8.8 Completing the SAR Process

After uploading an acknowledgment into the USSAR Cloud Service, you can complete the suspicious activity reporting process by clicking the Complete SAR Process. The status of all regulatory reports included in the E-file then changes to Filed. After a report is moved to the Filed status it cannot be edited.

To complete the SAR process, follow these steps:

1. On the E-file Summary page, go to the E-file List pane, and select the E-file with acknowledgment.
2. Click SAR Process Complete. A confirmation message is displayed.

   Note:

   • If you try to take the Complete SAR Process action before performing the Upload Acknowledgment action, a warning message is displayed.
   • If you try to take the Upload Acknowledgment action on a file for which the SAR process is already complete, a warning message is displayed.
