Processing Postage Due Transactions

This feature is available for the following group(s):

BMEU     BRM

Accounts should have a balance sufficient to pay for the transaction prior to processing postage due. If the account is a Business Reply (BR) account rather than a Postage Due (PD) account, enter a Business Reply Mail transaction instead and use the Postage Due lines instead of entering a Postage Due transaction. For more information, see Processing Business Reply Mail Transactions.

NOTE: If an override must be performed, the PostalOne! system prompts you for your password.

To process postage due transactions:

  1. Click Transactions on the left menu bar.

  2. If necessary, click the appropriate finance unit and acceptance site. The Transactions page displays a list of available transaction types.

  3. Click Postage Due.

  4. On the Permit Account Search page, enter search criteria, then click Search. Click the Permit/USPS Pub No. The page displays a list matching your criteria. Click the permit.

  5. If necessary, click Continue to continue processing the transaction if the permit has a bad address or is missing an email address. Click the Edit link to edit the account if the account can be updated before the transaction is processed.

    NOTE
    : If the permit is missing a location or assigned to a different cost center, you will be unable to process BRM transactions and an error message appears on this page. Click the Edit link to edit the account and assign a location. To correct the account later, click Continue. Cost Center is automatically assigned based on the location selected. For more information on editing accounts, see Editing and Canceling Accounts.

  7. If an override is required, click OK in the dialog box, or to modify it further, click Cancel.

  8. Review the transaction. If necessary, select the check box acknowledging the transaction is greater than $2,500.00. If an override is required, enter your password. Click Submit or Save as Pending (if the transactions results in or is on an account with a negative balance). For information on completing pending transactions, see Processing Pending Reply Mail.

  9. To print a copy of the transaction, click Print, then in the new window, click Print.
