Presorting a list with existing Walk Sequence numbers
How to successfully presort a list with Walk Sequence numbering for Saturation rates.
When importing your list into AccuZIP6, you will need to assign 2 additional fields, as well as the standard address, city, st, and zip fields:
Assign the field Walkseq_ to the walk sequence number field.
You will have a CRRT field that designates the carrier route. For now, import it without mapping it to CRRT.
From the Edit menu, choose Fields and rename the carrier route field that came with the list to CRRT1. We do not want to overwrite this field during Validation.
Do not Optimize a list with walk sequence numbers.
In the Address Validation screen, uncheck these boxes near the bottom of the Output: column on the Validation screen.
- Clear Existing+4 if not coded
- Clear Barcode Field if not coded.
- Clear Existing CRRT if not coded.
- NCOALink
In the Integrity section of the Validation Screen, check the box labeled Don't Modify Input Address.
After Validation is finished go to pull down the Edit menu to Fields.
Delete the field named crrt
Rename the original carrier route field that you had imported, naming it CRRT.
(This CRRT field matches the Walk Sequence number provided to you.)
After validation, enter the Presort Setup window.
In Presort Setup, make sure the following boxes are checked.
- Include Non ZIP+4 Records
- Include Carrier Route Level.
Following these steps should result in a presort with Saturation Rates if the list meets the requirements for those rates.
