MM 7.9.3  Major Modification related to COD

The major modification in software related to COD articles are as follows.

Introduction of new Barcode (Y - Series) for COD Parcels and handling the COD parcels booked with “Y” series at Booking/transmission/delivery offices.
After implementation of Y series Barcode for COD Parcels, the Central Server identifies the office to which the COD parcel is consigned on the basis of information received from the HUB and automatically send the data to that office though it is different than the original destination to which the article is booked. Thus there will be no need for delivery offices to request for data. Receipt of data from HUB, thus plays critical role for effective functioning of this facility.

Provision for transfer of a COD Parcel to any other Post office, before invoicing the article to Postman/Branch Office.

When COD data is requested by a delivery office, if the Central Server cannot supply the data due to various reasons, a message will appear in delivery office as to why the data is not being supplied by the Central Server.

Provision to perform BO Verification of COD parcels for any older date. Now old BO Summary date can be selected and BO Verification can be performed, for COD Parcels delivered through Branch Post Offices.Necessary action may be taken for following proper procedures in the Post Offices.
