The Daily PO Report is used by the post office to facilitate mail delivery. In fact, your post office may accept the Daily PO report in lieu of U.S. form 3541.
If you use PostWare for mail sorting, you do not need to use this option—a 3541 is created automatically when you create mail labels using the Print Labels option. As with other PostWare reports, you must use the View/Print utility to view and print the 3541s. A separate PO report will be printed for each entry point (i.e., some newspapers distribute mailings from multiple post offices).
When creating the 3541, PostWare uses the weight and other information about the paper entered with Press Room Entry. If you have not entered this press room history for the publishing date, PostWare will use the first future press room record for the same day of the week. So, if you enter a week’s worth of average press room information for the year 2008, PostWare will use this information for the 3541—and it may be accurate enough to submit to your post office. However, after entering press room information for a day, you may want to print the Financial PO Report for an “official” 3541 that you can give to the post office.
If you do not use PostWare, separate reports are provided for each label group, and a summary report is also provided for each product and all label groups. If your local postal authority allows it, you can attach this report to the postal form in lieu of the form.
If most of your addresses are in Canada (and if you have indicated this in Business Rules), a Canadian post office report is printed instead of a U.S. post office report.
