The Error Resolution System (ERS) Blocks Out Of Balance (BOB) Resolution Section provides instructions for transcribing and verifying correction data from the BOB register for ERS, using the Integrated Submission Remittance Processing (ISRP) System. ERS is a replacement for the Service Center Replacement System (SCRS). The instructions in this section apply only to the transcription and verification of correction data for documents which have been converted to ERS.
