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:
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
