This field is then presented to Presort through the field PW. Entry_ID. Presort will assign each mail piece to the first entry point that it is able to match either by ZIP or PW. Entry_ID.
Setting up your DEF file(s)
Entry_ID is a PW field. In the DEF file, you create the link between Entry_ID and your database field. For example, your DEF entry might be:
PW. Entry_ID = DB. ENTRY_PT
If you're not sure what PW fields and DEF files are, read our Database Prep manual.
Linking each entry point to a field value
Let's say that you've got each entry point set up, and the PW. Entry_ID field set up. The link is that each Entry Point Description includes one value for PW. Entry_ID. As Presort evaluates each input record, it checks the PW. Entry_ID value. Then Presort tries to match this value to one of the Entry Point Descriptions. For example, Presort might find a record in which the PW. Entry_ID field is empty, or contains an invalid value-- that is, a value not among those you have defined in the job. Your options for handling such records are explained on "Essential points of job setup" on page 133.

Eligibility for discounts
Mail is eligible for destination discounts depending on where you enter the mail, the mail class, and the type of mailing. If you have questions about this, refer them to your USPS account representative or postmaster. For some types of mail and entry points, Presort can automatically determine which pieces get the destination discount, and which do not. (This is based on the ZIP Code of the piece, and on data in Presort's SCF directory. ) In other situations, you may have to or want to spell out which ZIPs get the discount. We explain each situation below; then at "Automatic DDU versus setting ZIP ranges" on page 140, we show you the setup.
