Finalist processing generates the following output:
- Corrected and standardized addresses
- You determine whether the processing results are written to your input file or to additional output files.
- Return codes
- You can use the Finalist return codes to analyze addresses that Finalist could not match to USPS data to determine any corrective action.
- Reports
- These Finalist reports provide information for the processing performed on your input file during the processing run:
- Address Detail Report — The Address Detail Report consists of four sections providing processing information for each input address.
- Finalist Batch Report — The Finalist Batch Report displays all configurable options and statistics generated at the time of the processing run.
- USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report) — With each mailing submitted at an automation-based rate, a mailer must submit a completed USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report). You can submit the original USPS Form or the facsimile generated by your program. Finalist will produce a facsimile of USPS Form 3553 (CASS Summary Report) and partially complete it for you.
- Error messages
- Finalist error messages assist in troubleshooting any errors you may encounter during processing.
