31/12/1999 09:42:54 Paul Steed The phantom 19p stamp sales could be a sticky F2 key but we need more

31/12/1999 09:42:54 — Paul Steed 1 and counter 2. Since the transactions have been binned there will be no

31/12/1999 09:42:54 Paul Steed evidence in the message store.

31/12/1999 09:42:54 — Paul Steed

31/12/1999 09:42:54 Paul Steed The length of time is a red herring, the balance snapshot can be at variance

31/12/1999 09:42:54 Paul Steed depending on the committed state of transactions.

31/12/1999 09:42:54 —_ Paul Steed

31/12/1999 09:42:54 — Paul Steed The only area that can be investigated is the £240.00 & £331.38 discrepancies.

05/01/2000 09:54:49 — Paul Steed I have spoken to Mrs Parsons and the problems are: -

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed Firstly.

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed Phantom transactions appearing on the stack (one appeared on counter 3 as we

05/01/2000 09:54:49 —_ Paul Steed were talking). She says that this is occurring on all counters. She also

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed mentioned the system going to a different screen when she was in the middle

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed of a group 5 P & A transaction. This type of problem is suggesting keystrokes

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed being generated by the hardware; I find it difficult to believe this is

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed happening at all counter positions but an engineer will need to invstigate

05/01/2000 09:54:49 —_ Paul Steed this.

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed Secondly.

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed Discrepancies when declaring cash. The declared and derived figures are

05/01/2000 09:54:49 Paul Steed different. Thursday 30-Dec-1999 short by £97.23.

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe for the latest 2 weeks have been OK. She is happier about this now.

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe They are still having problems with the phantom transactions. They are most

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe likely to appear on counter 3 but also appear on the other 2 counters. They

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe are often stamps, but not always. They are being very careful with it now and

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe doing the transactions slowly and checking them before they complete them.

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe From here we can see no reason why this should be happening and suggest that

14/01/2000 11:03:23 Diane Rowe an engineer is sent to site to investigate the situation. Perhaps there is a
