Test Environment for Mailers (TEM) is for mailers wishing to go into production with eDoc OR Full-Service. Please note this is not a software certification like PAVE or ZAP. PostalOne! has made this requirement for eDoc and Full-Service to make sure before starting in production mailers have all the necessary information like Mailer ID (MID), Customer Registration ID (CRID), Permit Number, Publication Number etc and are able to update, cancel, delete their jobs correctly. Basically Mailers, Preparers, and Agents are expected to test messages they will use in the Production environment and get familiar with it. We here at SAP have been regularly testing every release of PostalOne! for TEM and been actively involved with successful FSS testing for TEM.

Mailers can participate in eDoc with or without Intelligent Mail services. eDoc is optional for the Intelligent Mail Basic option but is required for Intelligent Mail Full-Service. If you are a  Basic service mailer and are just moving from POSTNET barcodes to Intelligent Mail barcodes on letter and flat mailpieces, no TEM testing is required for you.

Couple of things you will need before you can start

  • You must be registered Business Customer Gateway users, with a business account. If you don't please go to https://gateway.usps.com/bcg/login.htm
  • Please make sure you have all the Intelligent Mail Barcode requirement.

For more details on scenarios to be tested please look at http://ribbs.usps.gov/intelligentmail_gateway/documents/tech_guides/TEMCHECKLIST.pdf
