8.7 Rejecting Reports from E-File
You can reject reports from an E-file before completing the SAR process. After a report is rejected from an E-file, it is removed from the reports list and the status of the rejected report changes to Rejected from E-file.
For reports that are not rejected, a new E-file is regenerated. If the
acknowledgment file is already uploaded, you can complete the SAR process of the
regenerated E-file by clicking Complete SAR Process. You can correct a rejected report
and resubmit for Super User or Administrator's approval. After the corrected report is
approved, you can follow the workflow of filing a regulatory report all over again
subsequently, while uploading the acknowledgment (XML) file received from FinCEN into
the USSAR Cloud Service, a new BSA Identifier overwrites the previously associated BSA
Identifier of the rejected SAR(s). After an E-file is uploaded and accepted by FinCEN,
you cannot reject SARs from the E-file until the acknowledgment file is uploaded and
parsed. If you reject a report after submission but before processing the acknowledgment
files there will be a mismatch in the files referenced in the acknowledgment file and
the current E-file. If a report is rejected before uploading the acknowledgment into the
application, then you have to re-submit the E-file at FinCEN’s BSA E-Filing System to
get the latest acknowledgment file.
To reject the SARs from an E-file, follow these steps:
- On the E-file Summary page, go to the E-file List pane, and select the E-file. The Report List for the selected E-files is displayed.
- Select the report or reports you want to reject from the E-file and click reject . The rejected reports are removed from the E-file List results.
