Address Update Monthly Reports Node

Use the Address Update Monthly Reports node in a process job to run a series of required monthly reports against the NCOALINK process and send the results to the United States Postal Service. These reports are run against statistics that are updated at the end of the Address Update job to the repository that you set up for change of address processing.

The reports detail each mailing list that is processed and who it is processed for. These series includes the following reports:

• Customer Service Log - Lists summary statistics about each mailing list that is processed in the time period. After each list is processed, summary statistics are stored in the National Change of Address (NCOA) repository.
• PAF Information - Details list owners for whom lists were processed. The basic algorithm extracts the PAF information and list owner information for each unique PAFID in the execution records for the date range. It also extracts broker information and outputs a record that summaries the PAF, broker, and list owner for each broker associated with the PAF.

• Broker/Agent/List Admin Information - Details brokers for whom lists were processed during the time period. The basic algorithm extracts the PAF information for each unique PAFID in the execution records for the date range. It also extracts broker information and outputs a record that summaries the PAF and broker for each broker associated with the PAF.

You can run these reports by entering the following inputs into fields in the Input tab of the Address Update Monthly Reports node:

• DATE_START - Specifies the report start date.
• DATE_END - Specifies the report end date.
• OUTPUT_FILE - Specifies the file path to the location where the report is written.
• REPORT_TYPE - Specifies the type of report to execute. Enter 1 for the Customer Service Log report, 2 for the PAF Information report, and 3 for the Broker/Agent/List Admin Information report.

Run the node three times to execute each of the required monthly reports.
