Regulatory Submissions

Purpose

A regulatory submission record coordinates preparation and records what happened with an external filing. The platform does not transmit the filing: Mark Submitted records state, submission time, and submitter after the authorized external submission has occurred.

Before You Start

Submission Lifecycle

  1. draft → pending when the package is assembled for final review.
  2. pending → draft when review finds changes are needed.
  3. pending → submitted only after external transmission. This records the time and current employee as submitter.
  4. submitted → acknowledged when the recipient confirms acceptance or receipt.
  5. submitted → rejected when the recipient rejects or returns it.
  6. rejected → draft to correct and prepare a new attempt.

Acknowledged is terminal in the current workflow. A submitted record cannot be returned directly to draft. Record confirmation references, response dates, and response summaries so another reviewer can reconstruct the outcome.

Final Review

Decisions And Consequences

Changing status is an auditable record change, not an external action. The due date can create a calendar event when an employee context is available, but it does not guarantee delivery or escalation. Missing evidence in the checklist is a readiness warning; the interface still relies on operator judgment.

What To Watch

Recovery

If review finds a problem while pending, return to draft. If the recipient rejects a submitted filing, record the rejection and response, then return it to draft for correction. If the wrong record was marked submitted, do not invent an acknowledgement; preserve the audit trail, document the error, and escalate to the compliance owner for the corrective record.
