Open ACE ESAR A2.2 Programming Issues (2 Closed, 1 Cancelled, 2 Opened)

U.S. Customs and Border Protection posted an updated version of its spreadsheet of ACE ESAR A2.2 (Initial Entry Types) programming issues.

(ESAR A2.2 allows 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.)

3 Programming Issue Moved to Closed or Cancelled List

One programming issues were moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update:

Date OpenedIssue Description (complete description)
01/15/11(Closed) Large bond query messages (KI) are failing to process in ACE PROD. The inbound KI message flow is failing to put the Bond Query on the inbound queue, due to the size of the message exceeding the maximum length set on the queue. Adjustments will be made to increase the processing through-put.
06/28/11(Cancelled) ACE Entry Summary AE Transaction without an AX Response. Several batch and block validations identify conditions whereby the outbound response message cannot be returned. An AE submitted for a sender/receiver not authorized did not generate an AX response. The AX was sent to a queue to discard and not recorded in the tool used by client reps. These messages are syntactically incorrect and cannot be returned to the sender yet should be recorded for client rep research.
07/19/11(Closed) ACE CERT - PSC Not Creating UC Message. A post summary correction entry summary AE transaction submitted by one filer (in ACE CERT) for an existing entry summary which was originally created by a different filer was processed successfully in ACE and replaced the existing entry summary. However, based on this scenario a UC outbound message should have been sent to the original entry summary filer with disposition type code 8 which indicates that an entry summary they “owned” has been replaced in ACE by another filer.

2 Programming Issue Added to the Open List

Date OpenedIssue Description (complete description)
03/22/12ACE Entry Summary Remote Location Filing Reject - Incorrect Condition Text. An ACE entry summary transaction submitted on 3/21/12 was correctly rejected for a business validation concerning the filer not being authorized to file remotely for a port. However, the reject condition text returned by ACE for this reject was incorrect. The error condition returned was “REMOTE FILING LOCATION UNKNOWN” but should have been “REMOTE PREPARER NOT AUTHRZD FOR PORT”.
05/11/12ACE AX Missing E0-Record for CENWRN Sign Post. When an ACE entry summary (AE) transaction includes CW02-records to override a Census warning -- and the override is rejected, ACE should return an E0-record with the CENWRN sign post indicating the details of the rejected Census warning override. Table 1 from the ACE Entry Summary Create/Update CATAIR chapter Entry Summary Output Response Layout, page 127, shows that CENWRN should be included in the E0-record.
