US Postal Service - eVS Sequence Bank |
Scroll |
If you are configuring Parcel with eVS, you can use the eVS Sequence Bank screen to set sequence values for the eVS manifest. Alternatively, if you have only a single location for a specific Master Mailer ID, you can accept the default sequence values. However, if you have multiple locations with the same Mailer ID, you must configure unique sequence values for the USPS carriers under each location using this screen. (See the Note in the eVS Manifest Sequence Numbers section.)
The following table describes the values required for eVS manifest sequence values:
In this field... |

Manifest Sequence |
The starting number for the incrementing portion of the manifest sequence number. (See the following section.) |
Header Sequence |
The starting number for the incrementing portion of the header sequence number. |

Each eVS upload file contains a Header record with the Electronic File Number (EFN) used by USPS to differentiate upload files. The EFN is a unique 22-digit number with the following structure:
•Two-digit Application Identifier (always 91).
•Two-digit Service Type Code (always 50 for an EFN).
•Nine-digit Mailer ID (see the following topic: US Postal Service - Account Defaults - eVS Tab).
•Eight-digit fixed length sequence number (see the following Note).
•Single digit check digit number.
Note: For Parcel instances with multiple locations, each location can have the same Master Mailer ID used to create the EFN. In this case the value used for the eight-digit fixed length sequential number must have a starting point for each location such that no two locations use of the same sequence number within 180 days.
