Note:

The reject file must exist in the Done directory under Rejects.

To reprocess a reject file:

  1. From the Files - Rejects data table, right-click on a reject file and select Reprocess. The IDI Clearinghouse Service processes the file as follows:

    • Deletes the summary information for the Reject file.

    • Moves the original file.

    • Processes the Reject file.
