      Note: If you modify the Location or Date for deposit and update the mailing pieces in the Review Mailing Plan tab, the expected delivery start date for each Delivery Installation will be recalculated.

      • Click Close and click on the Describe Mailing tab to proceed with your required changes to the deposit date or deposit location fields and regenerate your mailing plan. All counts and routes will be updated to reflect the householder data applicable to the expected delivery start date.

If you enter a value in the reference #1 field on this Review Mailing Plan screen, it will overwrite the value you entered in the reference #1 field on the Describe Mailing screen (if applicable). If you use the reference #1 field in the Describe Mailing screen, this value is "attached" to the mailing piece you are describing. Using the Reference #1 field in the Review Mailing Plan section allocates the value of the field to the Delivery Installation (i.e. prints on the container label in relation to the Delivery Installation, not the mailing piece).

      Clear Reference #1 value(s): select this if you wish to clear Reference #1 from Mailing Pieces and selected Delivery Installations.
