ABI Error Message

VGQ: FD 701: ESTBLSMNT ID NOT ON FILE

AN FDA ESTABLISHMENT IDENTIFIER (FEI) NUMBER IS A TWELVE-DIGIT NUMBER THAT IDENTIFIES A DOMESTIC LOCATION (ADDRESS) OF AN FDA IMPORTER OR DOMESTIC CLIENT. THESE NUMBERS ARE CREATED IN THE FDA INTERFACE BY FILERS REQUESTING, THROUGH ABI TO FDA, A NUMBER FOR A DOMESTIC LOCATION. THE REQUEST IS MOST OFTEN MADE WHEN THE FILER HAS SENT A FOREIGN-BASED CONSIGNEE AND HAS RECEIVED AN FDA REJECT. THE FEI NUMBER, IF USED, IS SENT IN REC FD03, POS 15-26 AND MUST CONTAIN 12 NUMERIC CHARACTERS. THE MOST COMMON MISTAKE IS TO OMIT THE FIRST TWO ZEROS AND TRANSMIT ONLY TEN NUMBERS.
10R: INVALID FLIGHT NUMBER FORMAT

THE CORRECT FLIGHT NUMBER FORMAT IS THREE NUMBERS (NNN), FOUR NUMBERS (NNNN), OR ONE OF THE ABOVE FOLLOWED BY AN ALPHA CHARACTER (NNNA OR NNNNA). A FLIGHT NUMBER IS REQUIRED WHEN: A) THE CARRIER ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENTRY IS AN AUTOMATED CARRIER FOR AIR MANIFEST FOR THE PORT OF UNLADING ON THE ENTRY OR B) THE FIRMS CODE ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENTRY (LOCATION OF GOODS) IS AN AUTOMATED CONTAINER FREIGHT STATION FOR AIR MANIFEST.

THIS MESSAGE WILL APPEAR IF THE FILER HAS USED AN ADDITION/DELETION CODE OF 'A' ON THE 'CH' HEADER RECORD OF THE DRAWBACK DISKETTE (THE 'D10' RECORD FOR ABI) AND THE DRAWBACK CLAIM ALREADY EXISTS ON CUSTOMS FILE. A DELETE OF A CLAIM BY A FILER CAN ONLY BE HONORED IF THE CLAIM IS STILL IN ABI STATUS. ALL CLAIMS CREATED BY DISKETTE OR VIA ABI ARE PLACED IN ABI STATUS BY ACS WHEN FIRST ACCEPTED ERROR-FREE. THE SAME LOGIC APPLIES TO IMPORT ENTRIES FILED ELECTRONICALLY VIA ABI. ONCE IN CUSTOMS STATUS, THEY CANNOT BE DELETED BY THE FILER. IF NOT IN CUSTOMS STATUS, FILER MUST SUBMIT A 'D' ACTION CODE. NOTE: THE CLAIM CANNOT BE DELETED AT ALL IF ACCELERATED DRAWBACK HAS BEEN PAID. IF ACCELERATED HAS BEEN PAID AND THE FILER WISHES TO DELETE, THE CLAIM WILL HAVE TO BE LIQUIDATED "NO DRAWBACK" AND A BILL ISSUED FOR REPAYMENT OF THE ACCELERATED DRAWBACK. IF ACCELERATED HAS NOT BEEN PAID, BUT THE ENTRY IS IN A CUSTOMS STATUS, IT CAN BE CANCELLED, BUT NOT DELETED.
