As-Is Mail Direction File

To-Be Mail Direction Search Report – Drop Entry Point View
• The Drop Entry Point View of the Mail Direction Search is based off “Drop Entry Points” rather than the concept of “Defaults” and “Redirections”.

– Truck Size Redirections
– Different Effective Date Ranges
– Multiple Entry Points for some BMC Discount Drop Entry Points (ASF and BMC)
A drop entry point will only have an effective start, end and grace date
• The Search Criteria will remain the same as the Default and Redirection View
