When a shipment is filed to the AES, a system response message is generated and indicates whether the shipment has been accepted or rejected. If the shipment is accepted, the AES filer receives an Internal Transaction Number (ITN) as confirmation. However, if the shipment is rejected, a Fatal Error notification is received.
To help you resolve AES Fatal Errors, here are some tips on how to correct the most frequent errors that were generated in AES for this month.
Fatal Error Response Code: 561
Narrative: DDTC License Number Unknown
Reason: The License Code/ License Exemption Code reported requires a Department of State/ Directorate of Defense Trade Controls (DDTC) license number, but the DDTC license number reported is unknown in AES.
Resolution: The DDTC license number reported must be valid in AES.
Verify the DDTC license number, correct and resubmit.
Fatal Error Response Code: 590
Narrative: Shipment Value Exceeds Available Value for License
Reason: The License Code/ License Exemption Code reported was DDTC S05 for a DSP-05 license, but the Value reported exceeds the value remaining on the license.
Resolution: The DSP-05 license has not been decremented because the Value reported exceeds the value amount remaining for that license.
Verify the Value, correct and resubmit.
For further assistance, contact the licensing agency. The Department of State/ Directorate of Defense Trade Controls / DDTC Help Desk can be reached on 202-663-2838.
