index file indexed on the assigned "Zip Code" field is needed to
print all reports. If the secondary index field is the assigned
"Carrier Route" field, you will be asked if you want to include
qualifying and/or non-qualifying carrier route records.
If your zip code field length is 10 or 12 characters in length, you
will be asked if you want to include records with a 9 or 11 digit zip
code.
You will also be asked if you want to:
A) Sort for 3rd Class
B) Sort for 2nd Class
The only difference between 3rd class and 2nd class is that 3rd class
is sorted in groups of 10 or more qualifying pieces and 2nd class is
sorted in groups of 6 or more qualifying pieces.
The report is preceded with today's date, the name of the database,
the total records in the report, whether or not Zip+4 records were
included, whether or not qualifying and non-qualifying CAR-RT records
were included. The report is followed by the total number of zip
codes in the report.
All records included in the report are sorted by category. The first
category is all records with 10 or more from any 5-digit zip code.
The second category is all remaining records with 10 or more from any
3-digit zip code. The third category is all remaining records with 10
more from any one state. The fourth and last category is any
remaining pieces. Further explanation of mail sorting is provided by
your main post office.
The following are example entries from this report:
01450 36 = 36 pcs from 5-digit zip code 01450
006 **** 20 = 20 pcs from 3-digit zip code 006
STATE MA 52 = 52 pcs from state of MA
MS TOTAL 25 = 25 pcs from mixed states
Zip+4 Bulk Report
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This report is the same as the Zip Bulk Report above except that the
minimum requirement is that the zip code field contain a zip+4 zip
code. Records without a zip+4 zip code are automatically excluded.
If the assigned zip code is 12 characters in length or you have
another 2 character field assigned as the Delivery Point field, you
are asked if you want to include records with 9 digit zip codes.
You will also be asked if you want to:
A) Sort for 3rd Class
B) Sort for 2nd Class
The only difference between 3rd class and 2nd class is that 3rd class
is sorted in groups of 10 or more qualifying pieces and 2nd class is
sorted in groups of 6 or more qualifying pieces.
If the secondary index field is the assigned carrier route field, you
will be asked if you want to include qualifying and/or non-qualifying
carrier route records. These same questions are asked when printing
zip+4 bulk labels.
Carrier Route Bulk Report
─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
This report will print the quantities of all qualifying and/or
non-qualifying carrier route records. The minimum requirement for
this report is that all records have a 5-digit zip code and carrier
route.
An index file indexed on the assigned "Zip Code" field and assigned
"Carrier Route" field is needed to print this report. You will only
be asked if you want to include non-qualifying carrier route records.
This same question is asked when printing bulk labels. This report is
followed by the total qualifying routes and the total qualifying
pieces.
A qualified carrier route record is one of a group of 10 or more from
any carrier route within the same zip code. Non-qualified carrier
route pieces are grouped by the first 3 digits of the zip code. The
following are example entries from this report:
01450 RR04 36 = 36 pcs from zip code 10450 and route RR04
006 *** 8 = 8 pcs from 3-digit zip code 006
