# Postal Walk Sequence

This utility allows you to assign or change the walk sequence order for your mail addresses. The walk sequence indicates the order in which the postal carrier delivers addresses on a route. By placing mail in walk sequence order, you can receive certain mailing discounts.

Mail labels can be printed in walk sequence order within each PO route. Walk sequence order can also be automatically assigned.

One way to determine the walk sequence order is to print walk sequence cards (see [Walk Sequence Cards](/circulation-user-manual/reporting/postal-menu/walk-sequence-cards.md)) and send them to the post office, where they will be put in walk sequence order and returned.

#### You can then order the addresses correctly using this option:

* Select Postal Walk Sequence from the Setup menu to display the Postal Walk Sequence Update screen.

* Specify the Zip code, postal carrier route, and sort order for which you are setting up the walk sequence.<br>

  <table><thead><tr><th width="157.33333333333331">Field</th><th width="120">Type</th><th>What to enter</th></tr></thead><tbody><tr><td>ZIP CODE</td><td>setup</td><td>Enter the Zip code for which to set up postal walk sequences. Enter “*” to enter multiple Zip codes.</td></tr><tr><td>PO TYPE</td><td>predefined</td><td>Enter the PO route type. Enter an “*” to include all types or press F2 for a lookup of valid types.</td></tr><tr><td>PO NUMBER</td><td>open (3)</td><td>If you entered a PO route type in PO TYPE, enter the PO route number or enter “*” to include all routes.</td></tr><tr><td>SORT ORDER</td><td>predefined</td><td>Indicate whether addresses should be displayed on the screen in street address or walk sequence order.</td></tr><tr><td>ASSIGN</td><td>yes/no</td><td>Indicate if you want sequence numbers to be automatically assigned by 10s (e.g., 10, 20, 30, etc.).</td></tr></tbody></table>
* Select Continue to begin the sequencing. Addresses with the Zip code, PO type and PO number you specified will be displayed, along with their sequence number (which is initially zero).

* Select Modify, scroll down to the first address in the sequence, and press Enter. You can then enter the sequence number for this address. We recommend that you sequence addresses by tens (10, 20, 30, etc.) so that addresses can be added into the sequence later.
* Press Enter after specifying a sequence number, and select another address. When you have finished entering walk sequence numbers, press F4 and select Exit (twice) to exit to the main menu.
