Abstract
Apparatus, methods, media and code for routing a mail item are provided. A conveyor in mechanical communication with a mail item registration station may include a processor for registering a first part of the mail item. The processor may: determine that: the first part is a payment part; and a second part that corresponds to the first part is exceptional; identify a destination that corresponds to the first part; and route the first part to the destination along with an indication corresponding to the missing second part.
Claims21
Apparatus for routing a mail item, the apparatus comprising:
- a conveyor in mechanical communication with a mail item registration station that includes a processor for registering a first part of the mail item;
- wherein the processor is configured to:
- determine that:
- the first part is a payment part;
- and
- a second part that corresponds to the first part is exceptional;
- identify a destination that corresponds to the first part;
- and
- route the first part to the destination along with an indication corresponding to the missing second part.
An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer usable medium having computer readable program code embodied therein, the code when executed by one or more processors causing a computer associated with an organization to route a mail item, the computer readable program code in the article comprising:
- computer readable program code that when executed causes the computer to register for the mail item a first part;
- computer readable program code that when executed causes the computer to determine that:
- the mail item is a payment mail item;
- and
- a second part that corresponds to the first part is exceptional;
- computer readable program code that when executed causes the computer to identify a destination that corresponds to the first part;
- and
- computer readable program code that when executed causes the computer to route the first part to the destination along with an indication corresponding to the missing second part.
One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of a computer system, perform a method for routing a mail item, the method comprising:
- registering, by the one or more processors, for the mail item, a first part;
- determining, by the one or more processors, that:
- the mail item is a payment mail item;
- and
- a second part that corresponds to the first part is exceptional;
- identifying, by the one or more processors, a destination that corresponds to the first part;
- and
- routing, by the one or more processors, the first part to the destination along with an indication corresponding to the missing second part.
