+====== Upset Sale Menu ======
 ===== Number Preview =====
 Number Preview produces a report that allows the user to preview which properties that will be included in the Upset Sale along with the current taxes and costs.  It does not make any permanent changes and is not a required step.  This report is included so that Tax Claim can review the properties to be included prior to making the frozen copy of the sale file and possible take some action to include/exclude a property from the sale.  This report can be run for a single township, or by leaving the township blank when prompted, the entire county.

 This process sets the Sale Date on the Sale records and on the permanent copy of the upset records.  This step may be re-run if the upset sale needs to be rescheduled.
 ===== Posting Notice =====
-This process creates an Upset Notice that can be used to post a property.  This process takes into account that the property must currently have a status of pre-upset, have an outstanding tax claim prior to the latest tax claim year, have no flags and have a Sale record for the current year. This means if any payments have been accepted or flags added the number of notices may decrease.

+//Once all properties have been posted//, use this button to print an **Upset Posting Certification**.  This certification is a copy of the original poster used to post the property along with preprinted signatures for the assessor who performed the posting and the county Prothonotary.
 ===== Corporate Compliance =====

 This button produces a letter to each property owner notifying them that their property was sold at Upset Sale.  While these designed to be used in window envelopes this process also produces labels that can be used to address the letters.
 ===== Mark for Posting =====
-This process interfaces with the Wayne County GIS system to mark properties that need to be posted. **This process should be run at the end of each day while properties are being posted**.  This will clear the posting flag from the GIS map for properties that have been paid off or are otherwise no longer up for sale.
+This process interfaces with the Wayne County GIS system to mark properties that need to be posted.  This process should be run after the "Assign Sale #" process, which resets all properties to gray in the mapping program. **This process should then be run at the end of each day while properties are being posted**.  This will clear the posting flag from the GIS map for properties that have been paid off or are otherwise no longer up for sale.
 ===== Reset Remail Flg =====
 This process resets all of the Remail Flags.  In the event that an Upset Sale Notice has not been properly delivered it may be necessary to attempt another mailing.  To handle this each owner has check box that appears on the Property Claim Form.  Checking this box will cause this owner to receive another notice in the next step Remail Notice.
 ===== Remail Notice =====
-This process will create an Upset Sale Notice for the owners who have the Remail Flag set.  See the prior step, Reset Remail Flg, for more details.
+This process will create an Upset Sale Notice for the owners who have the Remail Flag set, //but only if the property is still eligible for upset sale//.  See the prior step, Reset Remail Flg, for more details.
+This button opens two reports.  One is the Upset Notice to be re-mailed.  The other is Post Office form PS 3877.  Before the reports are previewed, the program asks for the "Certification of Mailing" fee.  This fee is then printed on form PS 3877 under the column heading "(Extra Service) Fee."
+When the Upset Notice report is closed, the program asks for the "cost to apply to parcels."  If the notices were printed correctly and you would like to automatically apply costs for each notice re-mailed, you can enter an amount in this form.  The program will then create a cost record in that amount for each notice generated.  If you don't wish to use this feature, simply press Cancel and the report will close without creating any new cost records.
 ===== Import Cert =====
 When notices are printed by an outside vendor the Certification Numbers will be returned in a text file.  This process imports these Certification Numbers so that they are associated with the correct notices.
