(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.)
Zero Programming Issues Moved to Closed List
No programming issues were moved from the “Open” list to the “Closed” list with this update.
Two Programming Issues Added to the Open List
With this update, CBP has newly listed the following two programming issues as "Open":
| Date Opened | Issue Description (complete description) |
| 12/19/11 | ACE Entry Summary Processed in Error. A batch of ACE entry summary transactions which included 3 entry summaries in separate blocks (B-Y record groupings) and which included an unknown record identifier in the first block, attempted to process the third block (B-Y record grouping or third entry summary) and did so in error. The ACE business rule indicates that when a batch failure of this type (unknown record id in the first block), is found that no further validation of the batch shall occur. The first block was correctly rejected for including a record identifier of PG. However, ACE attempted to process the third block in the batch and provided incorrect conditions for this block. |
| 12/21/11 | ACE System Failures - 12/20/11. An ACE filer submitted two ACE entry summary transactions (AEs) on 12/20/11 at 19:25 which ACE rejected for ACE System Failure. There are 2 other inbound entry summary (AE) transactions for the same entry summaries at virtually the same time. Two of the AEs do not appear to have outbound (AX) response messages. |
