Full-Service Report Testing: Service Type Identifier (STID) Errors

This process will allow a tester to verify that an STID errors reported on the Electronic Verification tab of the mailer scorecard is a valid error. STID errors are logged at the container level.

Description

In this test, we validate that the #STID errors reported matches between summary and drill views for the eDoc submitter scorecard, Mail Owner Scorecard, Mail Preparer Scorecard, and within the Mail Owner/Preparer scorecards. We are also testing that STID errors are logged correctly.

This test will also validate that errors reporting above threshold are reporting correctly on the Mail Entry Additional Posage Assessment Report and Mail Entry Additional Postage Postage Assessment Report (Internal Users only at this time).
