Abstract: A system and method are provided to determine in order, what mailing pieces are eligible for Flat Sequence Sorter (FSS) preparation, determine applicable prices of the pieces, and prepare bundles of the pieces to conform to the expected USPS output. By orderly implementing a filtering operation wherein FSS and Non-FSS pieces are first identified, followed by a pricing operation for groups with a very granular level (HDP) and the best price, to groups with a very coarse level (3D), and then creating bundles, pallets or containers, sacks, trays or handling units, of the FSS and Non-FSS pieces based thereon, the system and method identifies the best possible pricing for a mailing, while ensuring that the final mailing is compliant with U.S. Postal Service, Domestic Mail Manual, Section 705.
