8 Filing Reports
After a report is created, the details are analyzed and then submitted for approval. An authorized user validates the report details and either approves, rejects, or closes the report.
If the report is approved the report is available for E-File generation by an authorized user. An E-File consists of an approved report. You can also generate and submit a batch E-File. The batch E-File is the set of reports with the same legal entity and location.
The generated E-File is submitted to the FINTRAC E-Filing System (this activity is done outside the OFS CRR CA STR application). The E-File is validated by FINTRAC and an acknowledgment is generated with one of the following Acknowledgment statuses: Acknowledgment - Accepted, Acknowledgment - Accepted with Warnings, and Acknowledgment - Rejected.
This acknowledgment file must be uploaded into the OFS CRR CA STR application to complete this workflow.

Only the users mapped to the role of Supervisor and Analyst2 can generate the E-File and upload the acknowledgment.
