A business reply mail processing system is provided. A transport module feeds a business reply mail piece in a path of travel where the business reply mail piece includes a job ID code and field data. A scanner module scans the business reply mail piece to read the job ID code and the field data. A control module uses the job ID code to access processing data from a mail campaign job database corresponding to the job ID code and controls the scanner module using the processing data to read the field data from the business reply mail piece. Alternatively, the business reply mail piece includes the processing data that is read by the scanner and the control module uses the processing data read from the business reply mail piece to read the field data from the business reply mail piece.
