(ESAR A2.2 allows for the filing and processing of formal (type 01) and informal (type 11) entry summaries for those who volunteer to submit such entry summaries in ACE. It also allows importers with ACE accounts (and brokers if granted cross account access) to respond to certain CBP forms via the ACE portal. CBP sources note that about 41 entities are filing entry summaries in ACE, and that ACE entry summaries represent less than 1% of all summaries filed.)
Two Programming Issues Moved to Closed List
Two programming issues were moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
|---|---|
| 09/30/11 | ACE Entry Summary Rejected in Error for Statement Date. A filer submitted several entry summary transactions today, 9/30/11, indicating a Payment Type Code of 7 -- for periodic monthly statement for an importer. ACE rejected these for PRELIM STMT DAY > PERIODIC STMT DAY. The entry summary (AE) transaction indicates a statement print date of 101711 and the account records for the importer indicate that the Statement date/day for October is 101811. The preliminary statement day is not greater than the periodic statement day. |
| 10/03/11 | ACE Entry Summaries - Incorrect Control Status. Three ACE entry summaries remain in trade control in ACE but are in CBP control in ACS. It appears that these 3 ACE entry summaries are missing the ENA update to move the entry summary to CBP control. |
Three Programming Issues Added to the Open List
With this update, CBP has newly listed the following three programming issues as "Open."
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
|---|---|
| 10/26/11 | Additional ACE Entry Summary Query Output Format Errors. It appears that there are some additional format errors in the outbound records created by ACE in the Entry Summary Query (JD) transaction for the entry summary details provided in the 10-90 records. These differences are based on the ACE ABI CATAIR Entry Summary Create/Update chapter. The differences (errors in the JD transaction records) are as follows: 1. 10-record, position 39: electronic signature should be an “X”., 2. 31-record, position 5: N is not a valid value for this field -- should be a space, 3. 40-record, position 59: N is not a valid value for this filed -- should be a space, 4. 42-record, positions 51-54 and other ending line range values: should be right justified in the appropriate field, 5. 89-record, positions 6-16 and other amounts: should be right justified in the appropriate field. |
| 11/01/11 | ACE Entry Summary Rejected for Incorrect Error Condition. An ACE entry summary (AE) transaction submitted by a filer on 10/31/11 was rejected incorrectly for several conditions in error. The entry summary includes the EIP indicator in the 10-record. Line 3 of the entry summary includes an extraneous (or duplicate) 44-record which is out of sequence in the line. However, for an EIP grouping, the ACE system does not correctly reject this out of sequence record. The record sequence was as follows: 40, 44, 42, 43, 44, etc. |
| 11/08/11 | ACE Entry Summary - Reject Condition Error. An ACE entry summary transaction submitted on 11/2/11 with a preliminary statement print date in the past (070811) was correctly rejected by ACE for the condition “PRELIM STMT DATE MUST BE IN FUTURE”. However, the entry summary incorrectly provided another condition “PRELIM STMT DATE > 90 DAYS IN FUTURE” which is incorrect. |
An Additional 66 Issues Remain on Open List
Sixty-six issues continue to be listed as "Open" on CBP’s spreadsheet (see spreadsheet for full details of each open issue, as well a full list of the issues that have been closed (completed), canceled, and deferred:
