Users can automatically generate mail release placards using the PostalOne! system. Placard creation is available for both domestic and international postage statements. Placards include the mail class, processing category, processing type, mail release date, and start-the-clock date. Postage statements with a single owner also include customer name and permit number, transaction ID, and postage statement ID. All placards include acceptance unit name, finance number, and contact information at the bottom. Placards can be created during finalization of a postage statement or after a postage statement has been finalized. The three ways to print placards are:
During postage statement finalization. For instructions, see Finalizing Postage Statements.
Reprinting and/or updating the placards from the Placard Summary Report. For more information, see Viewing the Placard Summary.
Taking over a placard initially begun by another user.
To print placards after finalization:
On the left menu bar, click Transactions.
If necessary, select a finance unit and acceptance site.
Click a Co-Container Placard link. This link is typically a two-letter abbreviation for the mail processing category, following by the two initials of the clerk who finalized the statement with the placard.
If another user owns the placard, click Yes to take over the placard. The Co-Container Placard Maintenance page opens.
Select the Reassign check box for all placards to print. If only one placard is listed, that placard is automatically chosen.
Click Close this Placard to print the placard and close it.
To download the placard, click Download (for an Excel spreadsheet version), then click Save and navigate to the location on your computer to which you want to save the file. Click Save. In the Download Complete box, click Close.
To print the placard, click the Printable View link. The report will open in a second window in .pdf (Portable Document Format) format. Click Open to display the report. Select the browser Print button to print the file, then click OK in your printer dialog box.
