The following fix impacts the ACE Entry Summary developers:



ACE_PR_47807 – With this fix, the ACE Entry Summary AE transaction will no longer reject incorrectly when an IRS formatted number containing no suffix is reported in a party ID (e.g., Importer of Record).



ACE_PR_48451, ACE_PR_48726, ACE_PR_48727, ACE_PR_48728, ACE_PR_48729 - These 5 problem reports combine to correct the problem where a PSC Entry Summary Transaction is incorrectly rejected for Bond Sufficiency Action Date.









ACE_PR_48804 – Currently, export in-bonds by BOL using the ABI CATAIR WP transaction are being rejected incorrectly when the subsequent in-bond does not contain that BOL. This will correct the problem so that carriers are able to export the initial in-bond for a BOL which is not included in a subsequent in-bond that contains other BOLs from the initial in-bond.



ACE_PR_48850 – Currently in-bond departure messages are not being routed to the carrier. With this fix, carriers will receive the correct departure notification so they can arrive or export the in-bond.



ACE_XPTR_42065 – This will correct a problem with incorrect record ‘counts’ in the block control trailer (Y-Record). The record counts will now be accurate. This has impacted the following application identifiers:

AC (response to the AD/CVD Case Information Query AD),

JD (response to the Entry Summary Query JC),and

TR (response to Importer/Consignee Create/Update TI).
