UNTIL THAT ENHANCEMENT IS ANNOUNCED, ONLY PAYMENT TYPE 01 WILL BE ACCEPTED BY ABI (WHICH MEANS THAT SPACES "00" OR A "1" WILL ALSO BE REJECTED).
AR5: REFUND PARTY DATA REJECTED

IF A REFUND C/O PARTY WAS NOT NAMED AT THE TIME OF INITIAL FILING, AN AMEND- MENT QJ OR ADDENDA RJ TRANSACTION CAN BE SUBMITTED TO ADD THE REFUND C/O PARTY TO THE PROTEST RECORD.

IT IS MANDATORY THAT THE FILER INDICATE THE TYPE OF ACTION HE INTENDS TO PERFORM, 'A' = ADD REFUND C/O WHEREAS 'R' = REPLACE. THIS IS A 'HIGH LEVEL' ERROR MESSAGE RELATING TO SPECIFIC ERRORS IN THE P40 RECORD WHICH SHOULD ALSO BE INDICATED BY THE PRESENCE OF ONE OR MORE ERROR MESSAGES. A COMMON EXAMPLE WOULD BE "ARW: REFUND PARTY NBR NOT ON FILE," WHICH COULD RESULT FROM THE USE OF IMPROPER FORMAT OF THE IRS, SOC, OR USCS NUMBER.

IT CAN OCCUR WITH ABI, FOR EXAMPLE, WHERE A FILER MAY BE SENDING DATA FOR THEIR 3901 OFFICE AND INADVERTENTLY INCLUDES A 5301 OFFICE CLAIM. FOR RECONCILIATION, THIS MEANS THAT THE FILER IN THE 'B' RECORD DIFFERS FROM THE FILER IN THE 'R10' RECORD.
