8.3 Using Acknowledgment Tab

An Acknowledgment is a receipt generated by the FINTRAC E-File System when you submit an E-File or a Batch E-File. The acknowledgment with multiple reports is called a Batch Acknowledgment.

Use this section to view acknowledgment details such as the date on which the batch was processed, the list of rejected reports, the total reports processed, and the acknowledgment (.Json) file. After processing the E-File or Batch E-File, the FINTRAC E-File System rejects or accepts the reports.
Use this section to filter the acknowledgment receipts processed by the FINTRAC E-File System for further verifications. This list provides the status of the E-File whether it is accepted or rejected. For the rejected E-Files, you can rework and resubmit an E-File into the FINTRAC E-File System.
To view batch acknowledgment and report details, select the required record number from the list. The Batch Acknowledgment Details pane is displayed. This pane details the batch date, batch status, total reports processed, and so on. For the reports with errors and issues, you can generate revised reports. For more information, seeGenerating Revised Reports.
To search the acknowledgment receipts, follow these steps:
  1. On the File Reports page, click the Acknowledgments tab. The Acknowledgment Receipts Search and List page is displayed.
