the check is noted.

Specify publication and edition or postal distribution indicatorinstead.
Definition of evaluation period either by specifying shipping date,publication date, goods arrival list number (and year) or issue number(and year).

• You can specify the number of an existing check document to display it
again. This number must be specified to delete the document.

Precondition


• The postal charges for postal distribution units depend on the
following criteria:
Number of newspapers that have arrived for an edition
Weight of newspaper including publisher's inserts
Publication frequency
Type of inserts
Weight of inserts

• The currency must be the same as that of the postal charges recorded.


• When the check result is saved, all selected goods arrival lists are
assigned to a check document. This check document thus corresponds tothe postal settlement. If you want to delete this assignment (forexample, because the wrong goods arrival lists have been groupedtogether), you must delete the check document.

• When you delete the check document, the check status of the relevant
goods arrival lists is set to 'unchecked'.

• It is only possible to create a goods arrival list again if it is not
assigned to a check document. It may be necessary to delete thisassignment first ('Delete check document').

• If all the selected goods arrival lists belong to one check document,
this is displayed. If you want to perform valuation again, this can bedone using the function 'Repeat pricing'. The check status is thenreset to 'unchecked'.

• If all the selected goods arrival lists are unchecked, a new settlement
check is performed.
